Why Kyle?

Twenty years ago, standing at the corner of I-35 & FM 1626, you would have seen only cow pastures as far as the eye could see. Kyle did not even have a grocery store. For many years our city was growing, but we were at most a bedroom community to Austin. But now that all has changed. Within an extremely short period of time, Kyle has undergone a dramatic transformation, thanks to investment and commitment from commercial businesses and developers. 

Today, Kyle has approximately 2.5 million square feet of retail/mixed use space currently at the intersection of I-35 and FM 1626 alone.  There is an additional 900,000 square feet at FM 1626 and Kohlers Crossing and an additional 800,000 square feet of retail/mixed use space at the Dry River District at Exit 215 among several other planned developments. 

The City of Kyle is poised to be the largest city in Hays County. Our population multiplied many times over since the 2000 census from 5,000 citizens to over 56,500. Several factors prove the area is very progressive, including transportation, utility and water plans, access, and construction. The City of Kyle is currently undergoing major infrastructure improvements and with an average 22% yearly sales tax increase, the city is continually reinvesting in its future.
