Pecan Street • Pflugerville
Written by Sara Aleman Tuesday, 18 March 2008
Pecan Street is often thought of as the gateway to Pflugerville. The welcome sign at the corner of Pecan Street and Settlers Valley Drive was built to help visitors decrease confusion concerning where Austin ends and Pflugerville begins.
Business1. Calvary Church - The nondenominational church purchased the former site of Albertsons in April 2007 and now holds services in the 56,000 sq. ft. of space. “It was not our ultimate plan [to purchase a ready-made space], because we are limited by the look of the building. It was a major desire for us to purposefully change any outward look from Albertsons to our church,” Staff Pastor Darren Brock said. “We didn’t want to be the church in the Albertsons.”
2. Baris Pasta & Pizza - The restaurant is in the process of expanding their seating area. The new room faces Pecan Street and owners Tony and Cheryl Bardhi hope to complete the project soon.
3. Central Texas Animal Hospital - The full-service veterinary clinic offers grooming, boarding and medical care for pets. The 3,200 sq. ft. animal hospital will soon add 2,800 sq. ft. of exam rooms and separate entrances for cats and dogs.
4. First Baptist Church - The church is scheduled to open its worship center at 306 South 10th Street in November. The 34,000 sq. ft. building will have a 2,000 seating capacity.
5. Pecan Street Deli - The new location, opening in the next 30 to 60 days, will seat 100 customers and include a drive-thru and salad bar.
6. Pecan Plaza - Yancey Haussman is still in the process of leasing. New tenants are Pecan Liquor, a family-owned liquor store, and Beauty Salon.
Future land use
7. Pecan Street Plaza - Pflugerville’s first modern, multi-use development plans to break ground this summer. Tentatively, the project includes a hotel and banquet center, a family health club, restaurants, cafés, 50,000 sq. ft of retail space and 300,000 sq. ft. of office space. Cid Galindo, who is heading the project, will use elements of the new urbanism trend.
8. Roemer/Haskins L.L.C. - The company is planning an L-shaped development between the CVS Pharmacy and First Texas Bank. The project will have the same façade as the nearby bank and orthodontist office. The property facing Pecan Street will be a two-story self storage space with a single-story perimeter that will stretch north 600 ft. The frontage of the property that meets up to Heatherwilde Boulevard will be 20,000 to 25,000 sq. ft. of office condo space. Developer Edd Haskins said, “All the things we look for, we found in Pflugerville.” Roemer/Haskins L.L.C. have built similar models around the nation and in nearby cities, including Great American Self Storage on RM 620 that also houses a post office drop location.
9. Pecan Street Marketplace - The Weitzman Group broke ground in August on Pecan Street Marketplace and the retail center is planned for completion by the end of April. Confirmed businesses are Starbucks and Lone Star Kolaches. The Weitzman Group is also in the process of negotiating with other service business and restaurant owners to fill in the remaining spaces.
