This week, construction barricades were placed around the parking lot bound by North Main, West Pecan, Soledad and East Travis streets, where Weston Urban has begun preliminary work on its 32-story luxury apartment tower. On Saturday, parts of the lot’s surface had been punctured by lighter construction machinery.

The barricades were positioned around the lot earlier in the week, said tenants of the shopping strip across North Main Avenue.

Weston Urban’s plan to build the most ambitious residential project in downtown San Antonio’s history first surfaced in late 2020. Since then, it’s been one of the most anticipated developments in recent memory.

Projects of this scale, in terms of number of units, usually take two years to complete.

Good to see some dirt turning. I'd imagine we'd need to see some road closures and some more city wide approvals before we see larger work start.

Work has certainly already begun... there are massive mountains of earth currently being removed by multiple excavators. The asphalt from the previous parking lot is no longer there.

Fantastic, this one needs to move from "proposed" to "under construction".

Wouldn't a webcam be nice? Is there one in downtown SA besides this one?

Saw this on IG today. Not sure what kind of crane it is (if it is a crane) but there's definitely more work going on.

jkill34 · #**274** Posted **Apr 4, 2022, 7:24 PM**

Looks like part of a crane is on site.

I second this, and strenuously request the same treatment for Floodgate.

My apologies skyscraper forum fans!
I usually do more photos of the construction projects. Sadly been real busy with my full time job and my photography wedding business. I will do my best to get some more updates soon.
