Twin 22-Story Condo Highrises Announced for Downtown San Antonio.

[Architecture in Helsinki]

The two 22-story towers are expected to have attached garage parking, a business center, fitness facility, swimming pools and sundecks. The mostly one- and two-bedroom condos will include top-of-the-line appliances and high-end finishing touches. Townhouses adjacent to the towers are also planned.

This is very exciting seeing how this area of downtown is just outside the "inner loop" of downtown which will give our skyline a very different look.

That is great, finally more downtown housing and development, hopefully this might have a more modern design. Well, I guess one can hope...

Great news, looks like the condo boom is making it's way to downtown SA.

Sales began last week for the Vidorra towers. The developers hope to break ground by September 30th.

Presales have been underway for Vidorra since March 23, so far they have 45 of the 140 units reserved including one of the penthouse units.

Two of the smaller floor plans, the Laredo and the Victoria, already have sold out, sales manager Angela Rinehart said.

Construction will begin in September on one of the towers if presales reach 60%

Those are nice looking towers from the distance, but they need more work at street level to make them more people friendly.

ALSO it's law in the city of San Antonio that no building can be taller than the TOWER of AMERICAS (750 ft)

I don't know where you're getting your info but that is entirely untrue.

Wow is there a law. I disagee New Orleans has 10 times the historical bldg than Sa but it doesn't stop them from building hi rise. Aust in for a while could not build a building taller than the Capitol. SA get off your hinds. If Red -or Grehey want to build a bldg it would be up in an SA second

Baton Rouge has that exact same law or had it. I don't know if still applies though.

I was concern about that last comment myself. I had heard it from a reliable source or so I thought. I went ahead and contacted the Chief City Inspector via City Hall. He told me that he didn't know to his "knowledge" of any such restriction. Over the phone he sounded like he wasn't 100% positive either. So who knows really..
