SAN ANTONIO, TX — Mission DP, a Texas-based affordable housing developer, together with CLX Ventures and Southstar are developing Aspire at VIDA to meet the growing housing needs in the southern sector of San Antonio. Aspire at VIDA is an income-based development well-positioned as an ideal quality-of-life housing option for the growing area. Scheduled to open in the spring of 2027, the Class A housing community offers quality, affordable rental housing with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans, giving residents a variety of options to accommodate their household size, lifestyle, and preferences.
“VIDA San Antonio is a vibrant mixed-use development offering the perfect setting for the Aspire at VIDA residential community, ” said Mark Tolley, Founding Partner of Mission DP. “Where else can you enjoy quality affordable housing next to a prestigious institution of higher education, a nearby world-class hospital and health care, expansive employment opportunities with numerous global companies, retail, office, parks, and more,” added Tolley.
Aspire at VIDA is a 300-unit, garden-style multifamily community situated on 12 acres on Jaguar Blvd., directly across the street from Texas A&M University San Antonio. The Class-A, mixed-income community will provide high-end workforce housing in a walkable live/work environment across the street from Texas A&M San Antonio, near University Health Palo Alto Hospital, projected to open in 2027, and just north of Toyota Manufacturing of Texas.
“We’re pleased to welcome nationally awarded Mission DG 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.
Aspire at VIDA consists of three 3-story buildings featuring private patios and balconies, 9-foot ceilings, wood-style flooring, granite countertops, in-unit washers and dryers, and other unit upgrades. Community amenities include a resort-style pool, clubhouse, lounge, business center, cornhole arena, sand volleyball court, game and arts/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,” said John Latham, Partner of Mission DP. “We are proud to utilize our vast experience and expertise to bring Aspire at VIDA to fruition with our developer and investment partners,” added Latham.
