Swinerton Finishes Phase 1 of Celina’s Downtown Center By Keri White CEG CORRESPONDENT
Celina, Texas, just completed Phase 1 of a major $93.5 million development project.

Celina to bring this transformative project to life,” said Tyler Whittaker, Dallas division manager and vice president of Swinerton. “The Downtown Center and parking garage will be pivotal in supporting Celina’s continued growth and evolution.” The project’s design team of KED, Kimley-Horn and DBR worked collaboratively with Swinerton on all aspects of the development. Design costs totaled $8 million. Funding is primarily sourced from certificates of obligation bonds. see CELINA page 18
