Developers, city consider 140-acre mixed-use site K29 1941 Investments is working to reach an agreement with the city of Liberty Hill that will allow the development of a 140-acre mixed-use project at the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Hwy. 29. Some context Back in November, K29 1941 Investments submitted an application to the city claiming “vested rights” regarding the proposed project. Typically referred to as “grandfathering,” vested rights allows an entity to continue a develop- ment project that was adopted under a munici- pality’s previous regulations. The previous property owner entered into a development agreement with the city of Liberty Hill for the proposed project back in 2005. K29 1941 Investments took ownership of the project and property in 2021.
