Persimmon Subdivision, Phase 1, Amenity Center in Buda, TX

The Persimmon Subdivision, Phase 1, Amenity Center in Buda is a privately funded renovation and alteration project valued at $7,000,000. Located at 1500 FM 967 in Hays County, the work involves the rehabilitation of two existing structures and the addition of a new community pool and common areas. The filing lists a square footage of 100 sq ft, a figure that reflects the specific scope of the registered alteration rather than the total area of the subdivision amenities.

Construction was scheduled to begin in July 2025, following the completion of plan review by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in the same month. The registered completion date on the filing is May 2026. Although this scheduled date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
