Target is constructing a $21.3 million, 148,356-square-foot store at Marbach Road and Loop 1604 on San Antonio's Far Westside. The store is in its final six months of construction after breaking ground in April, and Target did not respond to a request for information before publication.
Why it matters
The project marks the first new Target built in San Antonio since 2012, adding a major retail anchor on one of the city's busiest roads. It is expected to draw increased traffic to the area and to anchor a new shopping plaza.
The project carries a $21.3 million price tag for a 148,356-square-foot store, following a gap of more than a decade since San Antonio's last new Target opened in 2012. Target did not respond to requests for comment, so its plans for pricing, staffing and merchandise at the location remain unannounced.
The players
Target
Target is a major American general merchandise retailer headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, operating hundreds of stores nationwide.

Timeline
2012: The last new Target store in San Antonio opened.
April 2026: Construction broke ground on the new store.
March 19, 2027: Construction is scheduled to conclude.
Market Landscape
The Marbach Road and Loop 1604 project follows Target's 2012 opening in San Antonio, a gap of more than a decade before the chain returns to the city with a new build. The store will add a large-format retail competitor on the Far Westside, where new shopping plazas are forming around major arterial roads.
Shoppers on the Far Westside will gain a full-size Target within driving distance of the Shops at Dove Creek, reducing trips to stores farther across town. Traffic on Marbach Road and Loop 1604 is expected to increase once the store opens in early 2027.
The takeaway
A new large-format store on a busy corridor signals continued retail investment on San Antonio's Far Westside. Residents planning nearby errands may want to watch for the store's opening as traffic patterns shift.
What happens next
Construction is scheduled to conclude on March 19, 2027, when the store is expected to be complete.
