The elements of park space and retail are there, but not in the way they describe. It certainly doesn't look comparable to the Pearl in that regard. As I said, hopefully I'm wrong. (And that is not an invitation for snarky retorts. I'm just stating that hopefully I'm wrong.)

I'm wondering of there are renderings anywhere? The site plan looks like crap, plain and simple, and not something that should be built in a such a historic and unique city as San Antonio.
And no amount of capitalizing or beer glass clinking will change that.
At the very least, surround the parking with the retail, and make it somewhat walkable. The site plan just looks like a bunch of parking lots and a little retail/office/residential.
