In one of America’s fastest-growing cities, Palladium McKinney houses the people who keep McKinney running. The 172-home community brings high-quality, fully affordable housing to Collin County for teachers, healthcare workers, public safety personnel, and families priced out of the city they serve. Born from a partnership between Palladium USA, the City of McKinney, the McKinney Housing Finance Corporation, the McKinney Public Facility Corporation, and the McKinney Community Development Corporation, the community navigated historic interest rate volatility and rising construction costs, delivering more than 47 million dollars of dignified rental housing. Every apartment home is reserved for households at or below 60 percent of the Area Median Income, addressing a widening gap between local incomes and market rents. Financing combined tax-exempt multifamily bonds and 4 percent federal Housing Tax Credits administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) with a 1.5 million dollar local commitment from the McKinney CDC. Residents enjoy a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom homes averaging 938 square feet, paired with resort-quality amenities, professional on-site management, and Palladium Connect programming. Palladium McKinney brings Palladium USA’s mission—changing lives one apartment home at a time—to life, giving a single parent the ability to afford both rent and school supplies and allowing an essential worker to finally live in the city they serve.
