Guadalupe County is in line for a major new neighborhood, with Red Oak Development Group rolling out plans for Canvas, a master-planned community in the Seguin area that would add hundreds of homes plus new parks and trails. The project is pitched as a multi-phase mix of housing and small-scale retail, aimed squarely at the growing crowd of commuters who split their time between San Antonio and Austin. Nearby residents and local officials are expected to get an early look as the plan moves through permitting and planning.
According to San Antonio Business Journal, Canvas would stretch across roughly 350 acres, be built out in four phases and could include up to 1,200 homes, with prices ranging from the $300,000s to the mid-$800,000s. As detailed by Red Oak Development Group, the firm is marketing Canvas as a master-planned community immediately west of State Highway 123 in the Geronimo area and lists the site at about 400 acres.
Where It Would Sit
Canvas is planned just west of SH-123 in the Geronimo corridor, a stretch already seeing more development and road work. State Highway 123 is slated for a roughly $47 million widening project that could reshape traffic patterns and access near the proposed community.
What Canvas Would Include
As outlined by Red Oak Development Group and reported by San Antonio Business Journal, plans for Canvas call for a network of trails and parks, along with neighborhood-scale retail woven into new residential streets. Per the Business Journal, homes in the early phases are expected to start in the $300,000s and top out in the mid-$800,000s, with full buildout spread across multiple phases.
Infrastructure And Approvals
Before any of that becomes reality, Red Oak will need plat approval and utility coordination with city and county officials, and the initial reporting did not include a construction timetable. The SH-123 widening and recent federal street grants for Seguin mean access and right-of-way are likely to be front and center in early discussions, as noted in coverage of the SH-123 gridlock-busting overhaul.
Developers typically follow up with formal plats, traffic studies and glossy marketing materials as approvals move along, and those documents will spell out the precise footprint and phase timing. We will track city and county filings and share updates as officials and Red Oak release more details.
