Ryan Companies US, Inc., a national commercial real estate solutions provider, recently broke ground on a 347-unit multifamily community in Leander, a northwest Austin suburb. Ryan has partnered with Cadence McShane Construction Company, Humphrey & Partners Architects, Brue Baukol Capital Partners, and First Horizon Bank to bring its first multifamily deal to the area.  
“We are pleased to introduce another exciting multifamily project to the Austin area.” commented Marcy Philips, Vice President of Real Estate Development, Ryan Companies. “Blockhouse Creek Farm will be Ryan’s 3rd project breaking ground this year in the Austin MSA, totaling over 1,000 units in the marketplace.  Leander’s strong growth has fueled much needed housing in the marketplace, and we are proud to develop a community that one is proud to call home.” 
Located off Ronald Regan Boulevard, Cadence McShane is building the new “Niles Drive” that will lead to the community. Nestled along Blockhouse Creek among picturesque heritage trees, the 488,000-square-foot development is situated on 20 acres among the existing Block House Creek with future parkland dedicated to the City of Leander designed to cover 20% of the site. 
Blockhouse Creek Farm will include two-, three-, and four-story buildings with attached garages and a mixture of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Amenities will include a fitness center, swimming pool, clubhouse with a lounge and incredible views of the natural creek area. 
“We are excited to be part of the growing communities in and around Austin, Texas, and its greater metropolitan areas,” stated Srinath Pai Kasturi, Executive Vice President of Cadence McShane Construction. “This is a special opportunity for Cadence McShane to contribute to the city of Leander and provide a place for people to live that captures the beauty of its surrounding environment.”
