El Porton Shopping Center

February 2004—Joe Funk Construction Engineers is the general contractor tapped to build a new shopping center in McKinney, Texas. El Porton Shopping Center, which means the "Gateway" to McKinney, is a new 20,000 square foot retail center. The retail center will be built at the northeast corner of I-75 and Eldorado Parkway.

Bry Taylor at Bryson Realty Advisors is marketing the property and has begun pre-leasing the shopping center. The shopping center will be complete and ready for occupancy mid-summer 2004. "We look forward to working with Joe Funk Construction on the El Porton project. Their preparation and attention to detail is impressive," says Bry Taylor. Bryson Realty Advisors is a full service brokerage specializing in real estate brokerage, development, leasing and management throughout the Collin County region.

Jon Mindrup at Good Fulton & Farrell Architects, one of the Metroplex’s best architectural firms, has worked on the design and administrative phase services for the El Porton project. "It is an honor to be selected as the general contractor on the El Porton project, and we certainly look forward to working with Good Fulton Farrell Architects. Their reputation for quality design and first class projects is well deserved," says Mitchell Meyers, Vice President of Joe Funk Construction. "We are pleased to continue our association with them.”

The El Porton project is a perfect fit with the talents and extensive experience of Rusty Norris, who is leading the Joe Funk Construction team as project manager. Dale Donnelly will be the El Porton project field superintendent. "We are excited about working with Bry, and again working with Good Fulton Farrell Architects. It is a signature project," says Rusty Norris.
