Harland Clarke Holdings Corp., one of San Antonio’s oldest companies, has chosen a new global headquarters. The selected property is part of the master office park located at 15955 La Cantera Parkway, owned by USAA Real Estate Co. and developed in partnership with Patrinely Group. Wholly owned subsidiary Harland Clarke will also be part of the move.

“We are proud of our San Antonio heritage and our continued growth in the global marketplace,” said Harland Clarke Holdings CEO Chuck Dawson in a news statement. “Our company was built on values that are consistent with the character of this community. It’s been a great fit for 140 years. We believe that WestRidge One at La Cantera will provide the quality environment that will best support our future.”

WestRidge One is a 129,016-square-foot office building and represents the first phase of RealCo’s 42-acre master-planned office park in San Antonio. Designed by architectural firm Gensler and spanning 13 acres, it features tinted glass and stone exteriors, totals four stories and includes 645 surface parking spaces. The development is aiming to achieve LEED certification. WestRidge Two is scheduled to begin construction in the fourth quarter of 2014.

“We’re very proud of our development at La Cantera, which has rapidly become recognized as San Antonio’s most dynamic new business and commercial district. We’re confident that Harland Clarke Holdings and Harland Clarke will both find WestRidge One the consummate headquarters from which to grow and prosper in the years to come,” added Len O’Donnell, CEO of USAA Real Estate Co.

The property is within walking distance of the other La Cantera developments: the 500-room La Cantera Hill Country Resort, the Shops at La Cantera and the 322-unit luxury residential project The Residencies at La Cantera. The transaction was closed with Savills Studley representing Harland Clarke/Harland Clarke Holdings, Lisa Mittel and Chuck King of Travis Commercial representing the common interests of Patrinely and USAA Real Estate Co., and Dennis Tarro representing Patrinely Group.
