In the Junction, the mighty $34M Junction

​​​AUSTIN – A $34 million sports complex is preparing to break ground in Southwest Austin.

Junction Athletics Complex will be a 69-acre facility and strives to be a regional hub for athletes young and old.

The complex at 8921 West U.S. Hwy. 290 will house Olympic-sized pool, a warm-up pool, 12 beach volleyball courts, four grass soccer fields, 12 indoor multi-use courts and a network of wooded trails.

“The main focus is really just to (build) as big of a campus as we can, offering as many sports as we can to families in Central Texas,” said Lindsay Rosenthal, owner and co-founder of Junction Athletics.

Lindsay and her husband Mike, former NFL player, are expecting the 92,000-sf gym to be complete by mid-2019.
