From one of my sources… Construction should start this month. It is funded and they are selecting a general contractor now. A movie theater is still being worked on but not confirmed. Brooklyn Pie has been signed up. Also there is interest from a a spa, a Bistro, Tex Mex, sandwich/salads/soups, medical office, dance studio, and sports training. I really wish a viable Tex Mex places opens up here. I can’t understand how a place like Chuy’s, Trudy’s, or El Arroyo has not come out here and opened up a place and make a killing. To a lesser extent a Firebowl, Panera, or fast casual food place would also do really well out here. Instead they build them all at the Arboretum, Cedar Park, or down in South Austin. What is the reason? Are land prices to high here? Do retailers/restaurateurs think there is no demand?

I agree! We need more casual dining options and we are seriously lacking in the tex-mex around here. A movie theatre would be great as well. I know it will affect the traffic, but I think the trade off will be worth it.

A movie theatre *would* be nice – hubby and I hardly ever make it out to movies anymore just b/c it really isn’t very convenient. I am also surprised a Chuy’s hasn’t come out here yet… can you imagine how they could mint money just with Steiner and Riverplace?!

My husband and I want a Chipotle. Desperately!

Any word on this development? I’m beginning to think they have not signed enough tenants and it won’t ever happen?

Agreed. From what I hear, the land values are way too high. Current non-franchises have been holding the land for many years. Newcomers can’t justify opening on their own. We will start seeing more as more shopping strips pop up. I myself would not mind having an Einstein Bagels store at that corner. And a Vietnamese Pho place … ; )
