A major entertainment destination called The Junction is set to break ground on November 13, bringing restaurants, bars, live music, and flexible office space to the growing area between Georgetown and Round Rock. Developed by Georgetown-based Cooley Capital Companies, the six-acre project aims to fill a gap in local dining and entertainment options for the region’s expanding workforce.
Located at 210 Blue Springs Road, across from GAF Energy’s $100 million solar manufacturing plant, The Junction will feature roughly 60,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. The development sits just off Interstate 35, where more than 100,000 vehicles pass each day.
Restaurants, entertainment, and office space
All restaurant spaces at The Junction have already been leased ahead of construction. Tenants include Wholly Cow Burgers, Taconmaye, King’s Chicken Wings, DoughGo Pizza Shop, and Sweet Lemon Kitchen, along with several bar concepts. A 5,700-square-foot food hall will anchor the dining area, which will also include 8,700 square feet of outdoor patios and decks.
Beyond dining, the site will offer live entertainment, a large outdoor stage with a 20-foot viewing screen for sporting events, three lighted pickleball courts, private cabanas, and terraced turf lawns for community gatherings.
In addition to leisure spaces, The Junction will include three office buildings totaling 29,295 square feet. Each building will feature flexible suite options designed for small businesses, with move-in-ready space expected in early 2026.
Building for a growing workforce
Cooley Capital’s chief revenue officer, Matt Marshall, said the project was designed to serve the area’s rising employment base. “There are about 6,000 employees within a mile of this location, and currently there are zero food and beverage services,” he said. “We feel like, geographically, we’ve really hit the mark.”
Site work is nearly complete, with construction led by Cooley Capital and design by OPA Design Studio. The Junction’s grand opening is expected in summer 2026.
