At a recent New Braunfels City Council Meeting, plans to redevelop a 150-year-old grain mill into a high-intensity project were discussed. The council gave preliminary approval to an unnamed developer for the project, which will be located near the Comal River and Tube Chute. The site is currently zoned for high-intensity mixed-use development, allowing the developer to transform over 9 acres of riverfront land into a diverse space featuring:
– A boutique hotel
– Restaurants
– Retail spaces
– Office spaces
– A 400-car parking garage
The rezoning approval comes with certain conditions that align with city goals, such as conducting a parking study and designing pedestrian-friendly areas. Additionally, setbacks will be implemented near residential homes and measures will be taken to screen loading docks and equipment.
According to Ashley Farrimond from the law firm representing the developers, part of their plan includes repurposing the existing silos on site in order to blend historic preservation with urban renewal.
This exciting redevelopment project at an old San Antonio grain mill was recently approved by New Braunfels City Council during their meeting. Plans include transforming this historic landmark into a dynamic mixed-use development situated along more than nine acres of prime riverfront property next door neighbors like Comal River & Tube Chute! With preliminary approval granted by council members last night (date), we can expect some major changes coming soon – including new additions such as:
-A boutique hotel
-Restaurants
-Retail shops
-Business offices
-A large multi-level parking lot accommodating up-to four hundred vehicles!
In addition there are several conditions that must met before construction begins; these include things like conducting thorough studies on traffic flow patterns around this area so we can ensure safety while also promoting walkability within our community’s design standards; implementing proper set-backs between nearby homes so noise levels stay low enough not disturb residents living close-by or screening off any loading docks or equipment used during construction. Lastly, we’re excited to announce that our plans include repurposing the old silos on site into part of this new design – which will blend historic preservation with modern urban renewal!
