New 101-acre retail hub breaks ground in Kyle

Residents and commuters along the stretch of I-35 between Austin and San Antonio will see new construction at the northeast corner of Bebee Road. The project, known as Kyle Park, has begun its first phase of building work.

Transwestern Investments and NewQuest are developing the 101-acre site. The initial focus is a regional lifestyle center featuring 412,588 square feet of retail space. The layout includes big box stores, inline shops, and freestanding structures. A press release states that the retail component will serve as the central aspect of the development.

Several major brands have already signed leases for the space. Confirmed tenants include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Burlington, HomeGoods, ULTA Beauty, TJ Maxx, Barnes & Noble, Boot Barn, and EOS Fitness. The developers report that the merchandising portion is largely leased.

Beyond the stores, the master plan includes a multi-family residential component that will be built in a separate phase. The site also features a trail network spanning more than 50 miles around the town. This network provides sidewalks and golf cart access to connect the area.

Renderings of the project show a town square design with a central gathering area. The visuals include water features, a mural, and extensive landscaping. The residential units are designed to overlook the retail and dining sections as well as adjacent green space.

Transwestern partner William Duncan described the site as a rare opportunity to address the needs of a fast-growing region. He noted that NewQuest helped bring the retail vision to life. Duncan expressed confidence in the long-term potential of the I-35 corridor as Kyle attracts new residents and businesses.
