After returning to Boerne after decades in New Orleans, Sandra and Sondra Boone said they wanted to continue selling antiques to customers in the Hill Country.

As a result, she officially opened Foundry Hill Country at 608 E. Blanco Road on Oct. 2.

The details: The new antique store offers rustic, Hill Country-style home decor, vintage antiques, accessories and a few other home goods.

There’s also a selection of dried flowers, plants and tumbleweed available.

What’s special about it? Aside from working in the hospitality business and with interior design, Boone also owned another antique shop in the Houston area.

“We would take vintage items and add to them,” Boone said.

As a result, Foundry Hill Country will offer the same customization service for patrons in the community.

The context: Foundry Hill Country is one of two antique stores that have opened in the Boerne area over the last few months—the other being Beyond Blessed Keepsakes, as previously reported by Community Impact.

A new, $12 million commercial development called Corridor Commercial Center is making progress at 6420 FM 1102 in New Braunfels.

Project details: The center is being developed by Corridor Industrial Group and constructed by Elm Constructors. Corridor Commercial Center will have 12 buildings across 100,000 square feet. The buildings range in size from 3,850 to 11,900 square feet and can be divided into suites as small as 1,700 square feet, Miles Payne, a partner on the project and spokesperson for the development, said in an email to Community Impact.

Phase 1 of construction—which was the construction of four out of the 12 buildings—began in December 2024 and concluded in September. Each building is for lease, for sale or lease-to-purchase, and there will be a build-to-suit option for upcoming phases. Phase 2 of construction consists of warehouse spaces with an office inside each warehouse, also called flexspace or flex warehouses.

Looking ahead: Phase 2 is anticipated to begin in December and is slated to be completed in July 2026.
