Bryson bringing 1,200 homes to Leander

LEANDER – Construction has begun on Bryson, a 500-acre master-planned community near San Gabriel Pkwy. and Toll 183A.

Crescent Communities will build 1,200 single-family homes at Bryson, ranging in price from the high $200,000s to the low $400,000s.

The first homes in Bryson will be under construction by summer with move-in dates during the fall.

Home builders include David Weekley Homes, Drees Custom Homes, Grand Haven Homes and Scott Felder Homes. The site plan includes an amenity center and an additional 250 to 500 multifamily or high-density units.

Crescent purchased the property, formerly called the Villages of Messina, in early 2014.

Prior to the sale in December 2013, Leander City Council approved a set of agreements that require Crescent to contribute $1.5 million for improvements to the nearby intersection of Toll 183A and US 183.

The amenity center will open in spring 2016, and the neighborhood will be built out in about ten years.
