SAN ANTONIO, TX (April 13, 2023) —With its charming architectural design, modern interiors and enhanced amenities, The Lantana Apartments are soon to be open to help meet the growing housing needs of San Marcos’ robust growth.

The 216-unit Lantana Apartments, situated on 10 acres within the City of San Marcos, at Rattler Road and Old Bastrop Road, is located directly across from San Marcos High School. With easy access to Interstate 35, between Austin and San Antonio, The Lantana, is income-based and 100 percent affordable development that is well-positioned as an ideal quality housing option for the growing San Marcos community.

“The best things in San Marcos are getting even better with the addition of this quality, affordable rental housing community,” said Mark Tolley, Founding Partner of Mission Development Group. “We are honored and proud that The Lantana Apartments will offer a fresh, vibrant and enjoyable place for families and individuals to enjoy a quality of life,” added Tolley. The Class A housing community offers residents a quality, affordable rental housing community with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floorplans giving residents a variety of options to accommodate their household size, lifestyle and preferences. The Lantana consists of eight, 3- story buildings featuring private patios and balconies, 9-foot ceilings, wood-style LVT flooring, granite countertops, in-unit washers and dryers, in addition to other unit upgrades. Community amenities include resort-style swimming pool, clubhouse, resident lounge, 24-hour fitness center, business center, playground, pickleball court, outdoor grilling area, covered parking, dog park and pet stations, among other competitive amenities. “This is a wonderful milestone in the history of the City of San Marcos and the San Marcos Housing Authority,” said Lana Wagner, Executive Director of the San Marcos Housing Authority. “This is the first new affordable income-based rental housing project in San Marcos in over fifty years, and it is an extraordinarily high-quality development for our community,” added Wagner.

The Lantana development has engaged the services of Community Housing Resource (CHR) Partners to provide supportive services for residents to build a safe and healthy environment by creating and facilitating a place for community. Residents will be able to take advantage of many resources including children’s programs, career placement and training, health care assistance services, GED & ESL programs, computer and financial literacy courses and food assistance in coordination with the local USDA approved pantry.

Scheduled to open in the Summer of 2023, the Preview Hard Hat Tour marks the beginning of onsite leasing to be managed by Lincoln Property Company.
