Market Analysis: The Heritage offers unparalleled perfection in the details of quality, an unbeatable
location in the heart of Northeast San Antonio, provides easy access to loop 1604 close to Randolph

resident as needed and continue to provide at least three resident activities per month. Each
employee will display the necessary tools including knowledge, ambition, and professionalism to
succeed while promoting MBS growth.

We will continue with the lease management plan now in place at the community. This
