#ThrowbackThursday in Lake Travis: Remember Four Years Ago When …

Written by |

Once in a while it’s fun to take a look back instead of jumping ahead. Forget the latest commercial real estate rumors and ignore your inner dialogue as you drive by a construction site on FM 620 and muse, “I bet that’s gonna be a bank or a mattress store …”

Do you remember when the news of Oaks at Lakeway first started snagging headlines?

It was June 2013. That’s when we discovered a custom-designed 90k square foot H-E-B was headed our way. We knew it would be big and fab-u-lous, which it is. The only thing we’re wondering is where is our nifty golden sailboat sculpture from the rendering above? I mean, who doesn’t appreciate a flaxen nautical monument?

If you’ve been living in Lake Travis for a long time, you’ll probably remember the hot topics of the day in 2013. If not, enjoy reliving some of LT’s big moments.
