SAN ANTONIO, June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- USAA Real Estate Company ("RealCo") today announced that it has secured the first tenants for its WestRidge at La Cantera complex. The global headquarters of Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Harland Clarke, will occupy WestRidge One. The 129,016 square foot office building is the first phase of RealCo's 42-acre master-planned office park in San Antonio. The leading provider of marketing services, transaction solutions, education services, and intelligent media delivery will relocate its corporate offices in late 2014.

"USAA Real Estate Company is delighted to hand the keys of WestRidge One to one of San Antonio's fellow corporate leaders," said Len O'Donnell, chief executive officer of USAA Real Estate Company. "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."

Harland Clarke Holdings currently oversees three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Harland Clarke, Scantron and Valassis. These businesses provide products and services to some of the best known financial, commercial, retail, and educational organizations and brands in the world, generating $3.3 billion in annual revenue. The company's San Antonio roots date back to 1874 with the founding of the Maverick-Clarke Lithograph Company.

"We are proud of our San Antonio heritage and our continued growth in the global marketplace," said Harland Clarke Holdings CEO Chuck Dawson. "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."

With tinted glass and stone exteriors as well as interiors designed by leading architectural firm, Gensler, WestRidge One is a Class A, four-story, tilt wall construction built over 13 acres with 645 spaces of surface parking. In the tradition of USAA RealCo standards, the building which was developed with Patrinely Group, is designed to achieve LEED certification.
