Long-Awaited Round Rock Development to Break Ground
Next month, construction on The District, a 66-acre project near I-35 and State Highway 45 Toll Road in Round Rock, will get underway. The project is slated to total nearly 4 million square feet, including 2 million square feet of office space, 150,000 square feet of retail space, several apartment phases totaling about 1.4 million square feet and 300,000 square feet of hotel space. Investment is expected to exceed $500 million. It’s expected to bring 5,000 jobs at full buildout in 2039.
The Austin Business Journal reports that it’s been a long time coming. The original plans were approved six years ago. Mark IV Capital is helming the project.
The March groundbreaking for The District will kick off a 12-month infrastructure construction phase for the entirety of the project, led by general contractor W.E. O’Neil Construction.
The developers then plan to launch construction of the first vertical elements and have indicated that they should be finished by early 2027.
