WatersEdge Groundbreaking Commemorates The First “Best-In-Class” Office Park In Southeast San Antonio

Fall 2022 | On September 13, 2022, Cambridge Development Group broke ground on WatersEdge– two 100,000 square-foot Class “A” suburban office buildings located on 14.1 acres at the Brooks Campus in San Antonio, Texas. On September 14, 2022, a San Antonio Express News article recognized the project as the first new high-end office property to be constructed in the Southeast region of San Antonio. WatersEdge I and II, encompassing 200,000 rentable square-feet of office space is anticipated to bring both sustainability as well as economic development to the Southeast community.

The complex is designed with sustainability features at the forefront. WatersEdge I, the first of the two buildings under development by Cambridge, overlooks scenic waterfalls and a beautifully landscaped pond. The carefully curated plants surrounding the pond will absorb water runoff and provide a pleasing aesthetic for the outdoor spaces. Locally sourced building materials such as light-colored stone and concrete exterior increase cooling efficiency. Outdoor communal spaces include a food truck park and comfortable seating areas. The campus landscape will feature approximately 200 shade trees– which will improve air quality and provide respite in a relaxing greenspace. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the purposefully planned arroyos will aid in capturing storm water for site irrigation and will reduce the flow of run off into San Antonio’s storm water system. Along with being less than 1 mile from the VIA Brooks Transit Center that provides 7 bus lines, the property will feature bike racks to promote environmentally friendly transportation.

In addition to a positive environmental impact, the new high-end office park has the potential to increase socio-economic growth by bringing in top-level tenants offering high-paying jobs. The 4-story commercial office buildings are strategically located near the Mission Trail Baptist Hospital and DPT Laboratories. Along with generous parking, the prime location is expected to attract tenants such as technology firms and healthcare services. Principal, T. Michael Scott of Cambridge Development Group offers valuable market insight;

We will be able to deliver this first-class space to tenants with more than typical buildout allowances but at a price under the current market rates. Until now there has been a missing piece in the jewel that is Brooks, and that is office space. We look to fill it with workers that can earn high wages and that can live, work and play right here at Brooks.

Previous development projects successfully completed by Cambridge in San Antonio’s Opportunity Zone include Brooks Industrial I, currently occupied by Amazon, and the award-winning Cuisine Solutions’ World’s Largest Sous Vide Plant. In partnership with Brooks and Preston Hollow Community Capital, Cambridge Development Group is pleased to make yet another contribution to the economic development and regional prosperity of San Antonio. The WatersEdge project will be the new home of Brooks Headquarters and will bring the highest quality office space to new and expanding tenants at the Brooks campus.

The All-Star team assembled by Cambridge Development Group and Preston Hollow Community Capital includes Pape Dawson Engineers, Harvey Cleary Builders and Powers Brown Architecture. With all players included and construction underway, WatersEdge I is projected to be completed in Summer of 2023.
