Downtown Reimagined. San Antonio city leaders have unveiled an ambitious plan to transform the downtown core into a vibrant, community-focused hub. At the center of this reimagining is a new sports and entertainment district, featuring a new Spurs arena, an upgraded Alamodome, and a land bridge that will connect downtown to the East Side. Additional highlights include an expanded convention center and a new convention center hotel, setting the stage for increased tourism and economic growth. The development also incorporates retail spaces, residential housing, and designated land for further development. According to city officials, portions of the project could be completed within the next few years, with the Spurs arena projected to be finished by 2030. The full buildout, however, is expected to span up to 15 years, marking a transformative era for San Antonio's urban landscape. Watch the City of San Antonio's video: https://hubs.li/Q02Z6zvZ0
