New mixed-use center in Atascocita's The Groves takes shape with retail and apartments
 
A new mixed-use development called The Market at The Groves is being built in Atascocita by developer Read King, featuring a 336-unit apartment complex and four retail buildings adjacent to an existing H-E-B. The project is located at the intersection of Woodland Hills Drive and Madera Run Parkway and will include a clubhouse, resort-style pool, and pickleball court. The new development is expected to be a major hub for the community, providing both residential and commercial options.
The Market at The Groves
Location: Woodland Hills Drive and Madera Run Parkway in The Groves neighborhood, Atascocita.
Apartments: A 336-unit apartment complex is under construction by Read King, featuring 12 three-story buildings, a clubhouse, and a resort-style pool with a cabana.
Retail: Four separate retail buildings are being constructed for speculative use, including space for restaurants, offices, and retail tenants.
Amenities: The development will include a clubhouse, a resort-style pool, a pickleball court, and detached garages for the apartments.
Anchors: The project is located next to an existing H-E-B, which opened in March 2024, and is expected to create a central hub for residents.
Community impact
The new development will provide additional shopping and housing options in Atascocita.
It is expected to be a major commercial center for the community, complementing the adjacent Starwood Land's Balmoral master-planned community.
The project is expected to benefit from the nearby $6.5 billion Eli Lilly plant, making it an attractive location for new residents and businesses.

Wow. I'm sure they will do a good job with this but more apartments? Wow. There are times when I've missed the area but holy toledo! That's a lot of population density with those apartments.

I'm just waiting on Torchy's Tacos to open up so I can spend money I don't really have to spend.
 
Whataburger, Chipotle, and two other places have popped up since I learned a Torchy's was going up. Emoticon

susanbanthony : Balmoral has so much trouble over there. A friend of mine moved there and she didn't stay six months and sold her house and got out and that was right after it was first developed. And now it's just terrible she said. Her neighbor's been trying to sell her house for almost a year now and nobody wants to buy it. She said the teens there go crazy. Always trouble

Maxsmom :
We looked at a house in Balmoral and seriously considered it. So glad we took a pass. I had the thought that the big "lagoon" (pool) would attract all of the partiers. I was right, apparently. I really thought the pool was super cool but then realized that it would be a neighborhood that would attract people that wanted to be on a never-ending beach trip. I like the beach but . . . Anyhoo, I also had concerns about the HOA fees not being sufficient to maintain the "lagoon" as it ages. I suspect it will be a major mess when pumps have to be replaced, pool has to be resurfaced, etc.

RajunCajun : You were so smart. It attracts teen party goers.

Maxsmom : That's what I suspected. And how could you really complain to law enforcement if they are just out enjoying the "lagoon"? I had also heard that they sell passes to those who do not live there. Totally not interest in that. Not sure if they still do this, but I wanted just a pool in the hood for residents and guests only. The Groves pool was really much too small for a size of the hood but I'd rather put up with that then a bunch of people carrying on at all hours of the day and night.

RajunCajun : Right. Balmoral has been on the news quite a few times for excessive amount of teens, partying, and fighting
