Stone Oak and North Central San Antonio — the strongest suburban CRE corridor in the SA metro.

Stone Oak and the broader North Central San Antonio corridor (US 281 from Loop 1604 north into the Hill Country gateway) are the demographic engine of the SA metro. High household incomes, sustained residential growth, and the emerging mixed-use clusters around Sonterra and TPC Parkway combine to make this the strongest retail and medical-office submarket in San Antonio.

Retail is genuinely tight. Grocery-anchored centers run at low single-digit vacancy with rents that look more like Austin than typical SA. The 2026 catalyst is the continued north-and-northwest residential growth into the Bulverde and Spring Branch areas (Hill Country gateway), which keeps the Stone Oak trade area growing structurally for the next decade. Restaurant endcaps in the corridor lease with multiple bids and premium rents.

Medical office is the second standout. Methodist Stone Oak Hospital's continued expansion plus specialty practice clustering keeps medical building absorption strong. Office in general is solid — professional and corporate office sits at 10-12% vacancy with $24–28/SF gross asking rents, decent leasing velocity.
