Comal County · New Braunfels
Two competing hospital systems in one of the fastest growing counties in the country, and a leasing market tight enough that waiting has a real cost.
Check your lease free Talk to usNew Braunfels is served by two competing systems. Resolute Health Hospital at 555 Creekside Way, part of Baptist Health System, opened in 2014 at roughly 372,431 square feet. CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital - New Braunfels sits at 628 North Union Avenue. Medical development has concentrated around the Creekside area and the State Highway 46 corridor.
Comal County has been among the fastest-growing counties in the United States for several years running, and the medical leasing market has not kept pace. This is the tightest medical submarket we track in the region, and one of the most expensive. For a practice, the practical consequence is simple: the right suite does not sit and wait, and neither should you.
In a market with very little available medical space, the twelve to eighteen month runway we recommend generally is not enough. Practices that do well in New Braunfels start looking further out and are prepared to move when something surfaces.
Resolute Health and CHRISTUS Santa Rosa compete here, and which one your referral relationships run through can reasonably drive which side of town you locate on. That is a bigger factor here than in a market with a single dominant system.
Comal County's population growth is the underlying driver, and it arrives ahead of medical supply. A practice that establishes here early tends to capture more than its share, which is exactly why the space is competitive.
New Braunfels is about thirty-five minutes from our downtown San Antonio office, which means we can tour it the same day rather than treating it as an out-of-town market. Very few healthcare-focused brokers cover it at all.
Common Questions
It generally runs above the San Antonio metro average, which surprises people who expect a smaller market to be cheaper. Low availability and sustained population growth are the reason. Budgeting from San Antonio numbers will leave you short.
Further ahead than in San Antonio. In a market this tight, the constraint is not negotiating leverage, it is whether anything suitable exists when you need it. Eighteen to twenty-four months is more realistic for a specific requirement.
Follow your referral relationships. In a two-system town, proximity to the system your referrals run through is worth more than a marginally better rent across town. If your practice is patient-choice rather than referral-driven, then traffic, visibility and parking matter more than either campus.
Part Of A National Healthcare Practice
In July 2026 Partners Real Estate acquired Crown Tenant Advisors, an Atlanta-based firm specializing in tenant and buyer representation for healthcare practices, and launched Partners Healthcare Services, serving clients in the medical, dental, and veterinary sectors. Crown was founded in 2009 by Andrew Riepe and built its practice on the tenant and buyer side rather than taking landlord listings. We are the San Antonio and South Texas arm of the practice.
That matters when your practice grows past one market. Partners was founded in 1997 and reports more than 300 professionals, with offices in San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Atlanta. The healthcare practice has people on the ground in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Indiana, and Florida, and Partners is expanding across the Carolinas, Nashville, and the Florida markets.
And where we do not have an office, we do not hand you to a junior broker in a branch. We bring in the best broker in that market, whatever firm they work for, and run the assignment with them. One relationship covers your second location, whether it is across 1604 or across the country.
