Interesting stuff is bolded. They have been trying to sign a movie
theater for a while now… and it is still not confirmed. Brake Check???
Seriously? We have Lambs Tire and Automotive right down the road, not
sure we need another auto repair place. Sandwhich shop, pizzeria, and
oyster bar… interesting. Workout place sounds good. I hope the
restaurant that takes the pad near BBQ Outfitters is a big time
restaurant, preferably a local Keep Austin Weird type place.
Construction on High Pointe Village is
set to start this month and before breaking ground the new development
already has six tenants confirmed and is working to sign a movie
theater.
“We want to be a true entertainment destination,” said Gay Ruggiano,
commercial and leasing broker with the Kucera Companies. “We hope to
provide a beautiful gathering place for dining, entertainment, shopping
and services.”
High Pointe Village, located at 6701 RR 620 south of the FM
2222 intersection, is scheduled to go before the Austin City Council
for final site plan approval Sept. 16.
“We plan to start construction on phase I immediately after receiving construction permits,” Ruggiano said.
The developer, New Corridor Development L.P., wants to create an
“old world” look and feel to the 114,000-square-foot retail center. The
project includes 27 acres with three large pad sites and two smaller,
stand-alone sites.
“Brake Check is purchasing the southernmost pad and we have
several restaurants looking at purchasing the northern 2.8 acre pad 1-A
next to BBQ Outfitters that sits high on the site with gorgeous views
to the west and south,” Ruggiano said.
Phase I will begin with infrastructure work including streets,
parking and water lines and construction of two of the three main
buildings. The two buildings combined will equal roughly
48,500-square-feet of retail space.
High Pointe has already signed several tenants in the center
include an athletic training center, a sandwich shop, pizzeria, oyster
bar, nail salon and spa, and gift shop.
“We’re in negotiations with several other businesses that we believe
will complement the tenant mix and support the neighborhoods with the
goods and services they need,” Ruggiano said.
Construction on the largest building in the back of the property
will not start until there is a commitment from a tenant. They are
targeting a movie theater and, once secured, the building is expected
to be 40,000 to 50,000-square-feet.
“We have not signed our anchor tenant for that space
but are working closely with a 12- to 14-screen stadium-seat movie
theater which is highly desired by the Steiner Ranch and River Place
residents,” Ruggiano said. There are few family entertainment options
along those lines for a 10-mile radius, she added.
High Pointe will be in a “V” shape with an interior parking lot. It will have a circular flow of traffic.
The center will also have two entrances onto 620 with a controlled traffic light at its southern entrance.
Project owners have dedicated 30 acres to wildlife and the environment to the south, toward Steiner Ranch.
Ruggiano wants to meet market demands in the Four Points area. “If
there’s a business you’d like to see in our project please give me a
call,” she said.
