Leander announces new plans for tech park development

The Leander Tech Park will feature eight buildings, totaling 270,000 square feet. Groundbreaking on the first phase of the project is set to happen later this year.

LEANDER, Texas — A piece of land in Leander is going to be turned into a development for businesses.

St. John Properties announced it acquired the 50-acre site at the southwest intersection of State Highway 29 and Kauffman Loop.

The Leander Tech Park will feature eight buildings, totaling 270,000 square feet. Groundbreaking on the first phase of the project is set to happen later this year.

Once the project is completed, it's expected to be able to support about 850 jobs.

Leander Tech Park is St. John Properties’ third development in the state and its second in Leander. The company is also behind a 35-acre development near the border of Georgetown and Round Rock called Westinghouse Crossing, a 225,000-square-foot project. Construction on that development is expected to start next month.

“We are excited to launch our third project in Williamson County in such a short amount of time. The greater Austin metropolitan region is ripe with opportunity to deliver high quality commercial product due to the strength and diversity of the business community, and population growth spurred by the area’s excellent quality of life,” Brooke Harlander, a regional partner for St. John Properties’ Austin office, said. “We appreciate the City of Leander being great partners to us through permitting on Northline and we are excited to continue that relationship with another large project in the city limits.”
