New Retail & Restaurants Tracker

A $100 million, 400,000-square-foot commercial development at the junction of Liberty Hill, Leander, and Georgetown, anchored by a 176,000-square-foot Walmart Supercenter designed to match Santa Rita Ranch's architectural character. The Walmart alone is expected to bring roughly 400 jobs. Anticipated opening is 2027 — worth knowing about now, but not a near-term amenity.

Already the most built-out retail center among the tracked communities, and still adding tenants: Machi Sushi (all-you-can-eat sushi and hibachi) and Potbelly Sandwich Shop both opened in February 2026, joining First Watch and Rally House from earlier openings. This is the community amenity that's furthest from "someday" — it's functioning today.

A large-format Target — 20,000 square feet bigger than a typical location, at 148,000 total — is under construction at US 183 and Seward Junction Loop, with additional retail and service tenants (including a planned nail salon/spa) filling in around it. Most relevant to Santa Rita Ranch and Bryson residents.

Georgetown's third H-E-B opened at Parmer Ranch Marketplace (28713 Ronald Reagan Blvd.) in September 2025, anchoring the same Ronald Reagan Boulevard corridor Rancho Sienna sits on; a Whataburger followed as an in-line tenant in June 2026. Both are already open and functioning today — the more immediately useful item for a Rancho Sienna household than a project still a year out.

A new center just west of Wolf Ranch Town Center with confirmed tenants Shake Shack, Velvet Taco, Chipotle, and a Frost Bank branch; broke ground in April 2025 and was roughly 65% leased as of that date. Genuinely new construction rather than existing retail, though it sits on a separate corridor from the Ronald Reagan/Hwy 29 stretch nearer Rancho Sienna.

The 93-acre mixed-use center built into Belterra itself remains the defining amenity for both Belterra and neighboring Headwaters — grocery (H-E-B), a movie theater, and a rotating restaurant lineup residents can reach without getting on US 290. This is the rare Austin-area case where "walkable retail" in a master plan's marketing is actually true on the ground.

A new brick-and-mortar Thai restaurant from the owner of the Aroi Thai food truck that served the Belterra community for over a decade. A small addition, but a useful signal: downtown Dripping Springs' dining scene is growing independently of Belterra Village, giving residents a second real option a short drive away.

A 7,000-square-foot entertainment venue branded directly with Sunfield, featuring indoor mini-golf, golf simulators, a sports bar, a food truck, and a dog-friendly beer garden with live outdoor music. This is a genuine on-the-ground amenity addition for Sunfield residents specifically, not a broader area development that happens to be nearby.

A dining, retail, and trail-connected development in Buda, built through a public-private partnership with the city, targeting a late-2026 opening. Positioned to serve both Sunfield and Kissing Tree residents; local business groups have specifically cited it as filling a retail gap in Buda.

A 101-acre mixed-use development anchoring east Kyle with confirmed tenants including Dick's Sporting Goods, T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods, Barnes & Noble, Burlington, Raising Cane's, BJ's Brewhouse, Chili's, Dave's Hot Chicken, and a 40,000-square-foot EoS Fitness targeted for 2027. This is Kyle's largest current retail anchor and the nearest large-format shopping option for 6 Creeks, Crosswinds, and Plum Creek North residents — though it sits several miles north on the I-35 corridor, not immediately adjacent to FM 150.

Opened at 920 Kohlers Crossing, directly in the FM 150/Kohlers Crossing corridor near Plum Creek North and Crosswinds — Nashville-style hot chicken with multiple spice tiers. A small addition, but a genuine new dining option within the immediate trade area of these communities, unlike the larger Kyle Park project further north.

A 22,000-square-foot retail/restaurant development across two buildings at 20601 Hodde Lane, immediately adjacent to Blackhawk, plus an 8,000-square-foot central green space with walkable pathways. This is the most directly relevant retail project found for Blackhawk — it sits at the community's doorstep rather than just somewhere in Pflugerville. No specific tenants have been announced yet as of the most recent update, so treat this as a confirmed project to watch rather than a finished amenity.

A neighborhood café and pizzeria at Hill Country Galleria serving breakfast through dinner — coffee, donuts, Italian sandwiches, and Neapolitan-style pizza. A straightforward new dining option at the Galleria, which remains the primary retail hub near Sweetwater.

A home décor, custom furniture, and interior design storefront at Hill Country Galleria. A minor addition, not a dining destination, but a genuine new tenant at the center nearest Sweetwater.
