Episode Details

Leander, Texas, is getting a major splash with the revived Leander Springs project — a four-acre lagoon, white sandy beaches, hotel, shops, and restaurants designed to turn the city into a Caribbean-style tourist hotspot. After a rocky start and a failed deal, new developer Ravi Katta is stepping in with a revised plan that scales back apartments, removes strict deadlines, and labels the lagoon “nonessential” to handle droughts. The first phase could be ready by 2029, using water from the Trinity Aquifer without impacting existing wells. With a swim-up bar, boardwalk dining, and a focus on community collaboration, this could be the city’s biggest economic boost yet — if it gets the green light.
