Major Rock at La Cantera project a go after long delay, UT Health key tenant
Plans for a major multistory medical development at The Rock at La Cantera, first revealed well over a year ago, have advanced.
The project will span 135,000 square feet and include a three-story building housing medical and research spaces, as well as an adjoining multilevel parking structure.
According to a new filing with the state, work on the approximately $17 million development is slated to begin in early July and be completed by summer 2026.
I first reported in January 2024 that UT Health San Antonio planned to occupy approximately a third of the structure's 60,000 square feet, and construction was initially scheduled to begin in the first half of 2024.
UT Health San Antonio has confirmed it still plans to lease approximately 20,000 square feet in the building and that its specific research activity plans for the space are not yet finalized. UT Health San Antonio anticipates moving into the building in 2027, pending project completion.
The San Antonio Spurs broke ground on the 45-acre Rock at La Cantera development, a planned $500 million mixed-use campus, in late 2021. The medical building, which will serve as another key anchor for the larger development, is slated for a site adjacent to the Spurs' Victory Capital Performance Center.

Lincoln Property Co., which is leading the medical building development, had not yet confirmed updated project details, including a new construction timeline, as of press time.
Spurs Sports & Entertainment noted the construction timeline in the new state filing was accurate based on the latest updates.
Much has happened on UT Health's main campus since plans for The Rock at La Cantera project were first revealed.
In March 2024, Dr. William Henrich, the longtime president of UT Health San Antonio, passed away. Roughly five months later, the University of Texas System Board of Regents cleared a path for UTSA and UT Health San Antonio to merge.
Spurs Sports & Entertainment CEO R.C. Buford indicated from the outset that the project could have a significant impact on the region.
'The opportunities for research, learning and innovation within this building are endless and having a world-renowned academic medical center like UT Health San Antonio as its anchor sets a standard of excellence for all other tenants to follow,' he said.

Do Wall Street Analysts Like Walt Disney Stock?
Burbank, California-based The Walt Disney Company (DIS) operates as a global entertainment company. Valued at $214.9 billion by market cap, the company's businesses include media networks, parks and resorts, studio entertainment, consumer products, and interactive media. Shares of this entertainment giant have outperformed the broader market over the past year. DIS has gained 27% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 16.6%. However, in 2025, DIS stock is up 7%, compared to the SPX's 7.8% rise on a YTD basis. More News from Barchart With UnitedHealth Under DOJ Investigation, Should You Buy, Sell, or Hold UNH Stock Now?

Zooming in further, DIS' outperformance looks less pronounced compared to the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLC). The exchange-traded fund has gained about 26.7% over the past year. However, the ETF's 11% gains on a YTD basis outshine the stock's single-digit returns over the same time frame. Disney's outperformance is driven by strong Q2 earnings, streaming momentum with 126 million Disney+ subscribers, and growth in domestic parks and experiences. The company also expects double-digit segment operating income growth in Entertainment for fiscal 2025, which is expected to fuel the rally and positive analyst sentiment. On May 7, DIS shares closed up by 10.8% after reporting its Q2 results. Its adjusted EPS of $1.45 exceeded Wall Street's expectations of $1.18. The company's revenue was $23.6 billion, beating Wall Street forecasts of $23.1 billion. DIS expects full-year adjusted EPS to be $5.75. For the current fiscal year, ending in September, analysts expect DIS' EPS to grow 16.3% to $5.78 on a diluted basis. The company's earnings surprise history is impressive. It beat the consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters. Among the 28 analysts covering DIS stock, the consensus is a 'Strong Buy.' That's based on 21 'Strong Buy' ratings, two 'Moderate Buys,' and five 'Holds.' This configuration is more bullish than two months ago, with 20 analysts suggesting a 'Strong Buy.' On Jul. 29, Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. (MFG) maintained a 'Buy' rating on DIS with a price target of $138, implying a potential upside of 15.9% from current levels. The mean price target of $132.64 represents an 11.4% premium to DIS' current price levels. The Street-high price target of $148 suggests an upside potential of 24.3%.

Suit alleges fraud on Oklahoma's $2.5B Disney-sized theme park
This story was originally published on Construction Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Construction Dive newsletter. The sole investor in the $2.5 billion American Heartland theme park and resort that failed to launch in Vinita, Oklahoma, has alleged fraud and psychological abuse from the developers, according to a lawsuit filed July 25 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma. In the suit, 91-year-old Gene Bicknell, who once owned a large chain of Pizza Hut franchises, alleges that promoters Richard M. Silanskas Jr., Larry K. Wilhite and Stephen D. Hedrick of Mansion Entertainment Group stole $60 million and caused him severe distress that led to a stroke last year. The suit, which asks for the investment back along with other fees, includes texts and emails from Silanskas and Wilhite impersonating messages from God. 'Silanskas and Wilhite executed a predatory conspiracy of psychological manipulation — convincing Gene, through fraud and impersonation, that God himself was commanding him both to finance the park's construction and to grant Silanskas and Wilhite two-thirds ownership over the completed venture,' the lawsuit reads. Developer Mansion Entertainment Group announced in July 2023 designs for the 1,000-acre Americana-themed development, including roller coasters, an indoor water park, a 300-room hotel and an RV park. The footprint of the 125-acre theme portion would rival Disney's Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, or Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, in size. At the time, Hedrick commented publicly that Bicknell was the sole financial backer, per the suit. 'The plan was to use Gene's money to build the American Heartland Project and then steal it, paying themselves handsomely along the way,' the suit reads. 'Silanskas already had a record of involvement in failed theme park projects that left empty-handed investors in their wake.' The RV area was originally scheduled to open in spring 2025, followed by the theme park and resort in fall 2026. Indeed, the RV area broke ground in 2023 but nothing more has been built besides a fence and a gravel road, according to the suit. Developers claimed that their design team includes former Disney Parks builders and Walt Disney Imagineers, but that was also a lie, the suit alleges. 'The groundbreaking was essentially the beginning and the end of the construction work on the entire Project,' the lawsuit reads. 'Innocent people lost money by buying up land near Vinita with property values inflated by news of a theme park that would never exist.' This is not the first time the project has been sued. Canadian design firm Forrec and Columbus, Kansas-based Crossland Construction both filed claims in May 2024 alleging that they were not paid for their work. At least five lawsuits or arbitrations have been filed by vendors, according to Bicknell's suit. Mansion Entertainment Group did not respond to Construction Dive's request for comment on the lawsuit.

Jim Cramer on Netflix: 'It's Going To Be Fine'
Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently talked about. When a caller asked if they should buy more of the stock, Cramer commented: 'Look… Let me tell you, this is sometimes, this is an anecdotal stock, and I think right now people feel like, I don't know, Netflix, what's on? Nothing. I was watching Amazon last night for heaven's sake, so that's what I think's causing it. Don't worry, it's going to be fine. They're smart fellas.' Photo by Thibault Penin on Unsplash Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) provides streaming entertainment, including TV series, films, documentaries, and games across multiple genres and languages. When a caller inquired about the stock in a June episode, Cramer responded: 'I mean, they are going to be the entertainment channel, so to speak, for the world. It's worth $542 billion, that makes sense to me. I don't want to double down because I think you might get an intraday swing at a point where you can buy some. But I'm not going to go against this company, which may be one of the best-run companies in the entire world, and I am not going to tell you to sell the stock.' While we acknowledge the potential of NFLX as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
