PARK HAUS Work on a new commercial property in downtown New Braunfels is slated for completion by the end of the year, according to local development rm Woolsey Design Build, which is overseeing the project. The project is located at 189 E. San Antonio St. and will replace three buildings that were located at 189, 173 and 207 E. San Antonio St. Parkhaus LLC purchased the properties in 2019, and the buildings located at 189 and 207 E. San Antonio St. were dismantled in late 2020. In December 2020, the building located at 173 E. San Antonio St. was relocated to the corner of East Coll Street and South Seguin Avenue by David Hartmann. Prior to the demolition of the two remaining buildings, crews salvaged wood beams, adobe brick and other material to be used in an educational display, according to representatives of Woolsey Design. Once complete, the new development will include several storefronts, second-story oce space and parking spaces for 60 vehicles. No potential tenants of the new retail space have been announced.

THE BLUFFS ON THE GUADALUPE After breaking ground in January, The Blus on The Guadalupe has begun releasing 23 riverfront lots for construction, according to Erin Kotzur, a spokesperson for the project. Pricing for riverfront homesites begins at $1 million, according to the release, and each site will have 120-282 feet of waterfront property. Located along FM 306 near Canyon Lake, the 155-acre community will include 211 homesites at varying sizes, a hotel, conservation land and commercial buildings. Kotzur estimates the community will be built out in three to four years, and road and utility construction is slated to begin in July. “This has been the most desired Guadalupe riverfront parcel in all of Comal County for the last 20 years, and this is a 15-year negotiation in the making,” developer Will Korioth said in a press release. The property will also oer amenities, including a natural spring swimming lagoon, a hike-and-bike trail along the Guadalupe River, kayak huts and shing access to local rainbow trout populations.
