A new slate of businesses will open near the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2027. The Merc, a mixed-use district under construction on UTSA Boulevard, announced its first round of retail tenants, including a Japanese restaurant, Hawaiian barbecue, and a brunch and breakfast eatery.

Development Details

The $350 million development broke ground last year, bringing a mix of 1,600 apartments and 200,000 square feet of commercial space to the UT San Antonio area near the intersection of UTSA Boulevard and Loop 1604. The development will sit next to a nine-hole golf course that is also currently in the works.

According to Rob Schumacher, the project’s developer, Northwest San Antonio continues to be one of the most dynamic growth corridors in Texas, and The Merc is being built to meet that momentum with something more intentional.

The owners of Wild Goji Sushi, a Northside revolving sushi restaurant, are creating a new concept at The Merc. Canadian breakfast and brunch restaurant Pür & Simple opened its first U.S. location last year near Stone Oak and is expanding into Florida and adding another location at The Merc.

Two nationwide chains, Hawaiian Bros Island Grill and smoothie and juice store Pure Green, will also set up shop. It will be Pure Green’s first San Antonio location. Frenchies Modern Nail Care, another chain with an existing Northside location, will round out the group.
