Koontz Corp., a San Antonio-based company, is an award-winning industry leader in the development and construction of commercial and multifamily properties throughout Texas. Founded in 1998, Koontz Corp. is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month.
Over the last quarter of a century, Koontz Corp. has developed over 9 million square feet of commercial property with a total investment of $1.2 billion in development projects and $520,000 in third party construction. President and CEO Bart Koontz has led the company growth and is an established industry leader while remaining agile and responsive through changing market conditions.
Koontz Corp.’s impact can be seen in some of its most notable projects: The Broadway, KCI corporate headquarters, Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union, One Twin Oaks, Two Twin Oaks, McCombs Plaza, Pape Dawson headquarters and thousands of Class A apartments.
“I think the biggest impact I have made visually to the San Antonio landscape has been along the 281 corridor between Loop 410 and downtown,” said Koontz. “I either personally developed or was instrumental in developing McCombs Plaza at Mulberry Avenue, City Vista Apartments at Trinity University, The Broadway at Hildebrand and Broadway, and Concord Plaza at Jones Maltsberger and 281.”
Koontz is optimistic about the economic future of South and Central Texas. As the nation’s fastest-growing big city during the pandemic, San Antonio and its metropolitan area population is expected to top 4 million by 2050. The San Antonio-New Braunfels metropolitan statistical area is one of the fastest-growing parts of Texas and the nation.
Comal County — home to New Braunfels, Bulverde and Spring Branch — is growing at an immense pace. Comal County currently ranks second nationally among U.S. counties in percentage gains in population. Additionally, growth along the Austin-San Antonio corridor is projected to double in the next 30 years, creating vast opportunities through its sheer volume.
“The Texas Triangle boasts a GDP [gross domestic product] of $1.3 trillion, which accounts for 6.3% of the U.S. economy,” Koontz said. “In the future, many of us envision business and commerce in our area harnessing the demographics, heritage, labor force and geography of our area to create a new mega-region — the South Triangle — connecting San Antonio with Laredo, the Rio Grande Valley, Corpus Christi and the Northern Mexican states of Tamaulipas and Nuevo León, and [Monterrey].”
Koontz Corp. continues to pave the way for innovation and growth in Central and South Texas. Koontz’s proven track record as an industry leader has changed the region’s physical and economic landscape for the better.
Looking ahead, Koontz says, “After 25 years in business, I believe that Koontz Corporation, along with other San Antonio businesses, stands at the precipice of a new era like we have never seen before in San Antonio. It is going to be a wild, wonderful ride.”
