The project, developed by Oryx Land Holding LLC, represents a significant addition to the local commercial landscape with an estimated cost of $20,000,000.

Project Scope and Design
LA Architects, LLC serves as the design firm of record for this 300,000 sq ft retail space. The firm has registered six other TDLR projects in the state, including developments in Liberty Hill and Austin, with a combined value of $7,065,000. For Headwaters East, the cost per square foot is calculated at $67, which is below the Hays County median of $115 per square foot for similar new construction filings. Despite the lower unit cost, the total estimated cost of $20,000,000 places this project in the top quarter of registered construction costs in the county, significantly exceeding the median estimated cost of $950,000.
The construction schedule spans a period of 578 days, from a start date of January 2027 to a completion date of August 2028. This build window is longer than the county median of 274 days for new construction projects, reflecting the scale of the 300,000 sq ft facility. Mark S Robinson is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing, ensuring compliance with state standards during the build-out.
