AUSTIN (KXAN) — Lockhart Independent School District will break ground on a $90 million middle school in early 2026 after it got a donation from the Red Oak Development Group.
In a news release from Red Oak Development Group, the 589-acre land is in the “interconnected community” known as Moxie. Construction of Phase One (infrastructure) will begin in fall 2025, with a grand opening set for spring 2026.
“Located just south of Austin in Lockhart, Texas, Moxie is envisioned as a playful and creative mixed-use community that is anticipated to include 2,500 homes upon completion along with an estimated 20% of the land dedicated to parks and open space,” the release said.
“We believe choosing how you live is as special as where you live, and Moxie will be a place that reflects this philosophy with a bold heart, purposeful design, and a sense of belonging built in from the start, infused with an energy and liveliness that drives everything we do and build there,” said Red Oak CEO Tom Staub in the release.
Additionally, Red Oak will launch TEACH (Teachers’ Economic Advancement through Community Homeownership), which it says is a way to help local teachers become homeowners.
Moxie’s community model is designed with an emphasis on “walkability, social wellness, and everyday joy with homes, parks, and public spaces woven together to support a vibrant, multigenerational neighborhood,” the company said.
“We’re rethinking the metrics of success,” Staub said. “If we want to build better communities, we first have to redefine what success looks like. For us, it’s about life per square foot, not just price per square foot. It’s about how people feel, how they interact, and how our built and natural environments help them thrive. Moxie is our first step toward proving that new measurements of success not only exist but can also be scaled.”
