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 build a total of 1.8 million square feet of retail, hospitality, multifamily, and office space on the currently vacant land located across from Pearl.
According to reports from the San Antonio Business Journal, Shop Companies will handle leasing for this heavily retail-focused development which will feature home furnishings, fashion retailers, wellness and beauty brands as well as heritage brands. The developers are also seeking a grocer to be part of the BESA District.
The first phase is expected to be completed by 2026 with New York-based Kohn Pedersen Fox and Austin-based landscape architect dwg working on design plans for this project.
However before construction can begin,the developers must return to HDRC for final review.
