Morgan's Inclusion Tunnel in San Antonio, TX

A new 13.5-foot diameter accessibility tunnel is being constructed at 5235 David Edwards Drive in San Antonio. The project, filed under the name Morgan's Inclusion Tunnel, is a new construction effort for Morgan's Wonderland. It covers a total area of 36,760 square feet and is estimated to cost $1,400,000.

The work is privately funded and located on private land for private use. Gordon Hartman is the owner of record, while Stephen A Meyer serves as the registered accessibility specialist. The project was registered with TDLR in October 2026, and plan review is pending. Construction is scheduled to begin in November 2026.

Project Scope and Economics

The estimated cost of $1,400,000 places this project above the median estimated cost of $600,000 for new construction filings in Bexar County. The size of 36,760 square feet exceeds the county median of 6,358 square feet. However, the computed cost per square foot of $38 is below the county median of $115 per square foot.

The scheduled build window is 365 days, which is longer than the county median of 207 days. Completion is targeted for November 2027. This timeline and scale distinguish the project from typical local filings, reflecting the specialized nature of the accessibility infrastructure being built.
