Eight years of planning, one firm finally hired, and a spring 2029 opening date on the board — here's where the River Walk arts center actually stands.

Pre-design is done, the price tag landed between $75M and $100M, and council is still figuring out how to pay for it — which determines when shovels actually move.

Eight years from a master plan recommendation to a dirt lot on River Walk Drive — and the hardest part is still ahead.

The River Walk's long-awaited performing arts center has a site, a design team, and a price range. What it doesn't have yet: a construction start date.
