Not sure where to ask this question as I can't find anything out about this building on the site.
Does anyone know anything about the proposed 12-story office structure (w/ parking levels) planned for 2100 Broadway? I just had some renderings sent to me with a budget request...

(Don't get yourself in trouble.)

Really? What a stupid response. You are assuming that KMACK has permission to distribute said pics.

I'd assume that there are confidentiality agreements that KMACK must adhere to, or else ruin his reputation.

I've heard of a building on that lot. But nothing ever anyone has released or talked about.

Very unnecessaryp post.

He was kind enough to send me the pdf that contains the renderings. It’s a very nice building, and if built will only add to the lower Broadway area of downtown.

micahinsa · #**5467** Posted **Jun 8, 2018, 7:22 AM**

Oh dear.

Have you guys really never heard the phrase “pics or it didn’t happen”?

On what planet has anyone ever said those words to you in a serious fashion?

Again, it was an unnecessary comment. If you want to go back and rephrase it, oh the morning welcome to edit your post.

Is this the Broadway and Grayson st. tower under development? This is from a source from an earlier article about the 20 story development..

That has its own thread.

The above seems to be something totally separate.

kmack · #**5471** Posted **Jun 8, 2018, 12:15 PM**

I guess it'll be something to keep on the radar. I do not have permission for public posting (although I haven't asked), nor do I have a way to link them here. Date on the design is shown as May 2018 and the 5 dwgs I rec'd are listed as not for "Not for regulatory approval, permit, or construction."

As I'm still kind of new here, I was just wondering if anybody had heard anything and if there was a thread about it already.

ETA: Although, there should be an assumption on the developer's part that once they send out design concepts for budgetary purposes, surely there will be some "leaks" of the drawings out to the public. I specifically did not receive a notice of confidentiality with the pricing request, and the pdf's came directly from a construction contractor. FWIW...

I've heard the joking expression, I laughed, you're not alone.

I too wish we could see photos of the development... SOON

Looks like things are starting to move on the 2100 Broadway building.

This is on the June 20th HDRC agenda.

sirkingwilliam · #**5475** Posted **Jun 8, 2018, 9:18 PM**

Since 2100 Broadway is a real development, I asked KMack for permission to post the renderings and he was kind enough to say yes. I started a thread for the 2100 Broadway project.

Interesting take on infill, or lack of, in San Antonio. I think most of us believe more New Urban mixed use development is needed in both the Urban Core proper, and inside Loop 410 in general.

Moved here from another thread, per SKW's request.

And this is just Larry Dotson's opinion.....

So, you don't agree that infill is needed? His main point was that the local government pays lip service to density, as opposed to sprawl, but doesn't actually follow through.

Or should I place you squarely in the pro-sprawl camp?

I've lived off Broadway below Hildebrand for 20 years. This is definitely the decade of Downtown. I've seen some smart infill and not so smart. I've seen first hand how cohesive neighborhood groups welcome, retard and shape infill within their realms. Code compliance is a joke and I'm not sure I believe that SA Tomorrow is comprised of community layers of input. Just because neighborhood representatives are there for these meetings, does not mean their input is considered. San Antonio is and, since the middle of last century, has been behind the times. Perhaps looking towards the mistakes of more progressive (infill and design issues) cities, we can learn from them and make better choices. SA is not Houston or Portland but it's the people that live through these growing pains and not necessarily the culmination of data that guides them. We are still new at this. We will get it soon and some harmony may once again be restored. Sadly, it has to be at an aged, single-family dwelling neighborhoods expense. PS. I still get pissed that the light rail proposed many years ago- traveling up Broadway- would already have been completed almost a decade ago. Imagine how things would be now...

When it's up to the voters, in a car-centric city like San Antonio people will usually vote to note have that .003¢ gas price increase to "pay for a boondoggle that I'll never use." It's backward thinking and sad, but they need to be convinced that it will actually help them in terms of eventual lightened traffic, air pollution, and things like that. They don't care about terms like "intelligent growth" because it means nothing to their wallets, and/or it doesn't immediately affect their lives. It's frustrating to those of us who do think about things such as intelligent growth, but it's a reality that has to be dealt with creatively in order to convince them to vote for something that you and I know will be good for the whole city.
