“[This area] has been undeveloped for forever, so everyone is really looking forward to entertainment spaces, restaurants and retailers, as well as the ... outdoor music center,” Vice President of Reger Holdings Annie Atkinson said.
Vision and purpose
The idea behind the development was to bring the conveniences of Central Austin, such as Zilker Park, to a fast-growing but underserved area.
“We have that lifestyle component here, and we’re able to offer Northeast Austin and the surrounding areas a development they don’t have right now,” Atkinson said. “It’ll be a huge accomplishment.”

Hospitality and entertainment

In terms of entertainment, a new concert venue, Center Stage at EastVillage, will debut with a weekend concert series beginning June 7. The events will be open to the public. Additionally, The Village Green, a 1.5-acre central park area, will serve as a gathering space for residents and visitors alike.
“We want [EastVillage] to be one of the funnest places to go in Austin, with the most activity and a thriving community,” said Gordon Reger, co-founder, principal and CEO of Reger Holdings. “[We’re making] it the place to live, to work, to play, to see live music, to go to a good restaurant and to hike in the park. It’s the go-to place.”
A lasting community
With its dynamic mix of residential options, robust commercial offerings, abundant green space and growing entertainment opportunities, EastVillage is designed as a long-term community and lifestyle destination, bringing the energy of downtown Austin to an area that’s ready for its own spotlight.
