Some details
The project is being developed in two phases by property owner Joseph Phillips—whose family has owned it since 1993.
J.D. Sanford, the broker on the project, said in an email to Community Impact that the development will include an AutoZone and a Spec’s Wines, Spirits & Finer Food.
“We hope to have AutoZone and Spec’s open for business by Thanksgiving 2026,” Sanford said in the email.
Why it matters
Kyle City Limits will create at least 200 jobs and have 25,000 to 35,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, according to a news release from Hays County Economic Development Partnership, or HCEDP.
HCEDP is a nonprofit public-private partnership that serves as the regional economic development organization for the city of
San Marcos, and Hays and Caldwell Counties.
“This project is about more than retail; it’s about legacy and community,” Phillips said in the release.
There will be an AutoZone and Spec’s Wines, Spirits & Finer Food, J.D. Sanford, the broker on the project, said in an email to Community Impact.
“We hope to have AutoZone and Spec’s open for business by Thanksgiving 2026,” Sanford said in the email.
The remaining 3 acres will be ground leased in three separate pads. Phillips intends to fill the remaining acreage with restaurants and office space, Sanford said in the email.
