The Buda Economic Development Corporation (Buda EDC) announced that The Roundabout in Buda, an 18-acre, nine-building community-focused development on Ranch to Market 967, will host a community shovel ceremony on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., marking a significant construction milestone. The event will be attended by developer Tim Dowling, Buda Capital Partners, Mayor Lee Urbanovsky, City Manager Micah Grau, and Buda EDC CEO Jennifer Storm.
This development, made possible through an incentive between the City of Buda and the Buda EDC, is designed to meet the growing demand for a central place where residents can connect, relax, and build community. Unlike traditional retail centers, The Roundabout is intentionally walkable, featuring a signature circular promenade that integrates retail, dining, office space, trails, patios, playgrounds, and inviting outdoor areas into a seamless, community-centric experience.
“The dirt has already started moving, but today is about the community that made this possible,” said Dowling. “It's an incentive-backed project, supported by the City of Buda and the Buda EDC.”
As Buda experiences rapid population growth, residents have expressed a strong desire for a true community gathering place. The Roundabout was created to meet that need, delivering family-focused amenities such as pickleball, volleyball, live music, and kids' play areas. “This project is a true reflection of what the people of Buda have been asking for: a place where the community can thrive,” said Jennifer Storm. “The Roundabout enhances quality of life while honoring the heritage that makes Buda special.”
Located a mile from Downtown Buda on the South edge of Austin along the I-35 corridor, The Roundabout is 51% pre-leased and will be surrounded by almost 9,000 homes. Anchors include M. McCall's Pub and a Moontower-style entertainment venue, both run by Buda Capital Partners. Future tenants La Ola Pop Shop and Trianon Coffee will serve refreshments at the ceremony.
“Buda's evolution calls for intentional spaces that bring people together, and The Roundabout development is focused on creating a community-gathering environment,” said Dowling. “At the same time, the people-forward design was intentionally created to stand the test of time. This type of multiuse destination will serve residents, visitors, and support economic growth in the City for generations to come.”
The ceremony will take place at 1141 RM 967, Buda, Texas. Members of the media are welcome. To learn more about The Roundabout in Buda, visit RoundaboutInBuda.com or contact Tim Dowling.
