Brooks, San Antonio

Brooks is a 1,308-acre (529 ha) mixed-use community in the southeast portion of the city of San Antonio, Texas, United States.

The plan includes a mix of residential, light-industrial, health, office, commercial and retail developments, along with designated parks and green space.

The land use plan breaks the 1,308-acre campus into three districts, each with a unique purpose and character that creates a balance between culture, economy, and ecology.

In May 2017, Embassy Suites Hotel & Spa by Hilton opened a location at Brooks, with 156-suites and about 13,000 square-feet of event and meeting space.

The Greenline, a 43-acre linear park connecting to the San Antonio River Mission Reach, opened at Brooks in the spring of 2018.

In Spring 2018, Japanese manufacturing company, Nissei Plastics Industrial Co., Ltd. opened a $13 million plant at Brooks, providing over 50 jobs.

Chef Jeff Balfour's Southerleigh restaurant is currently under construction at the heart of The Greenline park as well as a brewery project located off of Sidney Brooks east of South New Braunfels Ave.

The work provided foundation and structural repairs, electrical upgrades, installation of new windows and doors, painting and siding replacement, new paving and landscaping, and accessibility improvements.

Brooks also wanted to communicate that it is an open community where people can build businesses, live in residential areas, and visit nearby retail and dining facilities.

Brooks was one of the first to volunteer at the call for men for the American Flying Corps; he was about to complete his training for a commission as a military aviator.
