Adriatica village is a mixed-use development in McKinney, Texas.[1] It is the first prototype of developer Jeff Blackard's philosophy, neoretroism.[2][3] Designed to be walkable, it is based loosely on the village of Supetar on the island of Brač in Croatia, and contains a variety of housing and a replica bell tower.[4][5]
History[edit]
Adriatica began as a 45-acre tract of raw land in StoneBridge Ranch.[6] It was purchased for over $5 million in 2005[7] by developer Jeff Blackard. He spent over $1 million on a one year long case to revise the zoning restrictions on the property.[8] The first building, a retail strip center including Starbucks and UPS, was built in 2005.[9] In the following decade a variety of uses were developed, including approximately 70 single family homes,[10] 500 multi-family units,[11][12] 30 condos, and half a million square feet of commercial uses.[13]
