Bastrop, Texas, is preparing for a major addition—a Courtyard Marriott Inn at Jackson Square. Slated to begin construction in late 2025, according to TDLR filings, this hotel will bring a fresh wave of hospitality to the bustling State Highway 71 corridor.
Location and Development
Located at 1651 East State Highway 71, the Courtyard Marriott Inn will sit in the heart of Bastrop County. A comparison between 1997 and 2022 aerial images shows how this area has transformed from rural patches to a growing business hub. The future hotel will be constructed on private land, expanding over 63,603 square feet across four stories.

Key Features and Timeline
This new construction project is expected to be completed by December 2026. Once completed, it will be part of Marriott’s high-end portfolio, offering luxury accommodations and high-quality services. Courtyard by Marriott has a global presence, with over 1,250 hotels catering to business professionals and families.
A Glimpse of the Past and Future
The aerial view from 1997 shows how much the area around Highway 71 has changed over the decades. The site, once surrounded by minimal infrastructure, is now flourishing, as seen in the 2022 aerial image, where businesses have sprung up around the future Courtyard Marriott location. This visual evolution reflects Bastrop’s steady economic growth.
