What in Blue Blazes Dripping Springs?

​​​​​​​​DRIPPING SPRINGS – A substantial piece of land is beginning its transformation into a 35-acre mixed-use center by developer Blue Blazes Development LLC.

Contractors have completed site preparation and infrastructure upgrades at 1601 E US Hwy 290 for a project named Blue Blazes Ranch.

The development could host an 83-room hotel, stores, medical clinics, office space and commercial businesses.

“The word ‘mixed use’ is what we can adapt to and what we ultimately will be,” said Ryan Ridgeway, vice president of Stream Realty, who is helping the developer with the project.

“We’re a non-traditional developer so we have the ability to be flexible in our transactions,” said Scott Deskins Jr., associate with Stream Realty.​
