North Austin has been buzzing with growth, and one of its most exciting new developments is The District in Round Rock, an ambitious mixed-use project that promises to redefine what it means to live, work, and play in North Austin.
North Austin’s Rise
Pflugerville, Round Rock, and Cedar Park are three of the fastest-growing cities in America, and this rapid growth is fueled by an influx of population, rising incomes, and a deep talent pool of skilled workers. As more people and businesses relocate to the area, developments like The District are essential in supporting the region’s expanding economy – and with existing retail centers like the Domain, Round Rock Premium Outlets, Bass Pro Shops, and IKEA, North Austin residents will have everything they need just minutes from their doors.
What The District Offers
Beyond just a commercial hub, The District is intended to function as a fully integrated, sustainable community designed to meet the diverse needs of North Austin’s growing population. Here’s a glimpse of what to expect:
- Office Space: With over 3 million square feet of office space planned, The District is primed to become a magnet for businesses and tech companies looking to tap into the region’s rich talent pool.
- Luxury Apartments: The District will include over 1,600 luxury multi-family units, offering modern living spaces that cater to young professionals and families alike.
- Shopping and Hospitality: Spanning over 250,000 square feet, The District’s retail and hospitality offerings will include a mix of lifestyle stores, dining options, and boutique shops, ensuring that residents and visitors have everything they need within walking distance.
- Green Spaces: Emphasizing sustainability, The District will feature with walkable spaces and pocket parks, creating a serene environment where residents can unwind and connect with nature.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of The District’s design. The development’s first building, known as Building One, is set to achieve LEED Silver and WELL Health-Safety certifications, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility and occupant well-being. This focus on green building practices ensures that The District will not only be a place for commerce and living but also a model for sustainable development in the region.
The Road Ahead
The District’s development timeline is ambitious, with milestones set for the next 15 years. By 2026, the project aims to complete 200,000 square feet, with a total of 1 million square feet by 2029, and a grand total of 3 million square feet by 2039. Of this, approximately 600,000 square feet will be dedicated to commercial and retail space, ensuring a balanced mix of uses within the development.
A multifamily building with retail space on the ground floor will be the first to rise, setting the tone for the urban village feel that will define The District. With committed investment totaling over $500 million, the project is expected to generate more than 5,000 new jobs, further bolstering the local economy.

For those living in or considering a move to North Austin, The District represents a significant leap forward in the area’s development. Not only will it provide a wealth of new amenities and living spaces, it will also bring a significant number of job opportunities to residents in Round Rock and Pflugerville.
