Zoning and location make a big difference between those projects and this one.
This will likely have one ground floor restaurant and maybe a second retail space in the base of office and residential, be designed in the mold of nearby residential developments (if a bit more upscale looking befitting the "gateway to Southtown/King William" monicker), and that's it.

15mil is a lot to pay for something so pedestrian....
Andrew Goodman knew about this for almost a year I heard from a friend who knows him. As soon as I get any inside info on it I will let you all know. My friend is the same person who is trying to get the giant ferris wheel passed.
I just can't wait until that ugly Federal building and courthouse are torn town. I would love to see increased connectivity from Lavaca to Hemisfair through that space occupied by the two structures.

I completely disagree that they are ugly, I hope they are preserved. Especially the courthouse. I think they are both beautiful examples of 60's formalist architecture. The Federal building borders on Brutalism but I think it is still a highly interesting structure. They should both be saved and rehabilitated, and be built around, not torn down. It's rare to see such solid and monumental construction these days. We should do our best to preserve and celebrate our diverse architectural history.

If they can extend the building to street level that would be better or maybe a plaza connecting to the Indianola intersection with Cesar.
The Feds have made no plans to move out of the office building, and who knows when the new federal courthouse will be built. I suggest you develop some coping strategies if you really "can't wait" for them to be gone or repurposed, because all you can do is wait.
Also both those structures are cool and should stay.
This is embarrassing. What is the difference between this and a mile long neighborhood - has anyone seen Prue Rd or the Dominion area? It's horrible. But that's life. People got to live places.
Just another thing for morons that have no better things to do with their lives other than to b**** & complain. They don't care about San Antonio's future they only care about themselves.
