JUST REDUCED — $590,000 ±1.7 Acres — MN Mixed-Use Zoning Secured 5130 E. McKinney St., Denton, TX — The E. McKinney Corridor Newly priced and ready to move on. This isn't raw, speculative dirt — it's a shovel-ready mixed-use opportunity with the hard entitlement work already behind it. At ±1.7 acres with MN (Mixed-Use Neighborhood) zoning secured, there's no rezoning risk and no drawn-out approval gauntlet. Just a clean, direct path from acquisition to site plan submission. Flexibility that protects your margins. MN zoning opens the door to a wide range of income-producing concepts — neighborhood retail and limited commercial, professional or medical office, live-work and vertical mixed-use, multifamily, and civic space. That range lets you pivot your product strategy around absorption data, tenant demand, or capital structure — a real edge in a shifting market. The demand drivers are already here. The site sits directly across from Billy Ryan High School, delivering consistent daily traffic and built-in visibility. It backs up to ±6.7 acres zoned R7 — incoming residential rooftops that will feed retail and service demand right next door. Strong arterial frontage anchors it to the accelerating E. McKinney corridor, with direct access to Mayhill Road and Loop 288 connecting to employment, healthcare, and established neighborhoods. The right scale for infill. At ±1.7 acres, the parcel is large enough for a meaningful commercial or mixed-use build, yet efficient enough to keep carrying costs low and your timeline tight. Arterial, MN-zoned parcels of this size inside Denton are increasingly rare — and well-located infill like this tends to deliver the strongest percentage returns. Bigger vision? Take both. The adjacent ±6.7 acres zoned R7 is also available. Acquire both parcels for a coordinated retail-plus-residential play with demand capture built into the plan.
