SAN ANTONIO - Building Renders - Google, etc.
Please post your San Antonio renders, massing models, you name it, of planned and under construction buildings.
I'll start it off by copying and pasting theOGalexd's post of The Mira and surrounding Pearl projects. Quote:

Super cool!

I'll get a few more angles of 400 Main and add them here later tonight!
Can do the lower broadway corridor too. |
Gonna do Lower Broadway tomorrow but here's some of DT (300 Main, Floodgate, Canopy, Thompson)
They're pretty rough, but gives an idea of the massing. The TOA angle makes me hope one of those lots by Hard Rock gets developed into something decently tall. It would really add to the density, but I'm sure HDRC will shoot that down lol. I think Weston owns some of the huge lots by 300 Main too, so I wonder what the plan for those are. https://i.imgur.com/YK2XVan.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/rwnO5hWh.png https://i.imgur.com/Bsk3eX1h.png https://i.imgur.com/JwnI0nOh.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/hGU1Gvlh.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/ICVT2Xfh.png |
Thanks for posting those!
I believe future tall buildings will most likely get built in areas farther away from the Tower and Alamo... like in Weston's properties or even the Broadway area between downtown and the SAMA. As a former New Yorker, I see great potential for city residentials in the undeveloped lots around Travis Park. They would have unobstructed views of the local area as well as a city park right outside their doors. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ho...!4d-98.4882521 |

Could have a mini-Bryant Park feel if that happened. |

There's a better model though, much closer to home. Specifically thinking of the many very nice bus terminals I've been to in Mexico: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termin...uses_del_Norte https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termin...ros_de_Oriente https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centra...tobuses_Puebla More like small footprint airports than anything else. Functional, but clean and easy to use, and safe. I certainly felt safer in any of the Mexican bus terminals I've been in than even walking in front of the Greyhound station in DTSA. |
^^ How quickly this thread got derailed. ;)

I'm just gonna put this here.

https://i.imgur.com/bGNoKYXh.png https://i.imgur.com/03M217ah.png\ Here's some with the Continental apts. Not gonna make a huge dent unless the final height is higher than it's listed right now, but better than nothing. |
Kimpton S. Alamo
https://i.imgur.com/p3US5Eph.jpg Edit: Just realized they updated the 3D view so a lot of the new developments are on there now. Those lots around Travis Park are crying to get developed lol. Would make such a big impact on the skyline. https://i.imgur.com/oname1Oh.png https://i.imgur.com/88lSVVmh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/C8BrfVJh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/trhm6Ath.png |

The lot that directly faces Travis Park is owned by the St Anthony, which they use for parking since they don't have their own garage. If it was a general public parking lot I'd say the odds of it being redeveloped are decent given the prime location, but since that's a critical parking lot for the hotel I can't imagine they're keen on losing such convenient spaces, even if it was just temporary during construction.
The other big lot there is owned by St Mark's. I am also not optimistic about that one since it's a church, but maybe someone will be inspired by the defunct St John's deal and make on offer to St Mark's. There is a smaller lot used for public parking next to the Radius Center on Martin, it might be just big enough for something like the Jones/Rio building. I guess that's the best bet for more development in that zone. There's also the bigish public lot at Broadway and 3rd, on the east side of the street, which is similar. |
Here's a *very rough* photoshop of how 300 Main is gonna look on the skyline. Overall I think it'll look good and break up the beige which is always welcome. Curious to see how the facade will look in real life when it's done. Shoutout Bilbao58 for the pic, hope you don't mind me using it for these!

We do need more towers! Hopefully, the downtown park brings that!! |
Hello,
If anyone is interested in me posting some screenshots I too have made some Google Earth polygons of all the current projects that I know of. They are all "hand drawn" on keyboard and mouse using site maps for reference (so they are a bit crude when compared to the others posted). But I did just add the new hemisfair hotel based on its site plans. |
