SUBMARKET DYNAMICS
Northwest San Antonio office submarket reports 10.8% vacancy (Q3 2025, CoStar), with asking rents stable at $27.00/SF. While the broader office market faces headwinds from hybrid work models, retail and mixed-use corridors like Culebra continue attracting investment - evidenced by recent QSR development and growing residential density in surrounding neighborhoods.
The property's retail/office configuration and institutional proximity (St. Mary's) position it differently than traditional suburban office product. Value-add investors targeting lease-up and repositioning are active in similar transitional corridors throughout San Antonio's urban core.
The Culebra corridor specifically is seeing private capital investment in retail and QSR development, signaling landlord/developer confidence in the trade area. Mix of national chains and local businesses in surrounding blocks. Primary commercial uses: retail, office, medical, service businesses.
COMPETITIVE POSITION
Properties benefit from institutional traffic generator (St. Mary's) that most competing retail/office centers lack. Submarket retail vacancy rates currently 10.7%, with asking rents ranging $18-22/SF NNN for similar product (0.9% growth).
