  1. Yep, that is King William, my (hopefully) future home. I found these pictures on the web.
  2. There's 8 buildings in total that make up this project, the rendering only shows three, so it's hard to tell if there will be retail, though there will be a grocery store and a restaurant. The previous development had retail included and I'd venture to bet that the new developers intend to have some as well.
  3. Update: The Fox Photo building was demolished yesterday and the Snow White Cleaners is schedule for demolition on January 7th.
  4. This is the abandoned Villaje del Rio development on Broadway near Jones Street. Ed Cross bought the development and as you can see gave it a new design and a new name. Broadway Lofts Thanks to Andres for including these images on his River North site.
  5. Suburban San Antonio Midtown area (the domed building is the Jewish Temple Beth-El) The Enclave, high-rise living in the heart of suburbia (well, older suburbia) in North Central San Antonio Building in northwest San Antonio near Callaghan and Loop 410, 8 miles from downtown Close up of that building Suburban housing in far Northwest San Antonio, near I-10 More far Northwest suburban San Antonio More suburban living on the far North Side Wurzbach Tower in the South Texas Medical Center some 11 miles northwest of downtown Freeway shot of on the Northwest Side -- De Zavala Road and Interstate 10 Insane amount of signage on the NW side. Crane in the background constructing mid-rise hotel Midrises on the NW side Suburban retail in the foreground and Hill Country living in the background Another building in North Central San Antonio Same as above View of buildings in North Central San Antonio Cluster of buildings near the Loop 410 and San Pedro intersection (Both locations, where shot and what's shot are 10 miles from downtown) Downtown skyline seen from 10 miles northwest Downtown skyline from the Great Northwest Interchange COX Radio building on the NW side Views of some of the metro area from the Tower downtown: Fredericksburg looking toward the Medical Center Medical Center Northwest San Antonio North Central SA including the 281 corridor and the airport as well as The Web interchange (410/281) North Central SA with the building cluster in the San Pedro and 410 area (with a good view of the peaks of Camp Bullis on the far, far NW side) The End
  6. Taken and posted by Paul aka Boquillas from SSP. Pictures are in order from 1. Downtown, 2. Suburban Metro (mostly northwest, far northwest and north central) and and 3. Suburban metro from downtown. Downtown San Antonio
  7. Yes, Blue Star would be included in Southtown. King William would also be included in Southtown as well. As for the metal buildings, those are the Blue Star Art Silos and they were used as work spaces and gallery spaces and sometimes residential units, for the artists who used them as work spaces and galleries, until recently when they were fenced off and tenants had to vacate. The reason, that area is set to become the Big Tex mixed-use development.
  8. SA basically had the same amount last year as well.
  9. Old article but I thought I'd respond. San Antonio is home to 7 billionaires, not 3.
  10. FYI... the large construction site at the far right of the 2006 aerial is the construction of the 250 million Methodist Stone Oak Hospital.
  11. Some more Stone Oak: These were posted by another poster on another forum a year ago. This is Stone Oak Parkway. Traffic is heading south towards Loop 1604. Downtown skyline can be seen. A little further down Stone Oak Parkway. Still driving south towards Loop 1604. Stone Oak Medical Center can be seen to the left. Here's a comparison of the southern portion of Stone Oak: 1995 2006
  12. I'd say Stone Oak. Stone Oak isn't as far though (15 miles), but fits many of the same characteristics as The Woodlands. They're both master planned communities that have grown to be 50,000 plus populated areas. Though the Woodlands was developed probably 10 or fifteen years before Stone Oak. Actually, Stone Oak didn't really begin to take off until the mid 1990's from what I've been told. In 1995 there was a mega church (Cornerstone), a few subdivisions, hardly any retail or office and no medical space. But now there's so much medical space in Stone Oak, it's dubbed the Second Medical Center of San Antonio. There's tons of office construction going on and much more office buildings now than ever. As for retail, boy does Stone Oak have it. From the boutique shops to the retail shopping centers. There's one development that will feature an Emeril Lagasse restaurant, 3,000 seat event center, 18-lane underground bowling alley and 3 story aquarium planned for Stone Oak.
  13. Monterrey Village Location: Off 151 between Potranco (to the north) and 410 (to the south) Size: 300+ acres Details: Three Million Plus Square Feet Mixed-Use Development: Included in the three million square feet will be retail, medical, office, residential (condos and apartments), a hotel and a school. Construction on phase I has begun and the first medical and office buildings should be up by March or April of 2008 with residential units close behind that. Having RTKL design Monterrey Village, should make for something interesting.
  14. Well, considering LA, Miami and Houston all have Taco Bells, I don't think it matters what they serve, people will eat it. Also, I think it's a bit illiberal of you to make that comment. First, the word "they", whatdafux? Second, because a person is listed as Hispanic they only eat true Mexican food? It'd be like asking if New Orleans has any Popeyes because you'd want to know if people would want to go to a chain restaurant doesn't serve true southern food.

  16. The Pearl today. Not literally today. lol Aveda Institute (one of only two in Texas) Farm to Table restaurant Culinary Institute of America (the only one in Texas) Can Recycling building; now a residential complex. FYI, the old Pearl beer can was replaced with a can that has the new logo
  17. Size: 22-acres; 1.2 million square feet Location: North of downtown Details: Redevelopment of old Pearl Brewery to include a mix of residential, retail, office and work.
  18. Sunset Station at night is cool, there's also a Ruth's Chris at Sunset Station as well as other various bars and restaurants. Yes, why do you ask?
  19. Consisting of 3 four-story buildings, 205 apartment units, 2 live/work units, 3 courtyards and a multi-story parking structure. Eighteen Hundred will be one of many new developments, including the Pearl Brewery redevelopment, for the now established Pearl District. Location:
  20. I was born in LA and lived there until I was 17. I think I can count on one hand the number of times I heard "south side" used to describe South LA/South Central and it was also a new transplant or someone visiting.
  21. Trae at SSP, Trae at SSC and Gorilla at C-D. You said X was undesirable. I responded. The response you gave to my retort is what you quoted. You're implying the same sentiment as your "X is undesirable."
  22. Read your posts. So you're not the same Trae and Gorilla that I've conversed with on numerous other forums?
