City of Lakeway's Growth for 2009

City of Lakeway representatives Shannon Burke and Chelsea Blanchard came to my market center to give a presentation on the city's growth. This is the second time I am blogging about the fast growth of Lakeway and the changes appear right in front on my eyes.



Below are my notes, to the best I could take them:



No. Lakeway Village - 160 total acres; on FM 620 and Clara Van; close to Ryland's Home's location. 130 single family homes, 88 condos



Corey Fish Funeral Homes - West side of FM 620



Vistas of Lakeway - Toll Brother's Community of 175. Phase 1 is still under construction which has 110 condos.



Lake Travis Transitional Medical Center - Opens spring 2010, located behind the post office. A long term acute care hospital, medical office is going up. This is for patients who are just coming out of ICU just before going to rehab.



Real del Lago - 22,500 sq ft building, restaurant and retail office. This is going on FM 620 just next to Walgreens.



Discovery Point - 1st phase is almost done, 11,000 sq ft of office space. 2nd phase will be twice as big, 22,000 sq ft. medical office building closer to the ridge.



Lakeway Regional Medical Center - 54 acres of 104 bed hospital, medical office, retail, hotel, retail and restaurants. Site work is underway. There may be more beds 40+.



Tuscan Village - on Lohman's Crossing, 61 acres of age restricted community. 120 Single family cottages, 70 townhomes, 100 condos, with library and retail stories. Across the street on Lohman's Crossing will be a 210 multifamily dwelling.

Lakeway Mud Water Tank - which is already in progress on Lohman's Crossing. This tank will hold 2 million gallons of water.

Pierce Plaza - on Lohman's Crossing and Rolling Green, 12,000 sq. ft. office building.

Lakeway Dental - this 8,000 sq ft medical office will go next to the old Exxon station on Lakeway Blvd.

Lakeway Church - is expanding the church adding a 13,000 sq ft building.

Lakeway Highlands - As you know, Highland Blvd. is being extended from Lakeway towards Bee Creek by Rough Hollow. This will be 1,540 acres which includes a hotel, yacht club, 1,400 single family lots, 330 condos. The street should be complete this summer.

Serene Hills - The road was expanded to connect to Hwy. 71; 456 acres of 300 single family homes plus 300-400 apartment units with a commercial building.

Palombo, Flintrock - 15 single family lots near Flintrock Falls.

There will also be two new schools, an Elementary school and a Middle School by Bee Creek Road. How about a Hight School? No talks of adding a new one at this time. What Lakeway really needs is another grocery store. The HEB Shopping Center of Hwy 71 and Hwy 2244 which recently expanded has been so congested! The Randalls on FM620 is a bit more expensive than HEB.
