St Ambrose
Multifamily enabling infrastructure in Lakeway — floodplain navigation, PUD amendments, and utility coordination for a 205-unit development.
The Challenge
The primary challenge for the St. Ambrose project was the site's physical conditions, including the floodplain, steep topography, and existing natural features. These factors limited how the site could be laid out and required the design to carefully adapt to the terrain while maintaining access, infrastructure, and overall project functionality.
Client:
Stratus Properties
Project Type:
Multi-Family
Location:
Lakeway, Texas
What We Did
Led planning and coordination of enabling infrastructure, including Main Street roadway, bridge crossing, and utility systems
Managed and guided the PUD zoning process, including multiple amendments and development code strategy
Coordinated with external teams on shared infrastructure such as lift station relocation, Austin Energy, and water/wastewater systems
Addressed complex site constraints including floodplain, steep topography, and environmental features like rimrock
Outcome
Successfully phased the project to separate roadway obligations from the multifamily development
Established critical infrastructure to support a 205-unit multifamily project and future park access
Prepared the site for future development (phase two) with flexibility for alternative product types
