Weston Urban, the developer behind San Antonio’s Frost Tower, is set to begin rehabilitation work for a downtown high-rise apartment project that has been in the works since 2021. The developer will begin to renovate the old Continental Hotel building and the neighboring Arana building in August, according to recent filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation

The Continental building will be transformed into a 16-story, 255-room apartment complex at 332 W. Commerce St., San Antonio, TX 78207. The construction filing states that work will begin on renovating the ground floor for future retail, and then rehab the second and third floors for apartments. An additional 12-story structure will be added behind the building’s facade. 

The Continental Hotel property at 322 W. Commerce St. downtown has been vacant since 2016.

The Arana tract of buildings at 601 Dolorosa, San Antonio, TX 78207 will also be reworked for commercial space on the ground floor and office space on the second floor. The rehabilitation work for both projects has an estimated cost of about $11.2 million, not including the addition to the Continental building and a planned 351-space parking garage. 

Crews began foundational work on the property in September 2022, according to an older TDLR filing. This is just one of Weston Urban’s planned apartment and hotel projects, which also includes a larger 32-story apartment tower called 300 Main at 305 Soledad St., San Antonio, TX 78207 that the developer broke ground on in April 2022.
