Development spans 540 acres, marking Masonwood’s First San Antonio Project
SAN ANTONIO – November 13, 2025 – Today, executives from Masonwood Development — a Central Texas–based real estate and land development company — joined city officials and development partners to celebrate the groundbreaking of Viera, a 540-acre master-planned community featuring 472 acres of residential development in San Antonio. Masonwood started construction just five days after closing a $79 million transaction with Trez Capital, marking a major milestone as the company’s inaugural development in this market.
“We’re excited to see construction underway on what we know will be one of the premier developments in Medina County,” said Jack Meredith, CFO of Masonwood Development. “Moving from closing to groundbreaking this quickly signals a new standard for community development in high-demand markets. This was only possible through seamless coordination between our team including Trez Capital, Medina County, MTR Engineering, and four reputable builders: David Weekley, Chesmar Homes, Scott Felder Homes, and Brightland Homes.”
“Masonwood’s ability to transition from closing table to construction site in under a week demonstrates why they’re a partner of choice for transformative projects. This velocity creates immediate value in a market where everyday matters,” said Larry Sittre, Medina County Precinct 2 Commissioner.
Located half a mile west of CR381 and Potranco Rd., Viera will deliver over 1,000 curated homesites, each positioned to maximize the natural topography and Texas Hill Country views that define this Medina County property. The community’s design centers on creating a distinctive neighborhood, offering diverse architectural styles with centrally located amenities that include a lifestyle pool, outdoor kitchen and pavilion, interconnected trails, and gathering spaces designed to foster connection.
“Viera exemplifies what’s possible when a visionary developer meets strategic capital,” stated Jason Stowe, senior managing director, U.S. origination at Trez Capital. “Masonwood’s ability to transition from closing table to site construction in less than a week demonstrates why they’re a developer of choice for transformative projects. This velocity creates immediate value in a market where every day matters.”
Viera occupies one of the premier development sites in West San Antonio’s growth corridor. The community’s location provides unparalleled access to the Loop 1604 expansion project, as well as the recently approved Alamo Ranch Parkway expansion, which are aimed at reducing commute times for residents.
Viera falls within the boundaries of Medina Valley Independent School District (MVISD). With a new high school under construction, a new middle school recently completed, and two additional elementary schools funded through the May 2024 bond, MVISD is proactively investing in educational resources ahead of the West San Antonio growth curve.
Phase I will bring 281 homesites/lots. Builders will be ready to begin model home and production of homes for sale in the fourth quarter of 2026.
“Families aren’t just buying homes, they’re investing in futures,” said Meredith. “Medina County’s collaborative, pro-growth approach has allowed us to move swiftly from entitlements to construction. In an extraordinary display of executive and market confidence, and after working closely with local vendors, we’re confident Viera will create an elevated opportunity for homebuyers.”
