MCKINNEY, TEXAS — Multifamily developer SWBC has begun construction on Phase II of The Royalton at Craig Ranch, a 271-unit project that will be located within the Craig Ranch master-planned community in McKinney. Floor plans will consist of one-, two- and three-bedroom units that feature granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and individual washer and dryer connections. Amenities will include a pool, clubhouse, 24-hour fitness center and outdoor grilling areas. Cross Architects is handling design of the project, and Stantec is the civil engineer.
