Capital Projects
Construction takes place every day around the City of Manvel. Capital Projects include new construction, expansions, and renovations of City facilities and infrastructure. Keep up with some of the City's ongoing projects here, or follow along from the sky with our drone footage updates on YouTube.
Manvel Town Center
Located on the northwest corner of Highway 288 and Highway 6, Manvel Town Center is one of the biggest planned commercial projects in Manvel. The project sits on 273 acres of land and will host restaurants, shopping, entertainment, major grocery anchor H-E-B, and more!
The City of Manvel and Weiztmen Group broke ground on the Project on June 22, 2021, and commercial construction began in January of 2023. View the concept rendering of Manvel Town Center.
Akery Lake
Akery Lake (formally the Manvel Drainage Pond) is a joint effort between the City of Manvel, Brazoria County Conservation and Reclamation District #3 (C&R3), Brazoria Drainage District #4 (BDD4), and Brazoria Drainage District #5 (BDD5) to detain heavy rainfall and minimize catastrophic flooding along State Highway 6 (SH6).
A drainage pond, or "detention pond," is a constructed depression that receives and stores stormwater runoff from a specific drainage area. Akery Lake will provide many benefits to the City, including the reduction of ponding water on SH6, a designated evacuation route, during extreme flooding events.
On June 21, 2022, the City of Manvel and its collaborating entities broke ground on the much-anticipated project, and work on Phase 1 of the 2-Phase project began. At the current rate of work, Phase 1 is estimated to conclude by the end of 2025.
Once completed, Akery Lake will provide over 1,000 acre-feet of storage capacity. Read more about the project on its dedicated webpage or view the concept design.
Manvel Police Station
The City of Manvel is working with PGAL and Flint Co. to design and construct a new police station located at 6509 Masters Rd. The station is currently under construction. View the Police Station renderings or view the site plan.
Public safety is a top priority for the City of Manvel, which is why, in 2022, the City Council approved the construction of a new 45,000 sq/ft Police Station designed to withstand the test of time. The station will accommodate the essential functions of the department and provide ample space for officers and staff to continue to provide the excellent level of service the community has come to expect.
Manvel Public Works Campus
The Manvel Public Works Campus will be located at 6311 Masters Rd. The campus is currently under construction. View the Public Works design renderings or view the site plan.
The Public Works Campus will have two wings - an Administrative Building, approximately 7,500 sq/ft in size, to house administrative staff and department leadership, and a Maintenance Shop, with a size of approximately 12,700 sq/ft, to accommodate the department's fleet of service vehicles, storage, and workspace for public works operations.
