Reimagining the next chapter for the c. 1929 Tower Life Building is a singular opportunity to leverage our decades of experience in the adaptive reuse of legacy buildings in downtown San Antonio. We are delighted at the prospect of bringing this landmark building into fresh focus: reintroducing the Tower Life as a premier downtown address and residential community.

“Preserving the architectural fabric of our historic downtown is baked into our DNA as a firm,” notes Jim Bailey, senior principal and active advocate for walkable streets. “Bringing more people to live downtown through multifamily adaptive reuse of legacy buildings is a win for preservation, and a bigger win for a livable downtown.”

Our innovative modular housing solution based on shipping containers was a rapid response to the lack of available worker housing during the Eagleford Shale boom. Prefabrication from sustainable resources made the project feasible, and its rugged industrial character suits the site – familiar as a westbound train in the distant landscape.
