Lynd, a national real estate development and property management firm, announced the opening of the new clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center and other amenities at Potranco Commons, a 360-unit luxury rental community on San Antonio’s Far West Side.
“The beautiful, hospitality-inspired clubhouse and amenities spaces at Potranco Commons provide an elevated resident experience that matches that of the well-appointed units,” said David Lynd, president and chief executive officer of Lynd. “While we strive for excellence in every Lynd community, Potranco Commons offers a more refined, even luxurious, aesthetic we’re proud to have in our own backyard.”
For example, tall, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows and stylish oversized chandeliers call attention to the soaring ceilings in the approximately $2 million, 11,000-square-foot clubhouse, which includes a residential lounge with a community kitchen, coffee bar and plush upholstered furnishings around a double-sided fireplace clad with quartzite in a graphic book-match pattern that creates a striking focal point; a fitness center and yoga studio, both with expansive windows overlooking the lush landscaping; and rentable storage units as well as a 24/7 mail/package room. Residents have access to numerous outdoor amenities, including a volleyball court, resort-style swimming pool with private poolside cabanas and soft seating, playground and bark park.
As with other premier Lynd rental communities, including Culebra Commons and The Josephine in San Antonio and The Villas at Tuttle Royale in West Palm Beach, Fla., residents and employees of Potranco Commons can take advantage of free on-site fitness and yoga classes, an example of Lynd’s commitment to wellness. In addition, a resident DJ is available to play music on the swimming pool deck during select community events.
The centrally located clubhouse complements the community’s 15 three-story buildings, which are clad with brick accented by stucco and wood-like fiber cement siding. The buildings include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts ranging in size from 541 to 1,355 square feet, with market-rate residences starting at $1,181 per month.
Homes at Potranco Commons are available in two thoughtfully selected interior finish options (light and dark packages) and feature open layouts with 10-foot ceilings and oversized windows; spacious kitchens with islands, custom 42-inch cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, premium quartz countertops, built-in stainless-steel appliances and oversized pantries; wood flooring in the living areas; carpeted bedrooms with walk-in closets; in-unit laundry rooms; smart door entry and thermostats; and either a patio, balcony or private yard, per unit.
“Potranco Commons provides residents with a great location near dining, shopping and entertainment plus a higher level of services, finishes and amenities than the typical apartment community in this neighborhood,” said Anthony Tiritilli, president of development for Lynd. “With more people coming to this area daily, including employees of nearby healthcare, tech and hospitality firms, Potranco Commons has become the apartment community of choice for discerning renters.”
The population of the Far West Side has boomed in recent years, with its county, Bexar, growing by more than 300,000 people between 2010 and 2020, according to U.S. census data. New homes and businesses, including several data centers, are proliferating in the area
Potranco Commons offers direct access to Dove Creek Shopping Center, Potranco Village Shopping Center and Potranco Plaza Center, as well as grocery stores, restaurants, Costco, SeaWorld, Lackland AFB, Northwest Vista College and Northside Independent School District. There is a bus stop less than one-half mile from the property.
Lynd is serving as property manager for Potranco Commons while Hasen Construction is building the project, with San Antonio Housing Facility Corp., an entity of Opportunity Home San Antonio, working in partnership with Bartlett as a general contractor.
Headquartered in San Antonio, Lynd has developed 3,570 units, owned over 7,000 units and managed 73 properties in the area since its founding in 1980. Two of the firm’s most recent developments in the city include Culebra Commons, a 327-unit garden-style apartment building that opened in 2021, and The Josephine, a 261-unit rental community that will open later this year. The firm is also currently developing residential projects in Illinois and Florida.
The Lynd Group is a fully vertically integrated real estate organization based in San Antonio, with a long-standing history in the acquisition, development and management of residential and commercial real estate. Managing approximately 20,000 apartment units in 20 states, Lynd ranks as one of the premiere multifamily management companies in the country.
