RedLeaf is proud to announce that we have broken ground on The Bell District — a 50-acre, walkable, mixed-use development and signature destination in the heart of Cedar Park that is scheduled to open its first phase in 2024.
Located along Bell Boulevard between Buttercup Creek Boulevard and Park Street, The Bell District will celebrate the best of Cedar Park with restaurants and retailers, high-density residential, offices, 16 acres of park, greenspace and trails, and a new City of Cedar Park Public Library.
Planning for the Bell District began in 2014, when the City of Cedar Park launched a robust public engagement campaign to develop a community vision for the revitalization of the city-owned property. In February 2020, the City signed a 20-year master development agreement with RedLeaf to lead the public-private project.
Important Milestones Reached
In the last year, the City completed the re-alignment of Bell Boulevard, improving safety and freeing up more land for development in the district.
During this time, RedLeaf worked closely with the City to design, plat and secure permits for the first phase of construction — a year-long project now underway to install the streets, underground utilities and other critical infrastructure needed to support walkable, mixed-use urban development over the coming years.
Design work on the new City of Cedar Park Public Library wrapped up this summer and the City is preparing to start construction.
RedLeaf commissioned a series of pop up murals on buildings at the intersection of Bell Boulevard and W Park Street to mark the groundbreaking milestone and enhance the corridor while phase one is under construction.
Looking Ahead
RedLeaf will begin building The Bell District’s first residences, retail and restaurant spaces next summer, as well as the district’s first parking garage. This first mixed-use block in The Bell District will open at the same time as many of the district’s unique public amenities, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024:
-
The City of Cedar Park Library — a multistory community space is scheduled to break ground by the end of the year.
-
The Backyard at Bell — a central lawn and activity center nestled between shops, restaurant patios and the new library.
-
Bell Park — parkland and trails along Cluck Creek and a spring-fed pond, framing the southern and western borders of The Bell District. This City project will break ground about a year from now.
