History & Mission

Wayfinding1.jpg

The Downtown Owners Association was established in 1982 by a group of property owners who recognized the need for an organized group to protect their interests in downtown San Antonio.

DTOA was a principle partner with the City of San Antonio and VIA in the TriParty Project streetscape improvements, and created a public improvement district to pay for the private property owners' participation in the successful effort.

In 1994, the membership restructured the organization, broadening their involvement and the categories of membership to become the Downtown Alliance.

Today, DTA is composed of major property and business owners in the downtown area, and others who also are committed to downtown's revitalization.
