The city of Hutto announced Aug. 14 the development of a senior living facility at the southwest corner of the intersection of SH 130 and Hwy. 79.

The Trails at Carmel Creek will include 61 units with private patios built on 6.25 acres along the future extension of Carl Stern Boulevard. Plans for the facility also include a fitness center, movie theater and community rooms, according to a city news release.

"We are delighted to have this project in Hutto," Hutto Mayor Debbie Holland said in the release. "The City Council recognizes the need for housing diversity, and this project adds an element that serves a growing population within the community."

DMA Development Co. will lead the project. The company has previously built 11 senior communities in Austin, Llano, Seguin, Texas City, Corsicana, Midlothian, Abilene and Kyle as well as communities in Santa Fe, N.M., and Washington, D.C.
