REDWOOD CITY, Calif .– (COMMERCIAL THREAD) – Ohana Real Estate Investors (“Ohana”), a vertically integrated investment firm focused exclusively on full-service hotels, today announced the acquisition of La Cantera Resort & Spa, a luxury resort of 496 Keys located in San Antonio, TX from USAA Real Estate.

Located at San Antonio’s highest elevation point on 550 acres, La Cantera Resort & Spa is a pristine oasis with sweeping views of the Texas Hill Country and is close to San Antonio’s attractions and culture.

The resort has also received the coveted Reader’s Choice Award from Condé Nast Traveler over the past four years, a prestigious honor won by only a few of the world’s leading resort destinations.

“The acquisition of La Cantera not only advances our proven investment strategy, but also marks our entry into Texas with a premier resort that will continue to benefit from many demand drivers,” said Franco Famularo, director of investments at Ohana. “USAA Real Estate has made the resort a premier destination in Texas and North America, and we look forward to continuing this success under our ownership. ”

The villas also have a private pool and bar as well as an indoor bar and market.
