Weston Urban has approached property owners close to the northern portion of San Pedro Creek about purchasing their property for a stadium.
They are not interested in selling, at least for now. The land’s value has risen and “it’s going to keep going up,” Toomey said. The Bexar Appraisal District values it at $6.5 million. A study commissioned by the city in 2016 identified the area around Fox Tech and Weston Urban’s nearby land as possibilities. Other options included a parking lot near the Alamodome, the Institute of Texan Cultures and the University of Texas at San Antonio’s downtown campus.
Weston Urban, which was started by Rackspace Technology co-founder Graham Weston, has renovated buildings along Houston Street with office space for technology startups and retail. In 2019, it completed the Frost Tower, which was the first new office tower downtown since 1989. “We’ve put a lot of money into San Pedro Creek,” he said. “The creek’s really buzzing with a lot of activity. It would be great to see a ballpark on it.”
Is this the triennial downtown baseball stadium hoax? Would love to see it happen, but parking, public transportation and amenities are problematic.
