A recent influx of development, including a growing cluster of bars, has begun to give River North the character of a true urban neighborhood.
The River North area, seen in this image above Broadway, looking south, is “ready for its next adaptation, which is going to be a high-density residential, mixed-use neighborhood with office, retail and the like,” developer David Adelman said.commissioned by the City of San Antonio for the northern district of downtown, referred to as River North, described it languishing as “an unremarkable place in a remarkable location, characterized neither by great success nor by great failure.
He’s now rehabilitating a highly visible 1940s-era brick building at 1101 Broadway — at the north corner of Broadway and Jones — into 17,000 square feet of retail, enough to host four or five tenants, he said. He and his partners have signed a lease with a restaurateur, he said, declining to identify the tenant. The local dog grooming chain Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming will occupy one of the spaces.
More bars are set to come: Nick Marquez, an entrepreneur known for turning historic homes into hangout bars in Cibolo and Schertz, is importing his business model to the neighborhood. Last month, he bought a Depression-era home at 820 N. Alamo St., which he plans to renovate into a bar with a backyard patio area. It will be called Bar House San Antonio, evoking the name of Bar House, which he operates in Schertz.
“Everyone’s doing a great job there, building into something great. I just hope to add to the experience,” he said. “I feel like it’s super easy to get to. There’s so many different things in that area, without making you feel overwhelmed.”The Museum Reach extension of the River Walk has served as a catalyst for growth since it opened in 2010, spawning numerous apartment complexes, including Jones & Rio and the new Flats at River North.
Funded with $42 million from the city’s 2017-2022 bond, the River North portion of the project will be finished in June, according to. New bike lanes will open on Avenue B, a block north of Broadway, this month.
