Avery Centre is a 1400-acre planned unit development in northeast Round Rock. It includes plans for a town center, which will be located near the intersection of FM 1460, or AW Grimes, and County Road 112.

The Avery family, whose ancestors have owned land in Round Rock for more than 100 years, hired Waterstone Development to manage and plan this large-scale project. The Averys previously worked with the CEO of Waterstone Development, Bob Wunsch, to develop Avery Ranch, an 1800 acre residential community in north Austin between Round Rock and Cedar Park.

The master plan for Avery Centre is a New Urban design featuring a mix of retail, residential and commercial development. The pedestrian-friendly design will cater to walkers and bikers–those attending universities and colleges such as Texas State University, Austin Community College and the Texas A&M Health Science Center.

Seton Medical Center Williamson also exists at Avery Centre today, with complementary development planned for the site. For example, a privately owned medical office building will be built just south of the hospital. A book store, coffee shop and sandwich shop is planned near the college campuses to serve students.

The development is expected to be fully built out by 2018.
