Grow Your Wealth in a Thriving Community Destination
A Rare “Legacy” Investment Opportunity
Partnering with the city to deliver a destination that brings community together
The Roundabout in Buda
The Roundabout is a 64,276 SF Class A retail development in partnership with the City of Buda. This isn’t just another commercial property—it’s a community-focused destination featuring restaurants, entertainment venues, pickleball courts, sand volleyball, and direct connection to over a mile of walking trails that connect thousands of affluent households. With unanimous city council approval and strong municipal support, we’re creating a place where they will shop, dine, and connect.
Proven Team Filling Critical Market Need
Development team with $300M+ of development experience combined with proven restaurant and hospitality operators—bringing both real estate expertise and operational excellence. With only 1.6% retail vacancy in the market, this development addresses severe undersupply in one of Texas’s fastest-growing corridors where demand far exceeds available quality retail space.
Unanimous City Approval & Partnership
A $2.5M public-private partnership with the City of Buda includes
sales-tax sharing, abatements, and fee reimbursements—reducing risk and boosting returns.
Full support from Buda City Council and Planning & Zoning, including zoning for entertainment venues and outdoor amenities that differentiate this project. Walking trails, bridges, spots to sit and be part of the community. The trail system connects over 5,000 existing homes behind the site (median income $110K+) with 2,300 new homes coming soon just across the street—creating unprecedented walkable access.
Community-Proven Concepts
Multiple anchor tenants from established Austin operators: Moontower Saloon and Kelly’s Irish Pub team, plus Trianon Coffee & Roaster (since 1985)—businesses known for amazing food, loyal followings, and creating genuine community gathering spots.
47% of Phase 1 is already committed, with household growth exploding around the site (5,000 homes today, 3,000+ more underway).

Frequently Asked Questions
The City of Buda has provided unanimous approval through City Council and Planning & Zoning, supported special zoning for entertainment and outdoor amenities, and designed public infrastructure (park, trails) that directly connect to and benefit the development. This isn’t just standard approval—it’s active collaboration to create a community destination that serves the city’s growth vision.
This project is a Public-Private Partnership (P3), where the city and private developers collaborate to deliver community infrastructure. In our case, the City of Buda is providing three forms of financial support to make the project economically viable: property tax abatements, sales tax abatements, and city permit rebates along with mitigation items. This partnership ensures the development delivers maximum community benefit while maintaining strong investment returns.
Most retail is purely transactional—people drive in, shop, and leave. The Roundabout is a destination where people spend time: pickleball before coffee, dinner after work, weekend family activities on the trails and park. The amenities and city park connection create sustained foot traffic that benefits all tenants, not just occasional shopping trips.
Minimum investments typically range from $50,000 to $100,000 depending on the specific investment structure and how the deal is capitalized. The exact minimum for current opportunities will be outlined in the private placement memorandum we’ll review during our initial conversation.
The project has received all necessary approvals. Dirt is currently being brought to the site, with groundbreaking targeted for January 2026. Multiple anchor tenants are secured, and we’re actively leasing remaining spaces. During our call, I’ll provide detailed construction timeline, lease-up progress, expected stabilization schedule, and how that impacts your investment timing.
Investors will receive monthly cash distributions once the property is built out and tenants are in place generating rental income. You’ll also receive annual tax documents (K-1s) showing your share of income, expenses, and depreciation. At approximately 3 years post-stabilization, there will be a refinance or sale event providing an exit opportunity—investors can choose to cash out or potentially continue based on their individual goals.
Commercial real estate is a long-term investment, but this project has a defined 3-year hold to stabilization with a planned refinance or sale event at that point. While your capital is committed during the construction and lease-up phase, you’ll receive monthly cash flow distributions once tenants are in place. At the refinance/sale event, you’ll have the opportunity to exit or potentially continue based on your goals and what types of offers we are presented with.
This is a Regulation D 506(c) offering, which requires all investors to be accredited. Accredited investor status means annual income over $200K individually or $300K jointly, or net worth over $1M excluding primary residence. We’ll verify your accredited status during our initial discussion as required by SEC regulations.
Because we can be on-site in 15 minutes if there’s an issue. We know every neighborhood, have relationships with local officials and contractors, understand the micro-markets intimately, and my family lives here. When you invest with my team, you’re investing in our backyard where our reputation and our family’s future are on the line. That local accountability matters—especially for a community-focused project like this.
