Hey maybe one of you guys can explain this to me....the parking lot of the new methodist hopsital on I-10 in Boerne was empty when I went by...is this because it hasn't opened yet or for some other reason? Also, can someone explain why Christus Santa Rosa is going to build to a hospital across the highway? I know Kendall County's growing but surely there aren't that many people to support two hospitals right across from each other...??

Does anybody know what the Rim is planning to do with all the land it has? I saw that they had so much land cleared and I'm wondering what they're putting there. And I'm not talking about the area that's supposed to be The Village at the Rim, I'm talking about the land they have outside of it, like further along the highway. Has it been affected by the financial problems too?
If you're referring to the area around Camp Bullis Rd I thought I read awhile back that they had some high-end car dealerships (i.e., Lexus, Acura) planned for that space. Given what the automobile industry has been going through the past couple of years, its pretty easy to understand how that could have stalled.
It is the city trying to escape the consequences of being a city
while still remaining a city. It is urban society trying to eat its
cake and keep it, too.

Éilan is trucking along, permits were pulled for building 7 of the multifamily portion of the site. Website has been updated.
They seem to be on schedule; the parking garages are being worked on now for the office space, and it looks like they're on target for a Spring 2010 availability. Website says overall completion is Jan-2012.

So I don't really know where to put this, but does anyone know if the NorthStar Mall redevelopment is in progress? I found some neat things on this website. http://www.bokapowell.com/#/retail/3/
also, more permits were also granted for bldgs. 6, 7, and 8 for Eilan's multifamily portion in addition to the ones pulled last week for 6 upper floors above the retail base.

Looks like they starting to work on the new parking garage at University Hospital. They have already ripped up most of the parking lot where I believe the garage is supposed to be.
If those renderings are true of NorthStar, then that Mall will be something else. The hotel would be a big hit for it. Very Kewl, Indeed...

A 103-room Hampton Inn will soon begin construction at Hausman Rd and 1604.
Cool...since I drive by there everyday it will be nice to see something....BUT...the day the service road on both sides of the loop in that area gets completely developed I will cry, and not tears of happiness. I like the 1604/Hausman/Kyle Seale, 1604/Bandera, and Helotes area I live in to feel like a smaller town that's detached from SA.

I grew up at the intersection of Babcock and 1604, when 1604 was a two lane road with stop lights you could walk across. I cried about it years ago. Now i just feels like San Antonio. What's shocking is how long full development has taken compared to the 281/1604 area, which took much longer to get going, but is now way ahead of this area.
