$575M Lone Star Brewery Redevelopment Proposed in San Antonio
Southstar’s proposal would turn the former brewery and nearby industrial land into a riverfront district with housing, hospitality and public space.
The former Lone Star Brewery could become the center of a new San Antonio neighborhood under a $575 million redevelopment proposed by Southstar.
The developer’s vision extends across approximately 57 acres, bringing the brewery complex and surrounding industrial properties into a district of homes, shops, restaurants, workplaces and public spaces.
Housing would form a substantial part of the plan. Approximately 1,500–1,800 residences are proposed, including rental apartments, townhomes, single-family homes and live-work space for artists. Commercial uses include approximately 174,370 square feet of retail and restaurants and a 157-room hotel.
Restored brewery buildings, parks and trails would connect the new development to the area’s industrial history and the San Antonio River.
Southstar is seeking approximately $63.75 million in tax-increment funding alongside other infrastructure financing. Initial road improvements could begin in 2027, with the district taking shape in phases through 2040 or beyond.
