Where you can find the soul of the Southside.

Many decades ago, a property was purchased on the corner of Southcross and Quintana with the intent of bringing a business of value to the South San Antonio community. 

After years of cleaning and fixing and tinkering, Colao Plaza opened in 2021. We are a Latino family-owned retail space that offers small businesses the opportunity to have a storefront and 

sell cool things. 

If you are interested in renting a spot, we have several different lease options. Find the best one for your small business!

Across America, long-forgotten commercial streets are filled with deteriorating buildings, empty storefronts, bad streets, and sad neighborhoods. That is what happened to our corridor. Now, with the help of our neighbors, we are re-building the historic Quintana neighborhood, brick-by-brick, bootstrap style. We are one of the first businesses to open up shop in the neighborhood. Visit us, buy from one of our local shops and vendors, and contribute to our dream of revitalizing the Quintana Neighborhood.
