The background
The project took years of discussions with Buda City Council.
When the development was under review by Buda’s City Council, residents pushed back, citing concerns over strain on infrastructure and increased traffic.
On June 18, the council voted 6-1 to approve a development agreement with MileStone Community Builders, as well as an agreement with Bailey Land Investments LP and Armburster Land Investments to annex approximately 762 acres into Buda’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
In September, the council also approved a public improvement district and a tax increment reinvestment zone for Persimmon, according to previous reporting.
Notable quote
“Since we began conceptualizing the Persimmon community, we’ve crafted every detail to benefit the growing Buda area and its future residents,” said Trisha Thacker, new home sales counselor at Persimmon, in the news release. “The Persimmon community is a response to the strong demand for additional residential homeownership opportunities south of Austin, and we look forward to seeing the neighborhood grow and come to life.”
