by Tre Serrano

 

San Antonio’s business community just earned national recognition — and it’s great news for both job seekers and the local real estate market.

In its 2025–26 rankings, U.S. News & World Report has named three San Antonio-based companies among the Best Places to Work in the U.S.: H-E-B, Zachry Group, and Frost Bank. This recognition reflects not only the strength of these employers but also San Antonio’s growing appeal as a destination for professionals and families looking for both career and lifestyle opportunities.


🌟 H-E-B: A Texas Icon Continues to Lead

For many Texans, H-E-B is more than just a grocery store — it’s a community institution. But beyond its popularity with shoppers, H-E-B has once again earned national recognition for being one of the best employers in the country.

  • Recognized for career growth, competitive pay, and comprehensive benefits, H-E-B offers employees stability, upward mobility, and a company culture that fosters long-term success.

  • With thousands of employees across Texas, H-E-B's presence strengthens San Antonio's economy and creates ripple effects in local housing demand as new talent moves to the area for employment opportunities.

  • Its corporate headquarters in San Antonio helps anchor the city's downtown growth, contributing to both urban revitalization and suburban expansion.

🏗️ Zachry Group: Engineering Excellence

San Antonio’s Zachry Group, one of the largest privately held construction and engineering firms in the nation, has also made the list.

  • Known for its major infrastructure and industrial projects, Zachry offers strong job security, excellent compensation packages, and a focus on employee development — all qualities that appeal to top-tier engineering, project management, and skilled trade professionals.

  • As San Antonio continues to invest in infrastructure and development, companies like Zachry play a critical role in shaping the region’s growth while attracting talent to the city’s expanding job market.

  • With large-scale projects both locally and nationally, Zachry Group brings additional stability to San Antonio’s commercial real estate sector, especially in industrial construction, energy, and public infrastructure.

🏦 Frost Bank: Building More Than Financial Security

Rounding out the list is Frost Bank, San Antonio’s hometown financial institution, which earned high praise for its workplace culture, employee happiness, and strong leadership.

  • Frost Bank’s long-standing reputation for customer service extends into how it treats its workforce, with strong mentorship programs, excellent work-life balance, and competitive compensation.

  • As a major employer in the region’s thriving financial sector, Frost helps support the city’s real estate growth by creating stable, high-income jobs that fuel home purchases, new development, and long-term community investment.

  • Frost Bank’s headquarters also serves as a centerpiece of San Antonio’s downtown skyline, contributing to urban renewal and economic momentum.

 

💼 What This Means for San Antonio Real Estate

The recognition of H-E-B, Zachry Group, and Frost Bank as top U.S. employers is more than just a headline—it directly impacts San Antonio’s housing market, job growth, and long-term property values.

  • Job Stability Attracts Buyers: A strong local job market encourages more people to relocate to San Antonio, increasing demand for homes in desirable neighborhoods like Alamo Ranch, Stone Oak, Schertz, and New Braunfels.

  • Corporate Growth Fuels Development: Expanding companies create ripple effects in commercial real estate, retail, and infrastructure projects across the metro area.

  • Consistent In-Migration: With affordable housing compared to Austin, Dallas, and Houston, San Antonio remains a prime destination for professionals relocating for career opportunities.
