Austin’s upward expansion comes to a halt as the city market struggles with a hangover of origin, yet the metropolitan area’s outward expansion appears to suffer the fallout from an ongoing major business assignment at Taylor.
The current multibillion-dollar construction of a chip production plant through South Korean tech conglomerate Samsung is a primary residential assignment that has won approval from the suburban city’s Planning and Zoning Commission, the Austin Business Journal reported.
The 100-acre residential development, dubbed Turner Springs, would feature 253 single-family homes of varying styles and sizes and about 700 apartments, if Insite Development gets final approval from the Taylor City Council.
Plans submitted through Insite, which hired Taylor-based Top Notch Properties to market the property, call for 47 estates, 119 houses, 29 cottages, 34 townhomes and 24 “work apartments. “There are no main points about the duration of the other categories of apartments provided.
Multifamily complexes and 24,000 square feet of “commercial housing and working” area would be distributed in the development, according to the documents filed.
The transfer would be made on land owned by an entity publicly known as Turner Bobthrough Jr Etal since 2000, according to public records. It’s on Country Road 369, just north of U. S. 79, which connects Taylor to Round Rock.
Taylor’s population is about 17,000, but officials are making a push for expansion through Samsung’s factory, which is expected to contain 2. 2 million square feet of commercial area on 2,000 acres.
Samsung caused a domino effect in the region’s commercial spaces before the trend spread to residential ones. Other corporations expanding in the big picture since Samsung announced its plans at Taylor are Wonik Materials North America, MSS International, KoMiCo Technology, Fine Semitech Corporation, EcoMicron, Hanyang Eng USA and LS Electric Company.
