Austin San Antonio megaregion: A powerhouse for growth and innovation
A megaregion on the rise The Austin San Antonio corridor has emerged as one of the most dynamic megaregions in the United States. With shared vision and coordinated leadership from regional economic development partners, this megaregion is accelerating job creation, attracting global investment and fostering widespread innovation. The region's success isn't accidental—it's the result of intentional collaboration, strategic planning and a commitment to inclusive growth. As Texas leads the nation in job growth, the Austin San Antonio megaregion is emerging as the state's most powerful employment corridor, with its population projected to grow from 5.3 million to 8.3 million by 2050. Why the megaregion matters The region's strengths are amplified by its academic infrastructure anchored by three R1 research institutions, with Texas State on the way — and a diverse set of industries driving innovation. Key sectors include: expand A dynamic workforce engine Workforce remains the region's most valuable asset. Educational institutions, regional employers, and agencies like Workforce Solutions and Texas Workforce Commission are aligning training with real-time industry needs. Efforts like early career exposure and credentialing are building clear pathways into high-demand careers — and business leaders are taking notice. 'Without employer leadership, the solutions that we create really aren't going to target the actual problems that we have in terms of workforce challenges," - Jaimie Francis, U.S. Chamber Foundation. Accelerating innovation across the corridor Innovation is a driving force behind the Austin San Antonio megaregion's growth. Companies are drawn to the corridor's unique mix of research institutions, skilled talent, and a business environment built for speed and scale. Through investments in innovation districts, applied R&D, and industry-led training, the region is turning ideas into impact — faster. This culture of cross-sector collaboration is helping shape not just where companies grow, but how entire industries evolve. Site selectors are taking notice Texas leads the nation in foreign direct investment — and the Austin San Antonio megaregion is a key reason why. With a strategic location, strong talent pipeline, and coordinated regional leadership, the corridor offers companies speed, certainty, and scale. Site selectors consistently cite three strengths: workforce readiness, infrastructure planning including SH130, and public-private coordination that reduces risk and accelerates timelines. 'Too often it's easy to broadcast wins, but site selectors—and the companies we represent—want to see how you tackled the challenges.' — Adam Glatz, Hickey & Associates In a landscape where time-to-market matters more than ever, the Austin–San Antonio megaregion stands out as a destination where business expansion doesn't just happen — it happens efficiently. Infrastructure, affordability and the Path Forward As the Austin San Antonio megaregion continues its record-setting growth, infrastructure and affordability have emerged as defining challenges – and opportunities. Regional leaders agree: Long-term success depends on more than economic wins. It requires a shared commitment to expanding and investing in the systems that connect people to opportunity. That's why Opportunity Austin, greater:SATX, Hays Caldwell Partnership, and the Greater New Braunfels Chamber are working together to align infrastructure investments with workforce, housing, and mobility needs. The goal is clear: build a region where people and businesses can grow — together. Current priorities include: Expanding SH130 and key east-west corridors to relieve congestion on I-35 and improve freight mobility across Central Texas Investments in water supply and power reliability to meet rising demand while safeguarding reliability and resilience Affordable housing solutions near key employment hubs to ensure people can live where they work Looking ahead With a projected population of 8.3 million by 2050, the Austin San Antonio megaregion stands at a pivotal moment. The growth is coming – the question is how we shape it. Looking ahead, partners across the region are focused on: Leveraging data to drive investment and policy decisions across key sectors Strengthening regional collaboration to scale solutions for housing, transportation and talent Supporting R&D, innovation districts and the retention of high-value industries Elevating quality of life through smart growth, workforce access and inclusive economic mobility This isn't just about managing expansion—it's about designing a model megaregion. As we move forward, Central Texas has the potential to lead the nation in economic resilience, opportunity, and shared success. Contact Opportunity Austin for more information.

CDL sets new benchmark for EC land with $782 psf ppr bid for Woodlands plot
SINGAPORE - In a determined bid to replenish its executive condominium (EC) project pipeline, City Developments Limited (CDL) topped offers for two EC sites at tenders closing on Aug 5. Both plots drew firm interest from five bidders, with CDL's bids also setting new benchmarks for EC land. A Woodlands Drive 17 parcel for 420 units saw a top bid of $360.9 million or $782 per square foot (psf) per plot ratio (ppr), slightly over the previous high set by Sim Lian's $768 psf ppr bid for a Tampines EC tendered in October 2024. The other EC parcel tendered, a plot in Senja Close in Bukit Panjang that can yield 295 units, was also topped by CDL at $252.9 million or $771 psf ppr. Mr Sherman Kwek, CDL's group chief executive officer, said: 'We are delighted to have emerged as the top bidder for these two well-located and highly sought-after EC sites, in particular for the Woodlands Drive 17 site where our bid is 0.2 per cent over the next highest bidder.' He added: 'With the full sell-out of our recent EC projects, Lumina Grand in Bukit Batok West and Copen Grand in Tengah, these two new sites totalling over 700 units represent a timely replenishment of our development pipeline in Singapore.' Three out of five bids for the Woodlands plot came in above the previous high. CDL's bid for the Woodlands site was a mere $1 psf ppr (0.2 per cent) higher than the second-highest of $360.3 million ($781 psf ppr) placed by a partnership between Sim Lian Land and Sim Lian Development. The next highest offer of $355.2 million, or $770 psf ppr, came from Intrepid Investments and TID Residential. This was followed by a tie-up between Hoi Hup Realty and Sunway Developments, with a bid of $352 million, or $763 psf ppr. Coming in last was EL Development, which placed a bid of $328.1 million or $711 psf ppr. Bids were at the higher end of analysts' expectations of $700 to $770 psf ppr. Consultants predicted firm demand for the 25,207 sq m site, and had anticipated four to eight bids, given the pent-up demand for new ECs in the area. Located next to Singapore Sports School, the land parcel has a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 42,853 sq m and is expected to yield some 420 new units. The last EC parcel awarded in the Woodlands area was in 2015 – to Hao Yuan Investment for $103.8 million or $278 psf ppr. The project, Northwave EC, was launched for sale in 2016 and has a median new sale price of $779 psf. Senja Close bids For the Senja Close site, CDL also beat four other bidders with its offer of $252.9 million or $771 psf ppr. This was followed by TID Residential, with a bid of $238 million or $725 psf ppr. Oriental Pacific Development came third with a bid of $234.9 million or $716 psf ppr. Next was Wee Hur Development at $231.4 million or $705 psf ppr. The lowest bid was by a tie-up between ABR, RP Ventures and LWH, with a bid of $230.9 million or $704 psf ppr. Consultants had expected the Senja Close site to draw two to six bids, with land rates ranging from $600 to $750 psf ppr. Located at the Kranji Expressway, the site has a maximum GFA of 30,478 sq m, of which at least 500 sq m will be for an early childhood development centre that can take in up to 100 children. The last EC parcel awarded in the Bukit Panjang area was in 2010 to Grand Isle, a CDL unit, for $182 million or $271 psf ppr. The project, Blossom Residences, was launched for sale later in 2011, and has a median new sale price of $704 psf, according to caveats lodged. Prices of EC projects have trended upwards over the last few years, held up by limited supply and strong demand. The most recent EC launch, in the west, is Otto Place by developers Hoi Hup Realty and Sunway Developments, which clinched the site for $423.4 million or $701 psf ppr in February 2024. The project sold 351, or 58.5 per cent, of its 600 units during its launch in July. The average price of its units sold under the normal payment scheme was $1,700 psf.
