Fulcrum Development and GrayStreet Partners have received early approval from the Historic and Design Review Commission (HDRC) in San Antonio for their 15-acre campus project, known as Broadway East or the BESA District. The developers plan to create a mixed-use development with 1.8 million square feet of retail, hospitality, multifamily, and office space on currently vacant land across from Pearl.
According to the San Antonio Business Journal, Shop Companies will handle leasing for the heavily retail-focused project which will feature home furnishings, fashion brands, wellness and beauty services as well as heritage brands. The developers are also seeking a grocer to join the BESA District.
The first phase of construction is expected to be completed by 2026 with New York-based Kohn Pedersen Fox and Austin-based landscape architect dwg. leading design efforts.
However before construction can begin,the developers must return to HDRC for final review.
