As if the multimillion-dollar San Pedro Creek renovation wasn't flashy enough, a new housing development is currently underway nearby. On June 28, the NRP Group officially broke ground on Acero, a 323-unit billed as "an upscale multifamily development" expected to be complete by spring 2021.

In a release, the developer highlights Acero's primo location just west of Southtown and King William near the Blue Star Complex, and with nearby access to I-10, I-35, and South Flores Street.

"We are thrilled to be offering housing of the highest quality in San Antonio, which has experienced incredible growth in recent years," says NRP cofounder and CEO J. David Heller. "Acero will add a unique living experience to an already vibrant neighborhood."

The new development will consist of five buildings across 10 acres, offering perks such as a resort-style pool, fitness center, grills and outdoor fire pits, and a dog park and pet wash. Other amenities include a 24/7 concierge, conference areas, bike storage, and something called a "cyber lounge."

"Acero will cater to everyone from young professionals entering San Antonio's hot job market to retirees looking for convenient, hassle-free living in one of America's most active cities," the release continues.

In catering to those San Antonians, residences will be apartment only, and comprised of a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Street and garage parking will also be available.

According to the release, NRP partnered with the San Antonio Housing Trust Public Facility Corporation to ensure that 50 percent of the 323 units at Acero will be made available to residents earning less than 80 percent of the area's median income.

"Acero is another example of NRP's commitment to meeting the housing needs of all within our community," said San Antonio City Councilman Roberto C. Treviño. "Housing is one of our most important initiatives, and it will be great to see a new residential community in this neighborhood that also provides an affordable component."

New multifamily community opens near Stone Oak restaurants and shopping

The new community offers 291 units.

A new multifamily community is now open to prospective residents in San Antonio. Greyson Luxury Living comprises 291 units at 1734 N. Loop 1604 West, with a focus on lifestyle amenities. But the location will be the main draw for many.

Apartment floor plans range from one to three bedrooms, starting at $1,317 for one bedroom and one bathroom, and working up to a base price of $2,611 for three bedrooms and two baths. The community's pet policy according to the website is: "We welcome all your furry friends at Greyson."

Residents will get reserved parking and a garage with EV charging stations, but it might not always be necessary to hop in the car. The apartments are directly adjacent to restaurants like Cover 3, Eddie V's Prime Seafood, and Blü Prime Steakhouse — not exactly everyday eats, but there's tons more at the Vineyard Shopping Center and the Stone Oak neighborhood's Blanco Market Shopping Center across the highway.

In addition to restaurants, the community is less than a five-minute drive from H-E-B Plus, Whole Foods Market, Target, fashion and furniture stores, and multiple fitness studios like StretchLab and LA Fitness.

A press release promises wood-style flooring, quartz and granite countertops, and ceramic tile backsplash. On the more utilitarian side, it offers single-basin sinks, kitchen islands, "spacious" pantries, a stainless-steel Energy Star appliance package, and washer and dryer connections. (Images shared by the complex so far appear to be more illustrative of the desired vibe than the actual space.)

Every floor plan also shows a private patio or balcony. The most expensive floor plan — the three-by-two — has a wraparound outdoor space.

For shared spaces, a resort-style pool with a tanning shelf (a very shallow area for placing lounge chairs) and bike storage encourage residents to get outside, and a dog wash station makes it easy to leave dirt and hair outside of apartments. There's also a fitness center, a clubhouse with wi-fi, elevators, and concierge services.

“We developed Greyson as a luxury multifamily community aimed to fit any type of lifestyle, and we are grateful for all of our partners that helped bring this project to life,” says Ed Garahan, partner and CEO at Carbon Companies, the development firm heading the project.

Carbon Companies also sold the Addison Medical Center Apartments, Ventura Ridge, Triomphe Apartments, and Pecan Springs Luxury Apartment Homes, with more in the works in San Antonio.
