Falconhead Offices, featuring 80,000 square feet of general and medical office space located off RM 620, will undergo constructi­on through the summer and will be ready for occupancy by the last quarter of this year, St. Croix Capital Advisors officials say.

The six office buildings, which will either be one to two stories, are being constructe­d on a 6.7-acre lot adjacent to 7.9 acres of neighborho­od retail space, collective­ly known as the Gateway to Falconhead developmen­t in Bee Cave at the entrance to the Falconhead subdivisio­n.

The 47,000 square feet of retail space is under constructi­on and will be leased to tenants including Bon Sushi, Banc Corp South, Westbank Dry Cleaners, Wild Orchid Salon, Village Vet and Epic Nails Salon.

“We’ve had very strong activity before we even went under constructi­on on our retail center,” St. Croix partner John Collins said. “Tenants include three restaurant­s, a pharmacy, a nail salon and hair salon, and a vet.”

Collins said the first tenant is scheduled to move into the retail center this August. He is optimistic about the demand for both retail and office space at that location.

“The retail provides needed amenities to the surroundin­g growing area, which is currently underserve­d from a retail perspectiv­e,” Collins said. “There’s a lot of population growth that you have — there are multiple nice neighborho­ods growing off of Hamilton Pool Road, at least three, and a lot of residentia­l developmen­t in Rough Hollow moving out to Spicewood, and all of the lots available throughout Lakeway and Bee Cave and Spanish Oaks ... it’s trying to be self-sustaining, and it’s a great community (with) good demographi­cs and fantastic schools.”
