One of Austin’s most active developers is in the early
stages of turning 37 acres near Lakeline Mall into a shopping center. The property at the southwest corner of U.S. Highway 183 and South Lakeline Boulevard is under contract by Texas-based developer Barshop & Oles Co. Developers said they are close to submitting a formal design to the city of Austin, and they expect to close on the land in about four months.
H.E. Butt Grocery Co. opened its second store in 
New Braunfels. The 88,000-square-foot grocery store will anchor the new WestPointe Village Shopping Center developed by Barshop & Oles Co. Once fully staffed, the HEB will employ more than 250 people. It will include a healthy living department with organic produce, as well as specialty cheese and wine departments and a tortilleria. The San Antonio-based grocer runs more than 300 locations in Texas and Mexico.

Construction began Thursday at the Westpointe Village shopping center — soon to be home to the city’s second H-E-B. Perched on the southwest corner of Loop 337 and State Highway 46, developers said the future grocery store and retail center could welcome shoppers by late summer or early fall 2010. We are really excited about the project,” said Wade McGinnis, vice president of shopping center developer Barshop and Oles. “We really see it as a regional store that’s going to benefit not only New Braunfels, but also people in western Comal County.”
