Uptown ATX, Northline, and the Bell District have delivered first phases; The Row (formerly Velocity) has started; Brodie Oaks is on hold; and Pearson Ranch has shifted largely to homebuilding. This article covers where each project stands and how your business can be part of one.

1. The Two Step (Kyle)
Capella’s Project Two Step in Kyle, Texas, is a 45.2-acre mixed-use development along the IH-35 frontage road at FM 150. Plans include an outdoor amphitheater, restaurants, retail, offices, a hotel, townhomes, residential flats, and ponds.
The project also features high-end multifamily housing, a beer garden, rooftop pickleball courts, and a large pond. It integrates Kyle’s heritage with murals and monuments and offers connectivity and amenities like the Vybe Trail, ample parking, and water features for recreation.
Status: Kyle City Council approved the zoning, development agreement, and incentive agreement in June 2024, for up to 350 multifamily units, 24 townhomes, and at least 150,000 square feet of commercial and office space. We could not confirm a construction start as of fall 2026.

2. Northline (Leander)
Northline is a 116-acre development planned as Leander’s downtown, with multifamily, townhomes, retail, office, medical office, hotel, civic buildings, and condos.
Key amenities include a town square, signature parks, civic spaces with water features, playscapes, and trails.
Status: As of early 2026, 343 apartments and 25 townhomes were built, and Endeavor Real Estate Group was building the first retail phase (a grocery store and four multi-tenant retail buildings), about 70 percent preleased, with some tenants expected to open by the end of 2026. In February 2026, Leander approved an agreement with St. John Properties for a 95,000-square-foot office building, expected to finish in 2027, where the city plans to lease about 40,000 square feet for city offices. Full build-out is expected to take another 6 to 8 years.

3. The Bell District (Cedar Park)
The Bell District in Cedar Park is a mixed-use downtown district planned by the city and developer RedLeaf, with apartments, retail, townhomes, office, a culinary-forward retail strategy, and 16 acres of green space.
Status: The new Cedar Park Public Library and Bell Park opened in late 2024. In April 2026, a 194-unit apartment building wrapped around a parking deck of about 530 spaces (Bell District Block B) was filed with the state, with construction expected to start in November 2026 and finish in November 2028.

4. Uptown ATX (near the Domain)
Uptown ATX, next to the Domain, is Brandywine Realty Trust’s 66-acre, $3 billion master plan for IBM’s longtime campus in North Austin, envisioned at nearly 7 million square feet of workspace, retail, hospitality, and multifamily units, with 11 acres of green space.
Status: The first phase is complete: One Uptown, a 14-story Class A office tower of roughly 350,000 square feet, and Solaris House, a 341-unit apartment tower. In late 2025, Brandywine shifted its near-term focus from new towers to renovating existing campus buildings ahead of IBM’s planned move out in 2027. CapMetro began construction on the North Burnet/Uptown MetroRail station inside the development in November 2025.

5. Brodie Oaks (Southwest Austin)
The Brodie Oaks redevelopment near South Lamar Boulevard and Loop 360 was approved by Austin City Council in 2023 to transform 37.6 acres into a mixed-use district with 13.7 acres of open space.
The approved plan includes 1.26 million square feet of office space, 1,700 residential units, restaurants, retail shops, a grocery store, and a potential hotel.
Status: On hold. In August 2025, developer Barshop & Oles told KXAN it was moving forward very cautiously given the market, had no timeline for construction, and was not sure the plan approved by council still stood. Its partner is now Pennybacker Capital, after Lionstone Investments closed. We had not seen a construction start as of fall 2026.

6. The Row, formerly Velocity (Southeast Austin)
Presidium’s 314-acre project at the southwest corner of State Highways 71 and 130, near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and about three miles south of Tesla’s Gigafactory, was renamed The Row in December 2024. It has entitlements for about 7 million square feet, with plans for thousands of homes, retail, hotels, and about 100 acres of green space.
Status: The first phase, the 307-unit Del Via apartments, was scheduled to open in early 2025. As of late 2024, Presidium planned a next phase with a restaurant pad and 22,000 square feet of retail, followed by about 100,000 square feet of retail, an AC Hotel by Marriott, and a second apartment community of more than 300 units.
Nearby, the Texas A&M University System is building a $370 million headquarters and State Emergency Operations Center for the Texas Division of Emergency Management just east of the airport.

7. Pecan District (Pflugerville)
The Pecan District in Pflugerville, Texas, spans 45 acres. The original plan called for 1,280 multifamily units, 952,000 SF of office space, 208,000 SF of retail space, and 191,000 SF of hotel space, plus 1.77 acres of public plazas and 6 acres of green space.
Status: Presidium completed the first phase, a 272-unit apartment community, in 2020. In June 2025, Presidium told a Pflugerville city board it planned to amend the project’s zoning because the large speculative office component was hard to finance, and to focus earlier phases on retail, residential, and open space. Expect the final mix to differ from the original numbers above.

8. Pearson Ranch (Northwest Austin)
Pearson Ranch, a 156-acre site near West Parmer Lane and State Highway 45, was announced by Inspire Development in 2022 as a $2 billion mixed-use project with about 2.6 million square feet of Class A office space, 200,000 square feet of retail, restaurants, and community areas, two hotels, thousands of multifamily units, and more than 30 acres of parks.
Status: The plan has changed. In June 2026, Williamson County approved a development agreement letting homebuilder Tri Pointe Homes develop 95 of the 156 acres, with residential neighborhoods replacing much of the planned commercial space. Also in mid-2026, JPI bought 9.32 acres in Pearson Ranch for Jefferson Pearson Ranch, a 342-unit apartment community scheduled to break ground in August 2026 and finish in 2028.
