La Cantera is a master-planned development and district of the City of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas, on the city's Northwest Side. "La Cantera" is Spanish for "the quarry", in reference to what the district was before USAA turned it to a 178-acre (0.72 km2) mixed-use master-planned development.[1]
La Cantera is still under development and its focal point, Town Center at La Cantera, is currently being constructed. The Town Center will be a mix of shops, residences, and offices, and it will also link The Shops at La Cantera with Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
A second retail center is being built in La Cantera, by a joint venture between USAA Real Estate and JLL called La Cantera Heights. It will be located directly to the right of Six Flags Fiesta Texas' entrance sign on La Cantera Parkway.
One of San Antonio's hike-and-bike trails, Leon Creek Greenway, goes through La Cantera but does not yet link to it. A bridge is being built to connect La Cantera to the greenway.
