For those who have not yet heard, there will be a new shopping center built in our area called “Parke 27”. This shopping center will be located on the 27 acre tract of land that is on the west side of FM 620 extending from just north of the CVS at the 2222/620 intersection all the way up to Vista Parke Dr near the Home Depot. This development is tentatively planned to have many retail and service related tenants including up to five fast food restaurants (a Chick-Fil-A is planned), an automotive tire store, a fitness center, a medical office, a day care center, a boutique style grocery store and other retail stores.

HOA designated representatives of neighborhoods such as Canyon Creek and Grandview Hills have been in active discussions since late last year with the developer, The Ferber Company Inc, the City of Austin, and TxDOT to insure that area neighborhood concerns are heard and adequately addressed on major issues such as traffic/safety and environmental impact. This project is currently in the early stages of site plan development and will not be ready for city approvals/permits for several more months.
