Anyone have the particulars of that Medical Arts Plaza in the medical center? Address/location (intersection). Start date/end date. Anyone know who is working on it? Architects, construction companies and such? I don't think I have it added to Emporis yet.

Nice pics. Looks good. Now lets hope they build the other...

Thanks!

Yeah! Pictures of Vidorra!

Its on the 7th level now! they are working fast. The Parking garage is going to be huge...It looks like they are starting on the second tower also.
There are actually 3 cranes in this picture...

Great shots of Tesoro! From what vantage point are these taken? And how visible is it from 281?

As an aside, and I know this was mentioned in another thread, but did anyone catch the nighttime aeral shot of the Grand Hyatt during TNT's Spurs telecast? That was as an incredible view of downtown... even Vidorra was visible.

Those pics look like they're taken from Sonterra Blvd, about 1/2 mile NE of the 281/1604 intersection.

Judging from the visibility of those cranes when travelling on 1604, I'd say these buildings are going to be pretty dominant in the far north central skyline, depending on what kind of impact the Drury hotel and Agora Palms condos make.

Yes the Tesoro shots I took were off of Sonterra Blvd...behind the Best Buy or the Legacy Shopping Center.

Tesoro is visible from 281, and 1604.

I hope they really build the Vidorra II tower...because that area over by the alamodome looks tight...and if they build more residental towers or hotels over there it will make the downtown look cooler.

I just can not wait till the Broadway gets to the first or second floor....

JACKinBeantown · #**1092** Posted **May 29, 2008, 10:27 PM**

Now, that's the photo I've been waiting for. Thanks, ydoc14 & schriver. Does somebody else have one with Vidorra and more of the skyline?

Schertz1 · #**1093** Posted **May 30, 2008, 1:50 AM**

I was there - at the Broadway - over the weekend and it's overground now.

Here's a recent picture taken atop the building.

Aiphanes · #**1095** Posted **Jun 2, 2008, 4:54 AM**

How many stories is it at now?

Aiphanes · #**1096** Posted **Jun 3, 2008, 10:08 PM**

The next high rise condo in San Antonio?

The spot on Hidebrand and Devine

Koontz McCombs owns it and they are also building The Broadway.

The Vidorra looks so small in that picture...they really need the second tower. The Vidorra looks bigger up close but far away you can barely see it.

Even from BAMC on the 6th or 7th floor you can barely see it.

But it still looks tight!
