Round Rock gives second option to developer as rental prices drop
The details
Dushkin said city staff are using the Planned Unit Development “as a template” as the department looks at other amendments to Round Rock’s zoning, comprehensive plan and development code that staff will bring to council in the coming months. If the developer chooses to go forward with the high-density housing option, it would allow up to 375 apartment units, with up to four- and five-story tall buildings. It also allows for up to 12 townhouse units per acre on the southern portion of the property. The medium-density option would instead allow up to 285 multifamily units, with three- and four-story tall buildings. Four-story buildings could not be built closer to the southern property line than any three-story buildings.

Developers of a new housing project in Round Rock now have more options after City Council approved an amendment to a Planned Unit Development April 23. Plans are underway for a housing project on a 10-acre tract of land on East Old Settlers Boulevard, which was originally designated for commercial use on the city’s 2030 Future Land Use Map. In 2023, the city amended the map to make way for high-density multifamily housing. However, developers now have a second option to bring medium-density multifamily housing after officials said rental prices have dropped in recent years. Brad Dushkin, Round Rock Planned and Development Services director, said in 2023 the high-density option “made sense economically.”

“But since then, there’s been a building boom in multifamily,” Dushkin said. “Rents have come down drastically.” The request was submitted by law firm Armbrust & Brown on behalf of the property owner, Performance Services Real Estate.
