The project is the largest private investment in the city’s history at an estimated $250 million when fully completed and operational, Kyle City Manager Bryan Langley said at the groundbreaking. The development is intended to provide a location for Hays County and Kyle residents that reduces the need to shop in nearby cities. “With more than 60% of our purchases made by Kyle residents occurring outside of Hays County, this project helps protect against retail leakage and keep retail dollars local,” Flores-Cale said at the groundbreaking.
Two major road developments are underway alongside Kyle Park. The Bebee Road realignment and expansion project and Kohlers to Seton extension project will support the project and work to improve east Kyle trac ow, according to the city. “Kyle Park is positioned to serve both our residents and pass-through trac along this major corridor,” Flores-Cale said at the groundbreaking. “We’re not only tapping into local demand, we’re drawing shoppers and visitors from across the area.”
