Phase I (Completed)

In June 2011, Council approved Merlone Geier Partners' application to reconstruct 16-acres of the 56-acre San Antonio Shopping Center with 330 apartment units, a 65,000 square foot Safeway building and three retail tenant buildings totaling 26,200 square feet at the corner of El Camino Real and San Antonio Road.

A one acre park is constructed on the Hetch-Hetchy right-of-way that accommodates a dog park, outdoor seating and an open grass area.

The Phase II project described below includes the property on the northern project boundary, which was originally approved for a 175,000 sq. ft. retail building. A hotel and office building with retail uses on the first floor was approved in this location instead.

Phase II (Completed)

In July 2013, Merlone Geier Partners submitted an application for a 9.9-acre Phase II development at the San Antonio Center. In December 2014, Council approved redevelopment which included approximately 121,000 square feet of commercial, retail and restaurants; a 70,000 square foot cinema; 397,000 square feet of office and a 167-room hotel.

• Removal of 5 Heritage trees;
• Amendments to the San Antonio Precise Plan to accommodate the additional TDR square footage; and
