The Lariat at Presidio Ranch, a 312-unit luxury apartment complex at 8976 Tarter Ave, remains under construction with first units scheduled for late summer 2026. This project joins several other housing initiatives moving forward in Amarillo at the same time.

Supply Additions Across Multiple Sites

Rock Ridge, a new 1,150-home development in Potter County south of Loop 335 and north of Hester Street, is set to begin construction in summer 2026 and continue for six to seven years. Buffalo Highlands, another housing development in east Amarillo, is expected to start construction in the weeks ahead. Tecovas Terrace, a 280-unit affordable housing project on Southeast 28th Avenue in the Barrio area, received approval from the Amarillo City Council to pursue tax credit financing.

These projects increase the range of housing types available locally. The mix includes market-rate luxury units, large-scale single-family communities, and income-restricted apartments, giving buyers more choices depending on location and budget needs.

Commercial and Mixed-Use Growth Nearby

The East Gateway TIRZ is projected to generate $100 million in new construction value that includes several new hotels, retail outlets, and entertainment venues. This activity occurs alongside the residential projects and may support additional local amenities over time.

Buyers evaluating properties near these sites can review construction timelines and unit availability directly through developer updates. Checking current listings against the documented start dates for each project provides a clearer picture of when new options will reach the market.

Monitoring progress on the listed developments allows buyers to align purchase plans with actual delivery schedules rather than general market assumptions.
