It seems like the work has stopped at the HEB site. I haven't seen any work going on for about a week. No workers on site or machines moving dirt. Wonder why the delay?

Yea there are more homes going up on Pendleton and then then some of it is zoned for commercial but this is right at the entrance of Copperfield:

I came here to ask the same question. Be a solid week since anything has moved. Strange for a project like this in a period of good weather.

Probably waiting on inspections. Just a guess though.

Or they found an old indian burial ground and we're never getting an HEB over here.

Looks like they are relocating utilities, there are a lot of moving parts to that and several agencies involved to coordinate with.

I've seen what appears to be inspectors or something similar out there several days in past week. Don't worry - HEB didn't change their mind.

As long as it's not cable TV. We wouldn't want this to turn into roundabout 2.0.

There was a truck waiting to unload concrete sewer pipe this morning. Still no one else on site.

I see the comments above about inspections and utility relocates... Both cities are usually pretty quick on inspections, especially on a high profile job. Utility relocates would typically be limited to small areas of the site and not shut the whole job down.

My suspicion is something along the lines of they had the permit to do the turn lane and ROW work but may not have the building permit.

The permit to close the right lane is still in full effect.

You get in line with the city, big, small same/same they give no priority to one job over another. Utility relocates are at Boonville and Green Valley so a good portion of the property affected, but that shouldn't effect the job much

My suspicion is something along the lines of they had the permit to do the turn lane and ROW work but may not have the building permit.

They may have a site permit only at this point. Very common in construction, the plans are probably in plan review with CoB right now. Since I haven't seen the building and retail shells out for bid yet I would bet there will not be building pad and/or building construction for several months.

There were a handful of workers on site this morning when I drove by. Hopefully they're back up and running.

People are going to fall in love with this HEB every fall when students are back. I can't imagine many will make their way there.

I'm going to love it because it's directly on my way home when I need groceries. I may not love it if it screws up the traffic flow because it's directly on my way home.

So one of the things I love about HEB is they all are different in subtle and sometimes quirky ways in BCS (Home of the Flaming Bird!). Some are better at this or that than others. Any sense what if anything the "theme" of this one might be? They seem to skew toward demographics in the places they open but I confess I know little about that where this one will open.


At a minimum I'm curious if it will be a "bigger one" like Jones Crossing and Tower Point, or more scaled down.

Flaming Bird is in San Marcos too. Used to be in Kyle, too, but they took it out a few years ago. I don't know what the original store was--SoFlo Pizza is named for South Flores, the H-E-B that first had in San Antonio.

Article says "voted to close ". Was it ever closed ? If so when was it reopened? It's certainly open now and has been since the mid 90s at least.

It was definitely closed but after a successful petition by the residents of Wheeler Ridge it was upgraded and reopened in July 1990.

Since it's across the street more or less from Miramont, I wonder if they'll have a golf theme?

Only if Don approves it.

Green Valley Dr was closed from Oct. 11,1989 until July 6, 1990. https://ibb.co/whBknsgH

From the linked article reporting the closure...

"He (P.K. Imbrie) called the council members "pantywaists," for closing the road only after they learned that they could be held personally liable."
