Exclusive: Weston Urban pursuing land for potential sports stadium in downtown San Antonio

Weston Urban has lately approached at least two entities that own property near the northern end of San Pedro Creek seeking to buy their land while mentioning to them plans to build a sports stadium.
Both entities—the Artpace San Antonio arts nonprofit and the Toomey Family Limited Partnership—own property in the southern half of the block bounded by Kingsbury, Camaron, West Martin and North Flores streets on the east side of the creek, and south of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) headquarters and Fox Tech High School.
Late Thursday, Bexar County Commissioner Tommy Calvert released a statement in opposition of the stadium, as it would conflict with a separate project he’s been championing this year called The Link—an envisioned linear park that would connect the River Walk and San Pedro Creek Culture Park with a walking path along a waterway.
The block is one of seven sites highlighted in a 2016 report prepared for Centro San Antonio and the city by the Barrett Sports Group as possible locations for a minor-league baseball stadium. It’s worth noting that the site is also one that’s still viable, as others identified in the Barrett report have since been built on, or committed to for other developments.
