Leander mayor announces partnership for $1B development featuring a lagoon and hotel

The proposed 78-acre mixed-use project would also include retail, restaurants and residential space.

LEANDER, Texas — Leander's mayor has announced a partnership for its $1 billion proposed development called Leander Springs. 

The 78-acre mixed-use project would be located at the southeast corner of FM 2243 and 183 and include retail, restaurants, entertainment and residential space. 

The project would also include a 4-acre crystalline lagoon that would serve as the centerpiece for more than 1 million square feet of commercial development, including a full-service hotel and conference center currently planned for the property.

“This dynamic mixed-use development is a game-changer for our community,” said Mayor Troy Hill. “Leander Springs has a phased approach that will bring in much-needed commercial development at the beginning of the project while incorporating residential uses in a proportional manner.”
