🛍️ Retail Explosion = More Buyer Momentum

Here’s the headline: big-name retailers are planting roots across the Valley, boosting both community and buyer interest.

• In McAllen, a new 109,000-square-foot retail hub is underway featuring Burlington, Ross, DD’s Discounts, and Five Below.

• Weslaco just landed a multi-million-dollar Sam’s Club warehouse and gas station, bringing over 100 jobs and plenty of energy to the local economy.

✨ Why it matters: These developments mean more excitement, convenience, and long-term appeal for nearby homes.

☕ Coffee Culture Hits Rio Grande City

• 7 Brew Coffee, a fast-growing drive-thru chain, is bringing its neon-lit, quick-stop kiosk to Rio Grande City early next year.

This is about lifestyle, community, and amenities—all strong selling points for both buyers and investors.

🎓 UTRGV Turns 10: A Decade of Local University Growth

• UTRGV is celebrating its 10th anniversary with more than 34,000 students, 60,000 degrees awarded, expanded medical programs, and even a Division I football team.

📈 Still Cool (But Steady) in McAllen
