MID-YEAR REVIEW 2026 A Message to Our Members The first half of 2026 has demonstrated the strength, influence, and momentum of the Real Estate Council of San Antonio. Under the leadership of our 2026 Board Chair, Bernardo de la Garza, we have continued to advance RECSA's mission by ensuring the commercial real estate industry's voice remains at the forefront of the conversations shaping the future of our region. From City Hall and Bexar County to our region's key agencies, RECSA has remained actively engaged on the issues that matter most to our members. We have advocated for balanced, predictable, and transparent policies related to permitting, development fees, the Unified Development Code, utility rates, housing affordability, and emerging issues such as data center development. By engaging early and maintaining strong relationships with policymakers, we continue to help create an environment that supports responsible growth and investment across San Antonio. Our organization has also continued to grow and thrive. Through the first half of the year, we welcomed 32 new members, hosted a robust calendar of educational and networking events, celebrated another outstanding Leadership Development Program class, and opened applications for the next generation of industry leaders. We are equally proud to continue our Community Project initiative in partnership with Ascension DePaul Services, reinforcing our commitment to giving back to the community we help build every day. As I reflect on the accomplishments of the first half of the year, I am grateful for the leadership of Bernardo de la Garza, the dedication of our Board of Directors, committees, volunteers, sponsors, and members who make this organization so impactful. Together, we have built tremendous momentum, and I am excited for what we will accomplish in the months ahead as we continue advocating for a stronger, more prosperous San Antonio.
