A big announcement was made for the planned development of Presidio Austin. Houston-Based home builder David Weekley Homes announced the firm has purchased 15 acres of land near Lakeline Mall in the Cedar Park area. The plan? To build 180 new, high-end townhouses in the Presidio Austin development.
Welcome to Presidio Austin
Construction on the Presidio Austin townhomes are scheduled to begin by the third quarter of 2017, with home prices ranging from $300,000 to more than $500,000. Staying true to the style that David Weekley Homes are known for, interested buyers can expect the townhomes will be designed to be energy-efficient with private yards, open floor plans, and site amenities including a pool, pavilion, and open space.
Presido Austin is a 130-acre master-planned, mixed-use development, adding five million square feet of commercial and residential use to Cedar Park. Because the site is zoned at a planned development, buildings are meant to share architectural standards such as similar color tones and masonry. There is an additional requirement for each project to be connected by new parks and trails and have limited connection to Parmer of Austin, encouraging residents to park and walk to difference locations.
The first phase of the development began in 2015, which included an extension of Lakeline Mall Boulevard and the addition of a roundabout at Lakeline Mall Boulevard and Lynhurst Drive, connecting Texas 45 with the commuter rail station.
Cedar Park is working hard to bring modern amenities to the area while maintaining the small town feeling that residents love. This "Urban-Suburban" community style will be the focus behind the Presido Austin development, offering residents the live/work concept that is a growing trend in today's communities. Presido Austin will feature:
- 6,000 square feet of restaurants
- 16,000 square feet of shopping
- Two new hotels
- 100 new hotel rooms
- 16 new four-level apartment buildings
- And the recently announced 180 high-end townhomes
