Bee Cave Brief: January 2026

Happy New Year Bee Cave! 🎉

We hope 2026 brings you good health, peace and time with loved ones. Here’s a look at what’s happening in Bee Cave this month.

Village of Spanish Oaks

There’s been a lot of buzz lately about the Village of Spanish Oaks off Highway 71. You may have noticed the construction on the 80-acre site across from McCoy’s. This project first received its zoning in 2000, it was refined through a Planned Development District in 2018 and further amended in 2020.

When complete, the development is expected to include:

A resort-style hotel and spa
A plaza with restaurants and shops
Luxury townhomes and condominiums
A New Senior Living Community

As the project progresses, the developer is asking the city for changes to the development plan. These changes include:

Relocating about 60 multi-family units to a different area within the project.
Moving a 75-foot building 20 feet closer to Highway 71.
Refining the round-about alignment.

It’s important to note the overall density of the project will not increase because of these changes.

Residents from the adjacent Homestead neighborhood shared traffic and aesthetic concerns at a recent Planning and Zoning meeting.

Another public hearing will take place during the January 13 City Council meeting.
