2-story retail project in the works near Gruene’s Historic District

Developers with LGD 1 LLC are hoping to break ground on a two-story retail project at 1551 Gruene Road later this year.

The overview

The 65,000-square-foot retail project, currently named Shops at Lower Gruene, will be home to a mix of retail and restaurant space.

The first floor will likely be food and beverage, while the second floor of the building will most likely house personal services, such as a yoga or Pilates studio, said Justin Holliday, one of the managing members and partners of the group developing the property.

“Our hope is that we are permitted and ready to turn dirt sometime this summer,” Holliday told Community Impact.

Once they receive permitting, construction can begin. Holliday said construction on the project is expected to take a year.
