The developer, who began demolition a week ago, recently gave area residents an update on the $93 million Friedrich Lofts project.
Credit:Hulking piles of cement debris and twisted steel are rising behind the former air conditioning plant facade on Commerce Street as demolition crews work to make way for a long-awaited residential development on the East Side. The $93 million Friedrich Lofts development is a public-private partnership project of the San Antonio Housing Trust and Provident Realty Advisors.
On Monday night, Dignowity Hill residents filed into a meeting room at the Ella Austin Community Center for an update on the project. One area resident asked whether the site’s previous use as a factory affects any possible contamination resulting from the demolition process. Until that work begins, an “excavator will be just slowly taking apart the building,” Stevens said. There won’t be blasting.
“Homeowners, in order to have development, you’re going to have inconvenience,” said Deborah McCoy, who described enduring major construction near her home close to St. Philip’s College. Stevens said he has been in contact with school officials about the project, especially with regard to planned road closures around the site. “So we’re working with them as much as we possibly can to make sure that they stay happy and the community’s needs are met,” he said.
