The city in 2019 acquired the 2-acre project site fronting North St. Mary’s Street between East Locust Street to the north and East Myrtle Street to the south.

The two-story station, an $18.2 million project, will serve the central city area and house several SAPD divisions. It will also bring to the neighborhood a community room and a small public park.

The San Antonio Historic and Design Review Commission — which reviews designs of city properties as well as downtown projects and those involving historic landmarks and districts — granted conceptual approval for the project without discussion Aug. 18.

The project team will return to the commission for final approval. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2022 and wrap up by the summer of 2023, weather permitting. For more, click here.
