EDC discusses outreach to leasing agent for vacant 15925 San Pedro building; no transaction action taken
Summary
Board members discussed contacting the leasing agent for the former Taco Cabana at 15925 San Pedro to solicit potential tenants, including local quick‑service and regional chain options. The EDC plans outreach and possible coordination with the San Antonio Metro Chamber; no purchase or lease was authorized.
Board members raised the vacant property at 15925 San Pedro Avenue (the former Taco Cabana) as a potential target for EDC outreach to leasing agents and prospective tenants.
Kenneth and other members said they had contacted or planned to contact the property's leasing representative at Galleria Oaks. "That's who I started to put the question out to," a member said about engaging the leasing agent to determine what types of tenants the property could attract.
Members discussed candidate tenants and marketing channels: direct outreach to regional quick‑service chains (for example, Raising Cane's or an iced‑tea/coffee concept) and potential distribution through the San Antonio Metro Chamber of Commerce's real‑estate or membership networks. Staff noted the permit clerk had not received any inquiries about the property in recent weeks.
Why this matters: A filled tenant at a visible commercial parcel could increase local sales tax revenue and activate a commercial corridor; the EDC indicated willingness to assist with outreach but did not authorize direct subsidies or leasing arrangements at the meeting.
What happens next: Staff and board members will pursue informal outreach to the leasing agent and may contact trade organizations or the Metro Chamber to notify potential tenants. Any request for incentives or EDC financial support would require later board consideration.
