William Cole Company’s The Lumin sets the stage for a bold expansion on Bryan’s west side.

The Lake Walk District is entering a new era. As the heartbeat of Bryan’s west side continues to grow, William Cole Companies is charting the next phase of development, one that will further elevate Lake Walk as a destination for business, innovation, and community.

At the center of this expansion is The Lumin, a new Class A+ office building designed to bring together leading companies and forward-thinking professionals in an environment that blends modern architecture with the natural beauty that defines Lake Walk.

The Lumin: Building Momentum

Positioned along the Lake Atlas waterfront, The Lumin offers more than 103,000 square feet of premium office, retail, and restaurant space. It combines modern design, luxury amenities, and a strong sense of place.

The project’s design emphasizes light, connection, and collaboration. Floor-to-ceiling windows, open-air terraces, and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces reflect Lake Walk’s lifestyle-oriented ethos. Inside, tenants will experience a setting that rivals major metropolitan markets: a private fitness center with showers and lockers, a tenant lounge and café, multiple conference spaces, and covered parking with direct building access.

“The Lumin is more than just an office building,” said Spencer Clements, President of William Cole Companies. “It’s about creating an environment that attracts exceptional talent, fosters collaboration, and offers a lifestyle experience that matches the energy of Lake Walk itself.”

Surrounded by Texas A&M University, the property sits midway between the university’s flagship campus and the RELLIS innovation campus, creating a strategic hub for research, technology, and corporate expansion. The site is also adjacent to Traditions Country Club, home of the Texas A&M Golf Teams, reinforcing the district’s ties to the Aggie community and its culture of excellence.

The next step in this transformation includes completing the Lake Atlas waterfront experience, which currently includes the observation tower, lakeside park, and pavilion, which hosts activities like Saturday morning yoga and evening concerts. Constructing a new parking garage that will serve The Lumin and future restaurant and entertainment options across Lake Walk. Once complete, the structure will support the growing business community and the visitors who come to experience Lake Walk’s restaurants, retailers, events, and public spaces.

This addition marks the beginning of a larger vision for the district that continues the success of The Stella Hotel, adjacent shops and eateries, and the walkable public spaces that have made Lake Walk a premier destination in the Brazos Valley.

A Big Vision with Big Returns for the Brazos Valley

William Cole’s long-term projections are ambitious. At build-out, the company anticipates that Lake Walk will generate $26 million in annual tax revenue from its multi-family and commercial components.

That kind of growth will transform Lake Walk from a regional destination into a statewide model for planned urban innovation that blends commerce, culture, and community in equal measure.

From the earliest site plans to the community’s most recent developments, Lake Walk’s approach has focused on creating places where people want to work, live, and connect.

With The Lumin, that vision moves to a new level. The building will bring world-class amenities within an architecturally appealing structure, offering companies a space that competes with major markets while remaining rooted in the charm and accessibility of Bryan-College Station.

Looking Ahead

The Lake Walk story has always been about collaboration between public and private partners, between the city and its citizens, and between vision and execution. This next phase builds on that spirit.

As the groundwork begins for The Lumin, the garage and the completion of the Lake Atlas waterfront, Lake Walk is poised for another chapter of growth. The district’s mix of lakeside views, community events, boutique hospitality, and pedestrian-friendly design continues to make it one of the most desirable addresses in Central Texas.

For William Cole Companies, this is the natural next step. This moment connects the district’s history of thoughtful development with its future as a place where innovation and lifestyle converge.

And for Lake Walk, it’s the beginning of something even brighter.
