Hemisfair Park is growing, growing, growing. Hot on the heels of a recent hotel announcement, slated for 2025, and under the same $340 million redevelopment plan approved earlier this year, the City of San Antonio Historic and Design Review Commission (HDRC) released sneak peeks of a 29-story residential tower and three-story retail building coming soon to the area.

Proposed by Post Lake Capital Partners in a public/private partnership (P3s) with the Hemisfair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation (HPARC), the new tower will land on Market Street, situated on roughly 2.14 acres and steps from downtown San Antonio attractions. Post Lake Capital Partners will develop the property in conjunction with FitzGerald Associates Architects.

“Residential development in the Hemisfair District is key as we prepare for San Antonio’s population growth,” said Andres Andujar, Hemisfair CEO, in a release. “We are replacing the density of the population that lived in the District before HemisFair ’68 to bring back the neighborhood and the vitality that comes from people living next to open spaces. Neighbors use the park daily and bring a sense of security to the area.”

With sweeping views of the San Antonio skyline, the 29-story residential tower will feature a mix of studio, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as an amenities deck and parking for residents and the public. The second building will become one of the largest retail concentrations in downtown San Antonio, connecting Civic Park to the River Walk and the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.

“We need to increase residential density in our downtown and we need boots on the ground to improve and create that neighborhood that we want,” Lori Houston, assistant manager of the City of San Antonio said in the release. “The great thing about Hemisfair is that we had time and patience, and we’ve been planning and executing for a decade.”

Construction of the mixed-use property is expected to begin in early 2023, with a goal to open the ground-floor retail spaces of each property in time for the 2025 NCAA Men’s Final Four.

Revitalization of the area started in 2015 with the Yanaguana Garden, which has since welcomed over 3.7 million visitors, the majority of whom are San Antonio locals. Civic Park is currently under construction, slated to open in early 2023 as part of the next revitalization phase to make the area an urban destination for locals and visitors alike.

“We are grateful to the City of San Antonio and our private partners for joining in the vision to create one of the ‘World’s Great Public Places,’” said Andres Andujar, Hemisfair CEO, in the release.

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.
