In 2022, construction began on part of Lakeway's new City Center, where over 80 acres of new retail, residential and public park space is planned. However, in May, city officials heard updates that dirt has yet to turn on a majority of the site due to wastewater logistics.
The context
The new city center consists of three projects, according to city documents:
- The Square at Lohmans: 350,000 square feet of commercial space, up to 330 residential units and public amenities, such as a splash pad, an amphitheater and pedestrian paths
- The Oaks Planned Unit Development Phase 2: 270-unit apartment complex and 23-acre park
- Tuscan Village Planned Unit Development: 21 cottages and 210-unit multifamily apartment complex, called The Jovie, with half of the units restricted for residents over age 55
The three developments will be connected by extending the existing Main Street westward through the site.
