The Far Westside of San Antonio continues to see explosive growth, and now, another major project is taking shape. The Cottonwood Pointe Retail Center, a $3.6 million shopping hub, is nearing completion at the busy intersection of Wiseman Boulevard and Cottonwood Way. 

This new retail center will include 24,000 square feet of space, anchored by a drive-thru McDonald’s, with additional retail and restaurant slots available. With over 27,000 vehicles passing through the intersection daily, this project is poised to become a major commercial draw for one of the fastest-growing areas of the city. 

Why This Matters for Far West San Antonio 

The Far Westside has become one of the hottest real estate markets in San Antonio. Families moving to San Antonio are increasingly drawn to neighborhoods like Alamo Ranch, Stillwater Ranch, and Westover Hills. The area’s affordable new construction homes, proximity to employers, and expanding amenities make it a top choice for buyers. 

Adding a retail center at Cottonwood Pointe means residents won’t have to travel far for dining and shopping. The addition of a McDonald’s alone will bring steady foot traffic, while other future tenants are expected to include boutique retailers and service businesses. 

Growth Trends in the Area 

San Antonio’s Far Westside is one of the most active growth corridors in Texas. According to SABOR data, homes in this part of the city continue to sell quickly, with days on market consistently lower than many other parts of Bexar County. Builders are expanding their footprint here, offering incentives like lower interest rate buy-downs and closing cost assistance to compete with resale homes. 

This new shopping center highlights how commercial development is keeping pace with residential growth. With new schools, road expansions, and now shopping and dining, the area is transforming into a fully self-sufficient community. 

Impact on Real Estate Values 

Retail and infrastructure improvements often bring an increase in home values nearby. Buyers love convenience, and being just minutes from shopping, dining, and major roads adds strong resale value to homes in the area. 

If you’re considering buying a home in San Antonio, the Far Westside is one to watch. Inventory remains competitive, and prices are climbing as more people discover the convenience of the area. 

Project Timeline 

Cottonwood Pointe is expected to be complete by the end of 2025. The McDonald’s drive-thru is already in progress, and leasing opportunities are open for additional tenants.
