Russell Alabastro, capital improvements project manager for Leander’s Public Works Department, gave the update during the Oct. 16 regular council meeting and said the city was targeting a Nov. 19 completion date for the project. Construction was originally slated to be complete in October but the project experienced a few minor delays.
Alabastro said the final construction touches are going to be done in the coming week. The city is installing fire and sprinkler systems, laying network cable, and beginning to pour concrete for sidewalks and courtyards.
Some background
The senior center, located at 11880 Hero Way W., Ste. 600, Leander, has been a city priority for nearly a decade since the funding for the facility was approved in a 2016 bond. After multiple delays, including a lengthy pause spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility broke ground in May 2024.
The building will feature a multipurpose room, full kitchen, fitness room, activities room, staff offices and flex spaces to serve the city’s active senior community.
The city was not able to confirm as of press time when the grand opening for the facility could take place.
