Verde Vista Road Opens to Ease Traffic and Boost Local Economy
As the growth on Williams Drive to Ronald Reagan Boulevard is not expected to slow down anytime soon, the addition of Verde Vista Road is anticipated to alleviate traffic on the northwest side of Georgetown. On April 12, developers and city leaders gathered to celebrate the opening of Verde Vista at Williams Drive near H-E-B and the coming Sprout’s Farmers Market just before Woodlake Drive. “This connection to Williams Drive will be a huge help for traffic in this high-traveled area of Williams Drive. It allows direct access for the adjoining neighborhoods as well as travelers on Williams to Verde Vista Commercial Park,” Savvy Development COO Travis Wilkes says.
Mayor Josh Schroeder adds, “We’re really excited to see this project get started. I think it’s going to include some great amenities for this side of town – restaurants and shops – so we’re very excited about it.”
Several businesses set to open at the park include Spec’s Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods, and fast casual restaurant chain Culver’s. “We’re excited to be here, to be one of the only food options in the area that has our type of menu,” Culver’s franchise owner Jennifer Suplita says. “We’re not just fast casual; we have fish dinners, pot roast dinners, and items like corned beef sandwiches – things you don’t see at a typical fast food restaurant.”
Savvy Development also plans to add retail, restaurants, a fitness facility, and office space to include medical and professional services to Verde Vista Commercial Park. Novak Development is building a 200+ unit multi-family community on adjacent land purchased from Savvy Development.
Culver’s is estimated to be complete in October and Novak’s new community is expected to break ground in mid-2024.
Savvy Development is a new locally owned firm with multiple residential and commercial properties in various stages of development. CEO Ken Schiller says, “We look forward to partnering with the city of Georgetown and our fellow neighbors for years to come. We are residents of Georgetown and have a vested interest in our future.”
