“As with every multifamily project, we sought opportunities to build a truly worthwhile addition into the neighborhood. We set out to create a desirable new downtown address, while acknowledging surrounding heritage.” Billy Lawrence, AIA

Big Tex sidles up to the San Antonio River ecosystem restoration project, one of two major expansions to San Antonio’s famed River Walk. The buildings offset along the bend in the river, affording city skyline views. It energizes almost a half mile of reclaimed industrial acreage, transforming the site into prime riverbank real estate for apartments and restaurants. The Flats at Big Tex are directly adjacent to the Blue Star Arts Complex, a downtown draw.

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.
