The Crossover, a sports, retail and entertainment complex on the Cedar Park-Leander line, is for sale, according to a publicly available brochure from commercial real estate agency Transwestern.

The details: The sales brochure highlights potential ways a new owner could expand The Crossover and increase revenue, including adding more spectator seating around the field and ice rinks, creating meeting rooms and work zones, selling sponsorship and naming rights, and monetizing concert and event parking.

The brochure does not list a price for The Crossover and says it is “subject to offer.” Williamson County property records list the total market value of the property at $30.45 million.

A new restaurant is bringing South Indian cooking to Leander.

The details: The Pulao Company, named after the one-pot rice dish, opened July 8. While the restaurant offers both vegetarian pulaos and those made with a variety of meats, the menu also features soups, naans and biryanis.

The Pulao Company also has a location in Frisco.
