River North Master Plan

Photo
The Downtown San Antonio Community Development Corporation (or CDC), in partnership with the Downtown Alliance/San Antonio and the City of San Antonio, is working to create a mixed-use, mixed-income neighborhood immediately north of the downtown core in the area designated River North. With the development stimulus of the $70 million San Antonio River improvements project bisecting the zone, the CDC envisions the birth of a vibrant urban neighborhood in an area that has been long neglected.
To help ensure quality development in River North, the CDC has contracted with the Pasadena, CA-based firm of Moule & Polyzoides. Led by nationally renowned urban planner Stefanos Polyzoides, one of the founders of the New Urbanism movement, Moule & Polyzoides is crafting a master plan for River North. Based on both public input and the experience of other cities across the country, the new master plan will establish urban design principles and development guidelines to shape River North and prioritize funding from the already-established River North Tax Incentive Reinvestment Zone.
