One of the most ambitious residential developments in the queue, the 600-acre Goodwater project has seen a few tweaks here and there as work has progressed, but the overarching vision remains the same. "There's been a lot of push and shove, give and take between architects and engineers," said developer David Singleton, president of Leander-based Southwest Land Services Inc.

Goodwater could have anywhere from 5,000 to 7,500 residents and is being built just outside Georgetown's city limits.

A 600-acre mixed-use project called Goodwater is being planned on the northwest corner of Shell Road and Hwy. 195. The large development will have a small-town feel fashioned after old town Georgetown. The development will be centered around a 40-acre series of lakes and a greenbelt. Goodwater will have an 80-acre central park, tree-lined streets and will be designed with a focus on walkability. Other defining features are native trees and a town center with mixed vertical-use spaces. The first phase will be 135 acres with about 350 housing units.

GEORGETOWN - A 600-acre urban development resembling a city within a city with up to 10,000 residents is being planned just outside Georgetown's city limits. Developer David Singleton, president of Leander-based Southwest Land Services Inc., plans a project that would include thousands of homes, retail, a hotel, churches and a school. The announcement comes on the heels of other big projects in recent months, and the development could transform the city of 40,000 in northern Williamson County.

Growth was the name of the game in 2007 as many new subdivisions and retail outlets gained approval from the Georgetown City Council. Three of the more major ventures include Water Oak at San Gabriel, Goodwater and, most recently approved, Longhorn Junction.
