Weston Urban announced on Mar. 19 plans for the first phase of development around the proposed new San Antonio Missions stadium, which will include two apartment towers and an eight-story hotel near downtown San Antonio.
The project is significant as it marks a major step toward transforming the area into a vibrant neighborhood that extends beyond baseball games, aiming to create a mix of residential and hospitality spaces.
According to documents submitted to the city and first reported by the San Antonio Business Journal, Weston Urban’s initial filings detail a 27-story apartment tower at 309 West Travis Street and a 14-story building called The Yard Residences at 327 West Martin Street. Additionally, The Yard Hotel, with 160 rooms, is planned for the corner of Martin and Flores streets to serve both game day visitors and tourists. These developments are located near San Pedro Creek and represent the beginning of vertical construction tied to the stadium project.
Design plans indicate that the stadium will be composed of multiple structures rather than one large venue. The architecture will feature brick facades, metal paneling, and shaded entries intended to reflect regional materials while creating a pedestrian-friendly environment. The public entity overseeing this effort, the San Pedro Creek Development Authority—established last year by the San Antonio City Council—is expected to issue bonds soon to help finance construction. This authority will own the proposed $160 million, 8,000-seat stadium.
At its inaugural meeting in December, Weston Urban CEO Randy Smith said that including a hotel is important because it helps drive consistent foot traffic and room demand beyond just baseball games. The company has previously added density downtown with projects like The Continental Residences and the 32-story 300 Main tower; executives say these new buildings will be similar in height.
The Historic Design and Review Commission is scheduled to review these proposals in early April.
