Austin developer plans high-end resort community in Aransas County, The Reserve at St. Charles Bay

A development firm dually based in Austin and Houston bought 120 acres on St. Charles Bay near Rockport for a new waterfront community.
Hal Jones Development LLC, in a joint venture with McCombs Enterprises, is plotting The Reserve at St. Charles Bay that will eventually include 292 single-family homes, two condo developments, a lodge and a private island in Aransas County on the Texas coast.
 
"Our mission is to work in harmony with the natural elements of the land" says developer Hal Jones. "The end result is a well thought out development that coexists peacefully within the natural landscape, the wildlife and the community."
 
The Reserve at St. Charles Bay is one of several new communities being developed in that area along the Texas coast.
"We chose this particular location because of the amenities and conveniences already in place in Rockport" says Jones. "Other communities have yet to establish the infrastructure and conveniences that people demand."
 
Hal Jones Development focuses primarily on projects on the Texas coast and in the Hill Country region.
