Columnar Breaks Ground on 620-Acre Heirloom in Georgetown
The master-planned community along Ronald Reagan Boulevard calls for about 3,000 homes, 200,000 square feet of commercial space and more than 50 acres of parks.
Columnar Holdings has broken ground on Heirloom, a 620-acre master-planned community in northwest Georgetown. The developer held a groundbreaking ceremony on Nov. 5 and announced the start of work on Nov. 9.
Heirloom sits along Ronald Reagan Boulevard and is planned for about 3,000 residential units and 200,000 square feet of commercial space. The plans include a park and greenbelt system of more than 50 acres and a trail loop of more than 4 miles, and the developer says it will preserve heritage trees on the site. Columnar expects an initial buildout of about seven years, depending on market conditions.
Development scope and approvals
"Breaking ground at Heirloom is an exciting milestone," said Logan Kimble, vice president of land operations at Columnar Holdings. The developer has not disclosed a project value or named homebuilders.
The Georgetown City Council approved the project's planned unit development and the annexation of the land in 2025. The first reading of the PUD passed 6 to 1 in August 2025. The PUD caps the community at 3,600 units and requires at least 48 acres of parkland and at least 200,000 square feet of commercial space. It sets aside 87 acres for commercial and multifamily uses arranged around a main street, including a site for destination retail.
Housing, public facilities and road access
Plans call for a housing mix of about 2,000 single-family homes and 1,000 multifamily units, including townhomes and apartments. The plans also set aside a Georgetown ISD school site, expected to be the district's fifth high school, along with parkland and land for a future fire station.
Columnar plans to extend Parmer Ranch Boulevard from FM 2338 to Ronald Reagan Boulevard to serve the community. A public hearing on creating a public improvement district for Heirloom was scheduled in August 2025; the outcome of that hearing has not been confirmed.
Earlier marketing figures differ
Columnar is based in Dallas. Its own project page still describes Heirloom as 485 acres with 30,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial space and 60 acres of parks, figures that differ from the 620 acres and 200,000 square feet in its announcement.
