Stratford Land Provides Funding to Developers of San Antonio’s Monterrey Village Project

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stratford Land has provided a $14 million non-recourse loan to Carlton Holdings to support its development plans for Monterrey Village, a 182-acre mixed-use commercial project in western San Antonio at IH 410 and SH 151. The loan from Stratford Land provides the developer a bridge to commercial development, which includes multi-family, medical, retail and office development.

“We are pleased to be able to support this strong sponsor in its plans to get the Monterrey Village development underway in the fast-growing area of west San Antonio, a real estate market where we have become very active.”

Carlton Holdings has owned the land since 2006 and in conjunction with Walt Busby of Central Texas Realty & Development will provide more details as parcels are sold and developed.

Jason Stowe, Stratford Land’s director of lending, Texas, said, “We are pleased to be able to support this strong sponsor in its plans to get the Monterrey Village development underway in the fast-growing area of west San Antonio, a real estate market where we have become very active.”
