San Antonio: 200 homes mapped for South Side

SAN ANTONIO – Verano Land Group is set to build 200 single-family homes on its 2,500-acre master-planned site that encompasses the Texas A&M University-San Antonio campus on the South Side.

The one- and two-story houses will range from 1,400 sf to more than 2,000 sf. The developer will market about ten floor plans for homes with between two and four bedrooms.

Homes will cost $150,000 to $225,000 with the first ones coming online by December.

This is the first phase of a plan to build more than 2,000 single-family homes over the next decade. The residential component of Verano’s plan includes more than 4,000 apartments and condo units. The commercial portion calls for more than 1 million sf each of office and retail space and more than 3 million sf of industrial space.

Growth for the university and the Eagle Ford Shale are key components to increasing demand for housing in the area.
