$4M mixed-use development to break ground in early 2025 in San Marcos

A new mixed-use development called The Orient is anticipated to break ground in early 2025.

The architect on the $4 million project is Webber + Studio, Architects. The Orient, which is owned by Double Feng LLC, will be built on the same site as Japanese-eatery Sakura, Studio Director James Garza said.

About the project

The Orient will be three stories, consisting of ground floor retail space and a total of nine apartments on the upper two floors. The third level will have a small clubhouse room with an outdoor balcony that will view Texas State University’s football stadium, Garza said in an email to Community Impact.

Notable quote

Garza said that The Orient is a small infill project, which is becoming more common throughout urban areas.

“We believe that this project will be a great addition to the neighborhood and will be a catalyst for similar future developments in the area,” Garza said.

Looking ahead

The project is currently going through permitting with the city, Garza said. Once the project breaks ground, it is anticipated to be completed by mid-2026.
