New Braunfels City Council members on Monday approved the Mayfair development’s Sector Plan 1.

It’s the first such site plan submitted by SouthStar Communities since the New Braunfels-based developer’s announcement of the 1,800-acre mixed-use project last year, slated to bring up to 6,000 homes, 330 acres of public parks, 70 acres of commercial property, 120 acres of mixed-use development, a 160-acre employment park and four new Comal ISD schools over a 15-year buildout.

via Community Impact Newspaper: "Mayfair, a 1,888-acre mixed-use development slated to be built over the course of 15-20 years, is on track to break ground soon as developers finalize agreements with the city and other entities.

The project, which has the potential to bring thousands of new residents to the New Braunfels area over the next 20 years, could break ground as early as the first quarter of 2022 pending the approval of a utility agreement with New Braunfels Utilities, said Thad Rutherford, CEO of SouthStar Communities, the development company behind Mayfair."
