The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District is seeking to lease retail and related office space in McKinney, Texas to replace expiring government occupancy.

Key requirements include compliance with all federal, state, and local ordinances; adherence to Department of Defense Unified Facility Criteria for force protection standards; designated or open parking; location outside the 100-year flood plain; and occupancy readiness by April 23, 2026. The government will evaluate proposals based on the availability of alternative space that meets requirements and the costs associated with relocation, including physical moving expenses, replication of tenant improvements, telecommunications infrastructure, and agency downtime. Interested parties must submit expressions of interest with specified documentation to Anna Cleveland at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers no later than December 20, 2025, with a formal solicitation anticipated by December 21, 2025.
