Yantis and Broadway Bank’s 15-Year Partnership

For more than 50 years, Yantis has shaped the infrastructure of South and Central Texas. With Broadway Bank by their side, they continue to pave the way for future growth.

For over half a century, Yantis Company has been a driving force in the construction of civil infrastructure across San Antonio, South Texas, and the Austin area. Founded in 1965 by John Yantis with just $1,000 and a vision, the company has grown into a full-service civil construction firm specializing in excavation, grading, utilities, paving, and drainage.

Yantis has left its mark on billions of dollars’ worth of projects, ranging from subdivisions and single-family developments to large-scale commercial projects, including the Dollar General Distribution Center and Stone Ridge Market. Today, as a third-generation, family-owned business, Yantis continues its founder’s legacy of integrity, quality, and partnership.

At the heart of Yantis’s success is a commitment to collaboration. With a team of experienced developers, licensed engineers, and construction professionals, the company regularly provides expertise in site selection, budgeting, and value engineering, saving developers more than $2.5 million in the last two years alone.

A Leader with a Vision

As Chief Operating Officer, Arnold Briones, P.E., oversees Yantis’s estimating, preconstruction, surveying, client relations, and construction operations. Briones, who has more than 17 years of experience in San Antonio land development, describes Yantis’s impact simply:

“Without what we do, people wouldn’t be able to live. We give everyone the everyday infrastructure they need—water, sewer, drainage, and streets for access. People don’t always realize it, but the neighborhoods they live in and the streets they drive on exist because of our work.”

A Trusted Banking Partner

For the past 15 years, Broadway Bank has been Yantis’s primary financial partner, helping fuel their growth and innovation. Briones describes the relationship as more than transactional:

“Broadway Bank has been awesome to work with. Anytime we call, they are ready and willing to help us. They’re extremely trustworthy and transparent. They are like family to us.”

Unlike larger, publicly traded banks, Broadway Bank’s local decision-making and responsiveness have been critical to Yantis’s ability to move quickly on projects.

“It’s easy to pick up the phone, make a call, and get answers. That’s what sets Broadway Bank apart,” said Briones.

From Broadway Bank’s perspective, the feeling is mutual. Charles Houston, Broadway Bank Commercial Banker, reflects on the value of the partnership:

“We’re proud to support Yantis, a business that has helped build Texas communities for generations. Our role is to provide the financial strength and flexibility they need to keep delivering projects that shape our region’s future.”

Building the Future Together

As Yantis looks to the future, continuing to shape the infrastructure that supports communities across Texas, their partnership with Broadway Bank remains central to their success.

For businesses seeking a financial partner they can trust, Briones offers a clear recommendation:

“If other companies are looking for a banking partner, we absolutely recommend Broadway Bank. They’ve been great to work with. Very transparent, always ready, and willing to ask us what we need.”
