SouthStar Communities Begins Construction on 70-Acre Mixed-Use Project in New Braunfels, TX

SouthStar Communities, joined by the City of New Braunfels and Comal County, broke ground on a mixed-use community, Mayfair. The 15-year project will include 6,000 residential units, 70 acres of commercial development, 120 acres of mixed-use space, and over 300 acres of public park space. The community will be split by IH35 in the heart of the fast-growing Austin to San Antonio corridor.

“We’ve been creating communities across the southern United States for over 25 years – there is nothing better than getting to work in your own backyard. We’ve been working in Comal County for over a decade and are proud to call it home for Southstar,” said Chip Mills, senior vice president of SouthStar Communities and will be overseeing the Mayfair development.

The 750 single-family homes of varied sizes have already been contracted to regional and national builders, and parcels have been committed for apartments, cluster homes and build-to-rent homes. Initial homes are anticipated to be available in summer of 2023.
