Sixty acres.

Not another corner. A whole new block of Elgin retail.
Elgin Commons is a ±59.99-acre, 18-lot platted commercial development with 1,577 feet of frontage on US Highway 290 — the east–west spine that carries 35,780 vehicles a day between Austin and Elgin. It sits 0.6 miles west of the Walmart Supercenter and 0.9 miles west of H‑E‑B, the two stores that anchor the city’s daily shopping.
The plat delivers highway and interior pad sites from 0.8 to 3.5 acres, a 4.2-acre hotel pad, and a 31-acre second phase that could support an anchored center, destination entertainment or additional retail — served by three internal public streets and a proposed future traffic signal on US‑290. Phase 1 pads are offered for sale, individually or in combination; Phase 2 is positioned for a single developer.

Infrastructure & incentives
Backed by
the City.
An approved agreement, with roads and utilities planned behind it.
Elgin Commons is not a speculative plat waiting on infrastructure. The City of Elgin and the Elgin Economic Development Corporation have approved an economic development agreement for the project, public infrastructure funding was approved with it, and construction of the roads through the site is projected to begin in January 2027.
City water and wastewater service is planned for the site.
The City of Elgin is the wastewater provider under the plat, and the approved EDC infrastructure funding includes a wastewater line extension to the project. Detention is platted on Lot 5. Capacities and delivery dates are being confirmed.

Road construction is projected to begin in January 2027.
City construction of the public roads through Elgin Commons is projected to begin in January 2027, to deliver the platted internal street network. The date is a projection, not a guaranteed delivery schedule.
JAN 2027Projected construction start
The City and the Elgin EDC have put money behind it.
Elgin City Council unanimously approved the project’s economic development agreement on December 16, 2025. As reported, the Elgin EDC package provides up to $5 million for public infrastructure and up to $4.25 million in sales-tax grant reimbursements.

FEMA 1% annual-chance flood hazard
10-ft contour, elevation in feet
Sources: contours and parcel frame, Bastrop Central Appraisal District map exports of November 12, 2026 (BIS Consulting). Flood hazard, FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, retrieved November 12, 2026. Boundary and lots, Final Plat, Rhode Tract Subdivision (BGE, Inc.), fitted to the CAD parcel corners within about 5 ft. For information only. This exhibit is not a survey and was not prepared for legal, engineering or surveying purposes; all locations are approximate.
TopographyAbout 40 to 60 feet of rise.
The ground climbs from northwest to southeast. Contours from 510 to 550 ft cross the tract: the US‑290 pads sit at roughly 510–530 ft, and the hotel pad and Phase 2 tracts at roughly 510–550 ft. Grading needs a topographic survey and civil design.
FloodplainThe mapped hazard lies to the west.
FEMA Zones A and AE follow the creek west of the tract and cross to the north side of US‑290. As plotted here, the mapped hazard stops about 115 ft short of the west line nearest Lots 1 and 5. Plat note 2, however, says a portion of the tract lies in the flood hazard area, and the plat draws approximate 100- and 500-year lines at the west line beside Lot 5. Neither source fixes the boundary lot by lot; that needs a surveyor or engineer.
DrainageDetention is platted along the west line.
Lot 5 (1.790 ac) is platted for detention, privately owned and maintained per plat notes 13 and 16. Capacity, construction status and any on-lot requirements are to be confirmed with the project engineer and the City.

Why this location
Growth is
the anchor.
Elgin Commons sits where the three things retailers underwrite already overlap: a trade area of nearly 54,000 people growing 4% a year, family households that own their homes and earn six-figure average incomes, and the highway that carries them to and from Austin every day. The figures below are all measured inside a 15-minute drive of the site.
A small city already lives within fifteen minutes.
The 15-minute trade area holds 53,950 residents today, up 38% since the 2020 Census.

The retail gap
The spending is here.
The stores are not.
Three kinds of evidence sit behind that headline, and they carry different weight. Modeled spending shows what trade-area households can support. A store-by-store inventory shows which national formats are missing today. How much of that spending currently leaves the trade area has not yet been measured.

Market leakage

What the evidence supports today: households with the modeled spending capacity for these categories, and no national operator found in them within five miles.

The region
Growth on every side.
The next stop on the US‑290 corridor.
Retail development has followed rooftops east from Austin along US‑290. Manor, ten miles west of the site, has added thousands of residents and a new anchored shopping center since 2020. Elgin is the next city out, with its own 37% population growth and an established Walmart and H‑E‑B node. Elgin Commons offers sixty platted acres on the highway for the corridor’s next stage of commercial growth.
