Celina parking garage construction advances on schedule
Development of the new downtown parking garage is moving forward on schedule, the city of Celina reported, with its construction partner, Swinerton, making progress on level three.
The city stated that in the coming weeks, the focus will be on placing concrete decks, a milestone that will enhance parking capacity.
Swinerton also officially broke ground on the new Downtown Center.
Initial construction activities will include excavating the basement area, installing the soil retention system and drilling foundation piers. Additionally, extensive hauling operations will begin to remove significant volumes of soil from the site, resulting in increased truck traffic along FM 455 during this phase.
Assistant City Manager Kim Brawner said crews have begun pouring columns for the fourth deck and will soon pour concrete for the fourth deck.
Swinerton has also dug the foundation and basement of the Downtown Center, reaching a depth of 5 feet.
The city approved the $19.3 million garage in September 2024 and the Downtown Center project in February.
