Presidium and Cid Galindo, developers on the $1.2 billion mixed-use development Pecan District, announced today they will break ground on the development’s first building Oct. 26.

A 272-unit apartment complex dubbed “The Elliott” represents the first stage of development for the Pecan District, according to a press release issued Monday afternoon.

The Elliott will offer one-and-two-bedroom apartment floor plans averaging 855-square-feet. Each apartment comes with a balcony and modern fixtures, according to Presidium.

Pflugerville’s first mixed-use, master planned development project is located on a 45-acre plot of land located at the southwest corner of West Pecan Street and Heatherwilde Boulevard.

The developers state the development will eventually feature spaces for office, retail, restaurant and civic uses.

Galindo, city of Pflugerville and Presidium officials will be on-site Oct. 26 to break ground on the project. Construction on The Elliott will take approximately 20 months, per today’s press release, and Presidium officials expect the first apartments to be ready in 2020.
