For years, West Buda residents have faced the same choice: drive into Austin or Kyle for dinner, errands, and weekend plans, or make do with what’s nearby. That’s about to change.

Construction is just starting to kickoff at The Roundabout in Buda, a $27 million development designed around a simple idea: give families a reason to stay local. We’re talking local restaurants with real patios. Shops owned by Texans. Over a mile of connected trails linking neighborhoods to playgrounds, green space, and places worth walking to.

This isn’t another cookie-cutter retail center. The Roundabout is a public-private partnership with the City of Buda and the Buda Economic Development Corporation—built intentionally to create a neighborhood gathering place, not just a parking lot with storefronts.

The project is already 50% leased, with a tenant mix focused on restaurants, entertainment, health and wellness, and professional services that complement each other rather than compete. Phase 1 is on track for late 2026, with full completion by the end of 2027.

West Buda is growing fast. The Roundabout is being built to grow with it.

Creating a Community Gathering Spot

We’re building The Roundabout, Buda, Texas’s vibrant new community heart – a place designed for families and individuals to connect and thrive.

This isn’t just a development; it’s a 60,000 sq ft unique retail destination and a Public-Private Partnership (P3) with the City of Buda. We’re set to fill a massive $247M+ unmet retail demand in a booming, affluent market right outside Austin. Imagine a dynamic hub featuring volleyball and pickleball courts, live music, family play areas, extensive walking trails, and multiple high-quality restaurant options!

Critically, the market fundamentals are exceptionally strong: there’s less than a 2% retail vacancy rate in the immediate Buda area, and less than 5% Austin-wide. This highlights the immense demand and scarcity of quality commercial space.

Why now? The timing is critical, and momentum is undeniable. Phase 1 breaks ground soon with permits in hand and is 50% pre-leased. Phase 2 is already 40% committed, with an additional Letter of Intent (LOI) poised to push us over 50% committed.

Our team lives and breathes this project: we’re local experts, successful restaurant and entertainment owners (we’ll even be building and managing two of The Roundabout’s anchor restaurants ourselves!), and seasoned real estate developers. We’re building for lasting value and a true community legacy.

Here is a link to a great article by Tim Derrington with Derrington Design Studios a local Austin architect designing the building concepts for the Roundabout in Buda. The article reveals how savvy developers, municipalities, and nonprofits are creating extraordinary community amenities—from mixed-use recreation hubs to cultural destinations—that neither public nor private sectors could build alone. Discover the collaborative strategies behind successful P3 projects like our 65,000-square-foot Roundabout development in Buda, and learn why these partnerships represent the most promising opportunity for lasting community impact over the next decade.
