Wilson Capital acquired The Ridge, a 1,736-acre master-planned development site near Niederwald, TX. The land was sold by Walton Global.
Planned as one of Central Texas' largest mixed-use residential communities, The Ridge will ultimately feature more than 6,200 single-family homes, a 13-acre amenity center and approximately 60 acres designated for future commercial and multifamily development. Construction on the residential component is expected to begin in late 2026, with homebuilders including First America Homes and Hakes Brothers already committed to the project.
Designed to serve the region's rapidly expanding population, the community will feature 119 acres of parks and open space, including nature trails, a community hall and a fishing camp. An additional 57 acres have been reserved for future educational facilities within Hays Consolidated Independent School District, including sites for an elementary, middle and high school.
Strategically located near State Hwy 21 and State Hwy 130, The Ridge offers convenient access to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, downtown Austin and major employment hubs, including Tesla's Gigafactory Texas and the rapidly expanding manufacturing corridor in eastern Travis County.
Newmark Director Steven Boice brokered the transaction.
According to Newmark Research, the Austin metropolitan area continues to benefit from strong economic fundamentals. The region ranked first among the nation's top 50 metropolitan areas for job growth in 2025, adding approximately 27,200 jobs – a 2.0% annual increase*. This sustained economic expansion continues to support population growth and long-term housing demand.
