On Nov. 26, Rich Phillips, owner of Hill Country Golf and Guitar, 15506 W. Hwy. 71, Bee Cave, announced he has a contract to purchase the adjoining lot and intends to build a small neighborhood retail center on the site—Wisteria Place.

Phillips said he envisions a nail salon, coffee shop, or cardstore on the property, and possibly a daycare center, but has not filed site plans for the project with the city of Bee Cave.

"Hill Country development—Bee Cave, Lakeway, Spicewood—requires a partnership with the community which a lot of developers don't consider," he said.
