2026 | AIA-SA Residential Design Award

100 Labor received the Residential Design Award for a Multifamily Structure by The American Institute of Architects, San Antonio Chapter (AIA-SA). This design award is particularly meaningful because the project aligns with our decades of groundwork in local neighborhood restoration. Two buildings form a new gateway between the high-density development at adjacent Hemisfair and the small-scale legacy San Antonio neighborhood of Lavaca. The 100 Labor residential community restores vitality to a keystone parcel of land, adding desirable downtown housing.

In the early 2000s, San Antonio College (SAC) saw the need to move beyond being a commuter only college and to build student and staff apartments. At the same time, their new master plan looked at creating a defined, traditional urban campus with clearly defined boundaries that respected its location adjacent to two historic neighborhoods. Tobin Lofts, a phase one intervention, is a mixed used, vertically integrated development defining the southeast corner of campus. Student services, apartment amenities, and commercial retail space front Main Street with residential stoops facing Crocket Park and along Evergreen Street.
