An unoccupied building at the corner of Parmer Lane and Whitestone Boulevard in Cedar Park, formerly a pharmacy, is set to be converted into an event center.
The details
The 12,000-square-foot venue, to be known as the RIA Event Center, will make use of a restored and renovated pharmacy building.
In a letter to city staff, Vincent Huebinger of development firm Vincent Gerard and Associates described a “flexible, modern venue” for “private celebrations, corporate functions and community gatherings.”

The renovations will include the addition of a greenhouse-like enclosed rooftop space, allowing attendees to experience the views from the top of the building, architect Ken Smith said.
The event center’s hours of operation are planned from 11 a.m. to midnight, Huebinger said. City Council members approved a special use permit for the event center Aug. 27.
