Leander StationLeander Station includes a Park & Ride and is located at the northwest terminus of the
Red Line. It is at the intersection of US 183 and Metro Drive, on 14 acres owned by Capital
Metro. Just north of Old Town, the station is in close proximity to the HEB Plus! Center,
restaurants, and shops. Single-family and multi-family residential properties are nearby.
It is the center of planned transit-oriented development (TOD) in Leander; the City has
development incentives in place. Leander Station and 50 acres of privately-owned land are
both approved for mixed use retail, office, multi-family residential, public areas, structured
parking. Austin Community College (ACC)-San Gabriel Campus is in design/construction
on 100 acres adjoining the station to the east, and is expected to open in 2018. The City of
Leander, beginning work in 2017, will extend Metro Drive to Mel Mathis Boulevard, and East
Street north to Hero Way. The Standard is extending a hike/bike trail from the apartment
and ACC Campus to Leander Station in the flood plain. Capital Metro is connecting Leander
Station to ACC with a pedestrian/bike bridge connection to Mel Mathis Boulevard.
