Developer still writing plot for evolving West Side story - 7/27/2007
(San Antonio: Mixed-Use)
(West San Antonio) - Dallas-based Cumberland Investments recently closed on the purchase of 565 acres of land at the northwest corner of State Highway 211 and U.S. Highway 90 on the city's West Side. Cumberland is working to create a master-planned community on the site, to be called The Orchard, according to Deborah Bauer, president of San Antonio real estate firm Drake Commercial Group LLC. As part of that master plan, Cumberland has carved out 300 acres for a power center that could include a mix of garden offices, hotel development and retail users. The Orchard is situated in "the heart of the growth pattern" for the city's West Side, Bauer says. "The site sits directly on (Hwy.) 90 and captures the traffic all the way from here to Castroville, and the going-home traffic on (Hwy.) 211," she adds.

Of the 565 acres, 300 are planned for commercial, retail, office and other mixed-use while the rest of the land (265 acres) is planned as either single and multi-family housing and greenbelt with park or a golf course with a hotel resort and greenbelt with park.
FYI: There are some master plan designs/renderings that I could post but I will hold up in posting them as they are early stage designs and I will wait until the final official master plan is released.
Briggs Ranch
Being built directly across 211 from The Orchard is Briggs Ranch's large retail/commercial development.
