In this episode of Beyond the Bite, host Eddie Aldrete welcomes Mike Lynd, CEO of Kairoi Residential, for a deep dive into economic development and the pivotal opportunities facing San Antonio. Mike shares his personal journey from Florida to Texas and discusses how his family's business background shaped his approach to property development and community investment. The conversation highlights Kairoi’s impressive projects, such as the landmark 6G building and Waterline in Austin, and explores the impact of visionary economic planning on shaping vibrant, prosperous cities.
The discussion shifts towards the pressing issue of San Antonio’s downtown development, focusing on the upcoming November 4th ballot measures related to a new Spurs arena and proposed investments in the urban core. Mike draws on lessons from Austin’s economic resurgence and the importance of sustained, private-sector-led economic development. He explains how coordinated, long-term planning—coupled with catalytic projects like the proposed arena—can create unprecedented job opportunities, boost incomes, and revitalize the city center, using greaterSATX’s recent achievements as proof of what’s possible.
Mike and Eddie also clarify that the proposed arena deal leverages state and tourist dollars rather than local taxpayer funds. They make a strong case for embracing these investments, not only as a way to secure San Antonio’s status as a major-league city but also to support inclusive growth that uplifts underserved communities. With insights on the broader implications for the rodeo grounds, convention center, and local economic momentum, this episode is a powerful call to action for residents and stakeholders to recognize what’s at stake and for the people of San Antonio to invest in their own future.
