Southstar was proud to celebrate the opening of University Health Vida alongside Edward Banos, CEO of University Health, and so many dedicated community partners.

This new center brings urgent care, primary and specialty services, behavioral health, and community resources closer to home for San Antonio’s Southside. It’s a meaningful step forward in expanding access to care and supporting healthier futures for our neighbors.

Our team is grateful to be part of a community coming together around health, connection, and wellness.

Dear San Antonio,

We wanted to share it with you first.

Today, Southstar purchased the Lone Star Brewery site. Our team has long dreamed of being a part of this effort – to celebrate all that Lone Star has meant to the City, and help guide its next chapter.

Many neighbors have shared their stories about the proud working legacy of Lone Star. Of generations working together to care for their families. Of learning swimming in the pool. And family gatherings that occurred beneath ancient oaks along the river. We're reminded of that pride every time we see that iconic chimney stack.

The Lone Star site is an important and complex opportunity to better connect neighbors and create spaces that are needed in San Antonio. To find synergies across many of the exciting efforts already underway in San Antonio; including VIA Metropolitan Transit transit-oriented development, San Antonio River Authority's vision for the San Antonio River, and the exciting forward progress of The San Antonio Sports & Entertainment District.

Many passionate San Antonians have worked for years to protect and further the story of Lone Star. That work matters. We will build on it, nurture it and together to create a new part of the Lone Star story.

This won’t be easy. Complex development can only be successful if we're all ready to join the conversation and commit to a shared vision. For us, the goal is to shape a new future for Lone Star that includes everyone. That our children will proudly talk about with future generations.

To our neighbors, partners and City and County leaders who have offered their feedback, thank you. If we haven’t met you yet, we look forward to including your voice in the conversation.

The hard work begins today. We are ready. Let's do this, San Antonio!
