San Antonio · South Side
A half million people, 325 hospital beds gone since 2023, and a new 166-bed campus landing in 2027.
$0 out of pocket for most practices. The landlord pays our fee.
Send us your lease Call (210) 384-2342Texas Vista Medical Center at 7400 Barlite Boulevard closed in May 2023, taking 325 beds out of a part of the city with roughly half a million residents. What remained was thin: Mission Trail Baptist Hospital on Research Plaza, Southeast Baptist on East Southcross, and Baptist Emergency Hospital on Zarzamora.
University Health is filling that gap. The Palo Alto Hospital at 11102 South Zarzamora at Jaguar Parkway sits on a 68-acre campus adjacent to Texas A&M University-San Antonio: five stories, 166 beds expandable to 286, with a connected medical office building, opening in 2027. University Health Vida opened on the same campus in fall 2026 with primary care, behavioral health, women's health and preventive care.
Today there is very little medical office product near that site. That is not a weakness of the submarket, it is the entire opportunity, and it has a date on it.
A hospital opening in 2027 means the practices that will serve it are making decisions now. Space near a campus is cheapest before the campus opens and most expensive about a year after. If you intend to be here, the lease math favours moving early, and we can tell you how early.
There is not much purpose-built medical office near the Palo Alto site yet, so the practical options today are second-generation space further north along the corridor, retail conversion, or negotiating into the connected medical office building on the new campus.
The South Side carries real public investment beyond the hospital, including tax increment reinvestment zone activity and the Texas A&M University-San Antonio adjacency. We track what is entitled and what is only announced, because those are very different things when you are signing a ten-year lease.
Primary care, pediatrics, women's health, behavioral health and the specialties that follow a new hospital. If you serve this population today from a location further north, the campus opening is worth a conversation about where you will want to be in 2028.

What This Costs Your Practice
It is in the listing agreement before you walk in.
You do not save it. Their broker keeps it.
For most practices, $0 and no invoice from us.
Same fee, two ways to split it. One of them puts a negotiator in your corner. The other does not.
A few situations differ, such as owner-direct, physician-owned and sublease space. We confirm the fee in writing on every building before you tour it. Brokerage fees are negotiable and not set by law.
Common Questions
The hospital is scheduled to open in 2027 on the 68-acre campus at 11102 South Zarzamora. University Health Vida, an outpatient facility on the same campus, opened in fall 2026. Dates on projects this size can move, so we confirm current status before anyone signs on the strength of them.
Very little purpose-built product, which is the honest answer and the reason to talk early. The realistic options today are the connected medical office building on the campus itself, second-generation space along the South Zarzamora and Southcross corridors, and retail conversion.
Texas Vista Medical Center closed in May 2023 and it had 325 beds. For a part of the city with roughly half a million residents, that is a substantial removal of inpatient capacity, and it is the reason the University Health campus is being built where it is.
