A new $40 million planned development that would include independent living and assisted living units is another step closer to becoming a reality after the Horseshoe Bay City Council voted Tuesday afternoon to grant rezoning and variance requests to the project developer, Mike Walsh of Lavaca Financial Corporation.
The Villages of Sienna Grove will be built on a 13.96-acre tract in The Parks at Horseshoe Bay off Ranch to Market Road 2147, not far from Texas 71 and across from Bay Country subdivision.
It will be comprised of three buildings — a three-story building of 71 independent living units, a two-story building of 46 assisted living units and a one-story building of 38 memory care units — in addition to up to 16 duplex “casitas.”
