The city of Lakeway issued in August a notice to proceed to Joe Bland Construction for infrastructure improvements as the city and developers continue work on The Square at Lakeway.
The details
The contractor started grading work for the new Main Street, which will connect Ranch Road 620 to Lohmans Crossing Road and feature a roundabout, while trenching for the underground election and gas infrastructure is also underway.
However, the project has experienced delays building a new wastewater lift station to service the mixed-use development.
Ben Gonzalez, development project manager with Legend Communities, told City Council at an August meeting that the project is still needing permit approval from Travis County Water Control and Improvement District 17. He said the water and wastewater utilities are expected to be installed this September, which would put the project on track to finish work on Main Street by the first quarter of 2027. It will also allow the development to begin providing water services to The Jovie Lakeway apartment complex and phase one of The Square.
The background
The 63-acre planned unit development, or PUD, has been in the works at 1935 Lohmans Crossing Road since the 2010s. City Council approved PUD designation for the project in 2021, allowing for a mix of residences, office and retail, a new Main Street, and publicly accessible open space at the property.
