OUR COMMUNITIES

Discover the spirit of Areté Collective

Thomas Ranch

Austin, Texas

Project / 01

Austin continues to draw a crowd to Texas. As the master developer of Thomas Ranch, a 2,200-acre mixed-use development winding along the shores of Lake Travis, Areté Collective is reimagining Hill Country living.

The project will include up to 4,000 residential units built across unique neighborhoods and phases. Civic spaces, village amenities, lifestyle programming, and open space trails create a vibrant haven for homeowners and guests.

The signature experience of Thomas Ranch will be the private community, Loraloma. Built along the cliffside and expansive hilltop areas, a world-class resort-style community will be designed to blend full-service turnkey residential living with ecologically-minded amenities reflective of the location and seasons.

Loraloma will comprise 400 new homes and an 18-hole championship golf course by David McLay Kidd that is expected to be among Texas’s most highly-ranked new courses.
