Investor Testimonials
Why Should You Invest in the San Antonio-Austin Corridor
The Austin-San Antonio Corridor is one of the fastest-growing regions in the nation, currently home to 4.5 million people and expected to grow to 6-7 million people by 2030. Nowhere in the U.S. do two metros growing this rapidly (San Antonio is No. 2 and Austin is No. 3 in population growth over the last year) exist in such proximity.
Based on U.S. Census estimates, the combined population of the 13 counties in the Austin-San Antonio corridor will grow by 34% by 2030, rising from a 2014 population of 4.2 million to 5.7 million.
With a combined $278 billion in gross domestic product (GDP) of the two metropolitan areas today, the economy of the Austin-San Antonio Corridor is comparable to the current economy of Egypt.
Over the next 50 years, Austin and San Antonio is expected to become a single mega-metro area, which will provide greater connectivity to serve the increasing interdependence and joint economic potential as the two cities grow together.
