"Where are new homes planned in the Austin metro?"

Austin Business Journal shares, "Some Austin suburbs promise new homes aplenty.

The Austin Business Journal reached out to the city of Austin and its 19 biggest suburbs to survey them on how many single-family homes they report in their development pipelines. Cities measure that differently, and the number includes counts at various stages of entitlement and construction. It's an imperfect science, but it helps gauge how cities are preparing for what's to come in their backyards.

Cities like Kyle (nearly 44,000 homes) and Georgetown (nearly 32,000) have robust pipelines. Taylor (about 8,500) and Buda (about 6,600) are next in line. Meanwhile, Cedar Park is nearing capacity and only reported 200.

Among the highest is Lockhart. The city grew…

Another big development appears to be on tap for booming Williamson County

Austin Business Journal shares, "Hundreds of acres between Hutto and Taylor are newly primed for development. 

That's because Williamson County commissioners approved a development agreement for a 343-acre municipal utility district at their Sept. 24 meeting. Little is known about development plans for the district — known as North Fork MUD — but it could bring with it a huge influx of homes.

For example, a similarly sized development, Trinity Ranch in Elgin, will have more than 1,700 homes.

Plano-based GRBK Edgewood LLC is the project developer for the North Fork MUD, and its listed address in the development agreement matches that of Plano-based Green Brick Partners Inc. (NYSE: GRBK). Green Brick didn't immediately respond to requests for…

"'Samsung effect' spurs plans for 100-acre residential development in fast-growing Taylor"

Austin Business Journal reports, "A new 100-acre residential neighborhood could be coming to Taylor, where economic growth has been explosive thanks to Samsung’s 2,000-acre, multibillion-dollar semiconductor plant that's under construction in the city.

The development, called Turner Springs, would be home to single-family and multifamily residences as well as commercial and retail properties, according to Taylor Planning & Zoning Commission documents. The commission recommended the project for approval at its July 9 meeting.

If it comes to fruition, the project would be built on two properties that have been owned by an entity known as Turner Bobby Jr Etal since 2000, according to the Williamson Central Appraisal District. Insite…

"Tesla electrifying Austin economy far and wide"

Austin Business Journal writes, "The impacts of the Tesla Inc. gigafactory in eastern Travis County can be felt all the way out to an inconspicuous warehouse in Hutto, a vast greenfield at the north end of Georgetown, a train rail line in Taylor and a sprawling industrial complex in Kyle and even a bus station in Killeen, where gigafactory workers are picked up for work each morning for a 150-mile round trip.

Those sites — and just about everywhere in between — are among the locales where the "Tesla effect" is coming to fruition, referring to how the company's headquarters relocation to Austin has spurred additional economic development in the region. That's either through direct investment by the company itself, Tesla suppliers moving here, or…

"EVK Homes plans 40-acre neighborhood in Taylor with spectrum of housing"

Austin Business Journal reports, "a couple of Taylor residents aim to bring a new subdivision to life in their town that features a variety of housing types.

Taylor-based EVK Homes LLC — owned by married couple Geraldo Reyes, a Taylor native, and Elizabeth Krueger — hopes to build a 40-acre subdivision on the northern edge of the Williamson County city. It would add 174 homes in a city expected to see tremendous growth in the coming years, in part because of the massive factory that Samsung is building there.

The development, to be called North Village, would feature single-family homes, townhouses, cottages and fourplexes for purchase, Krueger said. Additionally, some single-family homes would come with one-bedroom accessory dwelling units…
