 If you live in Central Texas, you are well aware of the ongoing construction on every corner, and if you are planning on making a move, knowing the plans for future developments will help you make an informed decision. 

Now I hear your concerns about ruining the beauty of the land and creating unaffordable housing. Unfortunately, my expertise is not in fixing the world's problems; believe me, I wish it were, but my goal is to help my clients find their dream homes in areas they love. 

Let's jump into a few of the exciting residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments planned for 2024.

• Leander Springs - I covered this in a video early on, and there has been some speculation that it would not happen. However, as of January 2024, they expect to break ground and be completed by 2027. The billion-dollar projects will encompass 78 acres of land and create 1 million square feet of commercial development and up to 1600 units for multifamily residential development. 
• Here is a rendering of the beautiful crystal lagoon the whole development will be constructed around.

• Briarwood is a 205-acre planned mixed-use development located in Elgin, TX. There will be 4 builders (Brightland Homes, Chesmar Homes, Coventry Homes, and Castlerock Communities) building on 772 lots. 
• Plus 20 acres of commercial and multifamily development. One of the huge benefits to this community is the excellent school district and the proximity to the schools.

Now we head to south Austin to check in on the

• Brodie Oaks Shopping Center the project will deliver 1.2 million sq ft of office space, 140,000 sq ft of retail space, 1700 multifamily units, and 200 hotel rooms. 
• The area will be transformed from a dated concrete strip mall into an urban oasis, creating 12 acres of new city parkland; 10 of those acres will be adjacent to the Barton Creek Greenbelt. 
• Hopefully, this project will create a roadmap to do away with the overpaved shopping centers throughout the city.

• Alamo Plaza is one of the most exciting on the list. 
• If you have ever been to San Antonio, you know the area surrounding the Alamo has turned into a money-grabbing circus sideshow. Well, Alamo Plaza is reimagining the whole area and recapturing the original mission site and battlefield footprint by creating a world-class Visitor Center and Museum to tell the full story.
