Texas Mixed-Use Developers: Named Firms, Projects and Approval Conditions From Recent Hearings

Who is building mixed-use projects in Texas right now? Our hearing record for June 11 through October 31, 2026 includes these four firms that took mixed-use requests to a vote: Silverfin Land Development in College Station, Boykin Land Company in Fort Worth, and Stillwater Capital and Setback Partners in Mansfield. This article covers those four. It is not a ranking and not a complete list of Texas developers.

The firm names tell you who is active. The votes and their conditions tell you what each firm can actually build, and when. Two of the projects below reached final approval. One has a recommendation to council, and one passed a first reading and then had its final reading tabled. That difference matters if you plan to buy, lend or compete near any of these sites.

Silverfin Land Development: Savannah Oaks, College Station

Savannah Oaks is a tract of more than 1,200 acres in south College Station between the Pebble Creek and Southern Point subdivisions, with most access from State Highway 6 South. The applicant's president described Silverfin as a boutique land development firm with offices in Corpus Christi, San Antonio and College Station.

The Planning and Zoning Commission took it up on October 15. Two items went to a vote: a comprehensive plan amendment and the rezoning. Both passed unanimously. Staff told the commission that, to offset the modifications Silverfin requested, the applicant offered a list of community benefits. These included larger and more heavily planted landscape buffers, more landscape points, the NRA standards on commercial facades, a ban on internally illuminated cabinet signs, native canopy trees, smart irrigation controllers in common areas and open spaces, and more bike parking than the standard requires.

City Council voted on October 22. Item 9.3 amended the thoroughfare plan and the active transportation master plan for Savannah Oaks. Item 9.4 was the PDD and PMUD zoning. Both carried unanimously. The Savannah Oaks project page holds both hearings.

Boykin Land Company: 1000 North Henderson Street, Fort Worth

Case ZC-26-124 came before the Fort Worth Zoning Commission on October 14. The applicants were read into the record as S.G. Bailey, LLC, J.G. McMahon, LLC and Boykin Land Company. The request would move the site from PIN3, Panther Island Neighborhood 3, to a planned development for all uses in MU-2 high intensity mixed use.

The proposed standards were specific. They allowed a maximum building height of 20 stories and a maximum 75-foot front yard setback. One-story buildings were allowed only if none was larger than 10,000 square feet and all of them together did not exceed 45,000 square feet. Surface parking up to 60 feet deep was allowed between buildings and Henderson Street. A site plan waiver was requested.

During the hearing a commissioner asked about excluding a taxidermist use, and the applicant agreed. The motion recommended approval of the request as written with taxidermist shop excluded as a permitted use. It passed 11-0. This was a recommendation to City Council, not a final approval, and the project page lists it that way.

Stillwater Capital: The Canals, Mansfield

The Canals is a request by Stillwater Capital, Inc. to rezone 153.073 acres from one planned development district to another for commercial, residential and institutional uses. The site is bounded by East Broad Street, Matlock Road, Heritage Parkway and Regency Parkway. The zoning case number is 24-0162.

Staff walked the Mansfield City Council through the history on October 12. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a two-part hearing on July 28 and August 6 and recommended approval 5-0-0, subject to continued refinement. Council's first reading was tabled to August 24, and the applicant then asked to table it again to October 12.

On October 12 council approved the first reading 6-0. The motion carried an understanding that city staff and Stillwater would work together to resolve the concerns expressed by staff and reach a mutually agreeable MDA.

The second and final reading came up at the October 26 council meeting. The applicant asked to table it, and council voted 7-0 to table the item to the next regular meeting in November, which the mover said he believed was November 9. The stated reason was to make sure the zoning and the concurrent master development agreement carry consistent terms, and that the public can see those documents before the next meeting. As of October 31, the Canals had passed first reading only. The project page tracks the case.

Setback Partners: the amended SOMA plan, Mansfield

On October 26 the Mansfield City Council considered an amendment to its development plan with Setback Partners, LTD. The plan covers about 36.391 acres at the southwest corner of FM 917 and Klein Tools Boulevard, east and south of South 2nd Avenue.

Staff described three changes from the plan council approved in April 2024. The applicant removed 6.6 acres north of Klein Tools Boulevard while keeping the 65,000 square foot commercial commitment. It consolidated three phases into two. And it carried forward a phasing trigger: no residential building permit in phase two until 15,000 square feet of entertainment establishment or district commons has a certificate of occupancy and 25,000 square feet of commercial is built. Staff said that moves 15,000 square feet of commercial earlier than the 2024 plan required. Staff also said that, even with approval, the project was still about a year from any dirt moving.

The Development Review Committee recommended approval. Council approved the amendment 7-0. See the project page for the hearing.

What these records tell a buyer or competitor

Each of these votes came with obligations. Some are written restrictions on use, like the excluded taxidermist shop. Others are phasing triggers, like the SOMA commercial thresholds, or negotiated benefits, like Savannah Oaks' buffers and signage limits. Those terms shape what can be built next to the site and in what order.

The status label matters as much as the vote count. The Fort Worth vote recommends approval to council. The Canals passed first reading, and its final reading was tabled while the development agreement terms are confirmed. Savannah Oaks and the SOMA amendment are the two final approvals here. For comparison, the Texas mixed-use projects page lists other covered projects in the state.
