Our companies are deeply rooted in San Antonio history, the Gittinger family having arrived in the 1850s as part of a group of German settlers. They continued the artisan businesses they knew from their homeland – construction, stone masonry – and gradually moved into insurance, mortgage and real estate, ultimately becoming one of the founding families of St. Mary’s University.

We were pleased to bring the real estate side of our endeavors back to life in 2009 as Gittinger Properties, and to add Bonnie’s company, Street Fund, LLC, to the group.
