Spotlight: Los Arcos at Vida

Location: 10210 S. Zarzamora St. San Antonio, TX 78224

Situated along Zarazamora Street on the rapidly growing south side of San Antonio, Los Arcos at VIDA is a 324-unit affordable multifamily community with 1 to 4-bedroom units reserved for residents and families earning 30 to 70% of the Area Median Income (AMI). It stands as a vibrant cornerstone within the expansive 600+ acre VIDA master-planned development. While VIDA already offers diverse housing options, including single-family homes, Los Arcos proudly represents the first multifamily and affordable housing offering.

The journey to bring this development to fruition was far from seamless. The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic sent construction costs soaring from unprecedented supply chain disruptions and interest rates steadily climbed. Adding to the pressures of a difficult macro-economic environment, several deadlines threatened to shut down the development completely.

Driven by a resolute commitment to deliver this vital community asset, The NRP Group and local partners united to bridge the financial gap. Bexar County Commissioner's Court used American Rescue Plan Act funds for land acquisition, and San Antonio voters overwhelmingly approved the city’s first-ever affordable housing bond, with Los Arcos at VIDA as the first recipient.

Communities like Los Arcos at VIDA are developed with intention to integrate design, amenities and services to create homes where residents can thrive. A true testament of partnership, this community embodies the endless potential of creative and relentless collaboration to build opportunity.
