ULI/SA (POSTPONED) PREVIEW TOUR: Sunrise Sneak Peek at The Creamery
Join ULI San Antonio for coffee, tacos and an early morning sneak peek at plans for The Creamery, located at 815 E. Ashby St. on the San Antonio River.
Local developers Embrey Partners and Area Real Estate plan to transform the site of a former creamery and a self-storage facility into a $100 million mixed-use development. Area Real Estate, led by local developer David Adelman, will redevelop the former dairy plant built in 1929 into a 60,000 square-foot office and retail space. In July, Embrey Partners, led by Jimmy McCloskey, will begin construction of a 338-unit, six-story apartment complex with design features that incorporate the Borden building’s art deco architecture. Estimated completion is July, 2023.
The mixed-use plan also includes San Antonio River improvements and promotion of walkable neighborhoods with sidewalks and an elevated pedestrian bridge that connects the Tobin Hill community to the river and the Brackenridge Park Trail. The developers have worked collaboratively with Bexar County and the City of San Antonio, the Tobin Hill Neighborhood Association and the San Antonio River Authority to ensure a careful design that thoughtfully integrates our apartment community into the context of the surrounding community.
