The asset
Mission Development, alongside CLX Ventures, has started construction on Aspire at VIDA, a 300-unit, garden-style multifamily community on 12 acres along Jaguar Boulevard in San Antonio’s Southside. The Class-A project sits directly across from Texas A&M University–San Antonio within the larger VIDA mixed-use development.
“VIDA San Antonio is a vibrant mixed-use development offering the perfect setting for the Aspire at VIDA residential community. Where else can you enjoy new, high-quality workforce housing next to a prestigious university, near a world-class hospital, medical offices, employment opportunities with global companies, masterplan amenities with more on the horizon?” said Mark Tolley, Managing Partner, Mission Development.
The community is slated for completion in February 2027.

Project details
Aspire at VIDA will consist of four three-story buildings offering a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans designed to accommodate a range of household sizes and lifestyles.
Residences will feature nine-foot ceilings, wood-style flooring, granite countertops, private patios or balconies, and in-unit washers and dryers. Community amenities are set to include a resort-style pool, clubhouse, lounge, business center, cornhole arena, sand volleyball court, game and arts-and-crafts room, dog park, bike racks, playground, gazebo with grills, and pet stations.
“This is a perfect place and time to invest in the future of our community, and we are proud to utilize our vast experience and expertise to bring Aspire at VIDA to fruition with our architect, GRG Architecture, our contractor, Concept Builders, and amazing investment partners,” said John Latham, Managing Partner, Mission Development.
Strategic location
The project is positioned in close proximity to major employment and education anchors, including Texas A&M University–San Antonio, University Health Palo Alto Hospital, and Toyota Manufacturing of Texas . The broader VIDA development integrates residential, retail, healthcare, and educational uses across 600 acres in the heart of the Southside.
“We’re pleased to welcome nationally awarded Mission Development and their Aspire at VIDA project to the community. Aspire at VIDA will bring a much-needed housing type to this fast-growing part of Southside San Antonio. Located across from the A&M campus and down the road to the VIDA town center and University Health Hospital and campus, Aspire at VIDA will welcome a wide array of people home to this well-located, well-amenitized project,“ said Southstar CEO Thad Rutherford.
Why it matters
As San Antonio’s southern corridor continues to expand, Aspire at VIDA aims to address rising demand for attainable, high-quality rental housing serving workers in education, healthcare, manufacturing, and related sectors.
With delivery expected in early 2027, the project adds to the growing pipeline of mixed-use and multifamily development reshaping the Southside submarket.
