crazyt Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 from nextdoor: Champion tract 1A is up for sale again....Urgent. The Champions are back at it again! The 9 acres between The Gables (on the south), Winterberry (on the north), 360(east) and Jester (west). We have met with the seller who is anxious to get rid of it and has offered to sell it to the Jester residents...asking price is $500,000. This what we know: The last Champion sister has died(101) and property tax basis will change, the family is trying to divest itself of all land holdings (per seller), access to this tract is very problematic (legal access is from 360 by temple, there is also a restricted overlay through the Gables roadways...which is not ideal! A developer would love to ingress from Winterberry), tract is zoned for 6 single family homes but the vision is for multi family/commercial. Residents on Winterberry are brainstorming for solutions and one would be for the land to become a Jester HOA hiking trail. Yes, the HOA would have to buy it and yes there would have to be a one time HOA assessment and residence donations to pay for it. Winterberry residents are willing to shoulder a good part of the financial burden for the greater good of our neighborhood. Please realize, if we don’t act it is too valuable to go on undeveloped. Ingress from Winterberry or through the Gables will yield the same result: construction/resident traffic through Lakewood, Beauford, Jester and any off streets. This is an informal investigation to gauge the interest for this project before it is presented to the HOA. Please comment or 👍. I know there are a lot of questions about this. If anyone knows who our President is will you please let me know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 is this related to something we're not supposed to talk about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlikesbikes Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'm also confused. I live in Courtyard and was under the impression that Champions 4 was already bought and sold and on the way to being a hotel or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Seriously, look at that tract of land. I am not sure anyone is going to build on it. It's like 100' wide and a half mile long. What do you put on it? A spaghetti factory? A ladder factory? Basically this is too steep to put a road up (there are some adjoining tracts...) and it looks like it was carved up for some type of utility or pipeline easement if you asked me.

The Tip Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Ugh! Not another spaghetti factory! This town is going to shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlikesbikes Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 200 ft wide. At the middle there is a 3.4ac polygon that could be built. The stuff they are managing the cram in all along the non BCP lands is silly. This could possibly be a condo community. Lots of earth work, and in GCW habitat zone, but buildable if you have the will and the $. Even better would be for a developer or COA to buy it for BCP offsets. As the city grows and this area (my backyard) builds out, I am generally happy with the land grab that BCP became. I look at south of the river on 360 and imagine every bit of green getting built up. It already is, but it will build up even more. Sorry we lost Forest Ridge, glad it will stay green and undeveloped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 14 years ago it was a hike just to get gas out here, and night skies were relatively dark. Now I can walk to Costco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the skinny 1A piece that gave me grief, but the other bigger 2,3,5 tracts (that may have already sold). -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrx24 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Well, this explains the viewing tower at the top of Jester. Usually, viewing towers of that sort are used to show view of a two story home. Most likely that parcel is being marketed for a single residence. Many of the stringent regulations related to commercial development (e.g. multi-family residential) would not come into play, so permitting "should" be less complicated. That's a lot of land though for a single home. Those parcels are now owned by BCP I, LLC, according to TCAD's website. Regardless, its looking like the Jester/Buda trail network is about to be bisected in the "near" future. That would be terribly unfortunate.

That would be terribly unfortunate. A few months ago while riding over there I bumped into the property owner as he was putting up that tower. In its site development plan it's platted for multiple lots, but he was hoping it would get bought by a single buyer who would put a single property on it. However the price he's asking and the fact that it is only accessible via an easement through the apartment complex makes me question the likelihood of that. I don't see someone spending that much money to then have to drive in and out of an apartment complex every time they leave their house. Interestingly the same guy owns the area near slice of pie which is also in the process of significant cedar removal to open it up. That one he's expecting to go commercial. I think he's a little late to the real estate party and may not see the level of fervor he would have seen if he had been marketing these harder a year ago. For the pie parcel I'm just mad they keep stacking cedar cuts across the trail, seriously just stack that s*** 3 ft further over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but he might be early to the fire sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
