The conceptual master plan for Monarch Ridge, a 309-plus-acre community on Texas 71 in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Horseshoe Bay.

(MARBLE FALLS, TX) — Monarch Ridge, a master-planned, 309-plus-acre community on Texas 71, was welcomed to the Texas Hill Country by the Horseshoe Bay City Council, which approved the development at a meeting Tuesday, Aug. 30. The first large development in Horseshoe Bay in years, Monarch Ridge is the work of Houston-based Aqu Capital. Headed by President Srinivasa Gogineni of Houston, the company has years of
experience in the industry.

With wide-open views of the Hill Country and Lake LBJ, Monarch Ridge has devoted over 43 acres to open space. Amenities include a vast network of walking trails; a six-hole, par-3 Heritage Golf Garden; a 5-acre amenity
center; and numerous parks and water features — all designed to complement and enhance the surrounding countryside.

Site plans include 45- and 55-foot garden home/casita lots and one-half-acre estate home lots, along with 15 acres zoned neighborhood commercial.

It is ideally situated between Horseshoe Bay and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Marble Falls and offers easy access to Austin, just a short drive east on Texas 71, and to San Antonio, a quick trip south on U.S. 281.

“Monarch Ridge is well positioned for easy country living with the ease of commuting,” Gogineni said. “I thought this would be the perfect location to bring to life a community I can also call my home.”

Based out of the Houston area, the developers are working closely with local land planner Roy Bechtol of Planned Environments LLC and local engineer Tony Plumlee of Willis Engineering. Rounding out the team are
Prabha Cinclair with Miklos Cinclair PLLC as development counsel and Patrick Bourne of Sundance Analytics as PID consultant. Zina Rodenbeck with Zina & Co. Real Estate of Marble Falls is the chosen real estate broker. The approved builder list is in the development stages as Builders are currently being interviewed. For additional information, contact Zina Rodenbeck directly at 830-265-0310.

Palladius Capital Management, a vertically-integrated real estate investment manager focused on pursuing multifamily, student housing, hospitality and select thematic investment strategies, announced the acquisition of Citizen House Kyle, a 342-unit Class-A multifamily asset in the high-growth South Austin suburb of Kyle, Texas.

Located along the I-35 Innovation Corridor, Citizen House Kyle was completed in 2022 and is part of the larger Dry River District, a 65-acre mixed-use community being developed by Endeavor that includes multifamily, medical and retail space. The property offers luxury one- and two-bedroom units and an array of amenities, including a resort-style pool, resident clubhouse, high-tech fitness center, outdoor lounge, and co-working space.

Chexal and Director of Investments Nick Maupin, who led the Citizen House Kyle transaction, as well as the rest of the Palladius team have significant experience investing along the Innovation Corridor, having deployed more than $350 million across value-add and core-plus rental housing in this region since 2014. The firm believes the explosive growth from the corridor’s main metros will continue to spill over into surrounding areas like Kyle, which has seen its population increase over 85 percent since 2010. Further demonstrating the area’s strong fundamentals, Hays County – where Kyle is located – was ranked as the second fastest growing large county in the country according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

The Innovation Corridor’s growing population has led to increased demand for high-quality rental housing like Citizen House Kyle as the prices for single-family homes in the area continue to rise. Citizen House Kyle is located 15 minutes from Austin’s central business district and 15 minutes from San Marcos – two major employment centers that are home to companies like Amazon, Tesla, Seton Medical, HBO, Best Buy and H-E-B. The property is within walking distance of over 300,000 square feet of retail space, including a Starbucks, Home Depot, Costco (under construction), a variety of dining options, and Evo Entertainment, a 75,000-square-foot entertainment center with eleven screens, a 14-lane bowling alley, and an arcade.

GenCap Partners, Inc. expands its Austin real estate investment portfolio with the acquisition of 26 acres of the Manor Crossing mixed-use development in Manor, Texas to build a 2-phase, 586-unit apartment community. The new project, The Park at Manor Crossing, will be located on the northwest corner of SH290 and FM973 within the mixed-use Manor Crossing Development, which will include a grocery anchor and other national retailers. The site is located within a convenient commute to expanding tech companies in the East Austin area such as Tesla and Samsung.

The first 301-unit phase of The Park at Manor Crossing is anticipated to begin construction by the 4th quarter of 2022. Phase II will include an additional 285 homes with construction commencement targeted for the 4th quarter of 2024 and move-ins by the summer of 2026.

“We’re excited to be a part of this well-timed, master-planned development in Manor, one of the fastest growing cities in Texas. Housing in the Manor area of town is sorely needed as many new residents are moving to this submarket for the fast-growing job market driven by the relocation of large employers nearby. We plan to be one of the premier housing options for these new residents, as our project will be among the most attractive and highly amenitized in the market,” says David Castilla, CEO of GenCap Partners, Inc. “We are designing one of our newer product mixes of traditional multifamily homes, but will also offer residents townhomes and other larger units that are popular as single-family home prices have made home ownership unattainable for many.”

The Park at Manor Crossing community will be built to the National Green Building Standard Bronze certification level. The design of the community also seeks to integrate foot and bike traffic within the master-planned development. When complete, the surrounding master-planned development will showcase over 200,000 square feet of commercial space, including a grocery store, retail and restaurants, and even a new K-8 school being built by the Manor Independent School District. The project will include scenic walking paths around two large water features with fountains as well as practical pedestrian paths connecting the community to the new school and retail areas.

With the development’s proximity to Highway 130, the area’s key north-south thoroughfare, this commuter-friendly location is convenient to major tech giant employers such as Telsa’s $1+ billion Gigafactory to the south and Samsung’s $17 billion semiconductor plant under development to the northeast. Manor’s population is currently growing at a rate of 17% per year and has increased by 286% since the 2010 census. Based on this accelerated trajectory, Manor is poised to be one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Austin MSA area.

The Park at Manor Crossing will offer upscale studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartment homes and multilevel townhomes with den layouts. Carefully curated community amenities will include an expansive outdoor swimming pool with grilling area, alfresco dining, resident clubhouse, onsite dog park and pet spa, exquisitely landscaped courtyards, and a club-quality fitness center with cardio equipment, golf simulator, group fitness area, yoga studio, and TRX system. Residents will also enjoy access to convenient coworking spaces and a conference room, a package locker system, community-wide Wi-Fi, controlled entry and guest access, garage parking, EV-charging stations, dedicated bike storage, and opportunities for additional storage space.

Apartment interiors will be designed with modern comforts in mind, including nine-foot ceilings, wood plank-style flooring, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, pull-down faucets, kitchen islands, soft-close cabinets, in-home washers and dryers, walk-in closets, built-in shelving, USB ports, keyless entry system and smart thermostats, and additional high-end features. Bathrooms will boast single or double vanities, linen closets, soaking tubs, and walk-in showers.

The Park at Manor Crossing adds to GenCap Partners, Inc.’s growing Austin presence, as the company continues to multiply its project pipeline throughout central Texas. Currently, GenCap Partners has 1,964 units in planning or development in the Austin area.
