Mayor Julian Castro addressed the media as the tour kicked off at the Cevallos Lofts, a 250-unit, mixed-use development near the start of the Mission Reach portion of the San Antonio River. Castro reiterated the strategy for housing first in the core, mentioning the goal to create 7,500 residential units downtown by 2020. Along with several residential units coming online, the mayor also pointed to the other projects expected to change the downtown landscape such as the Mission Reach expansion, the Tobin Center renovation, the convention center expansion and the HemisFair redevelopment.
“By 2020 you will have seen a real renaissance downtown,” he said.
After a quick look at a two-story unit at Cevallos Lofts, which boasted two room that each had master bathrooms and walk-in closets, the tour commenced. Most of the projects along the tour were not complete except for Cevallos Lofts, 1221 Broadway and part of the Can Plant apartments.
