Kimpton San Antonio Celebrates On-Schedule Topping Out

Celebrating the completion of a large construction milestone, the Kimpton San Antonio-Live Oak is now officially one step closer to opening its doors. Last week, the building marked its ‘topping out’ ceremony to signify the erection of the building’s final steel beam. Amid great excitement and fanfare, the event delighted all who attended, heralding the dawn of a new era for one of the city’s most anticipated hotel developments.

1. A Milestone Achievement in San Antonio: Kimpton San Antonio Celebrates Topping Out

On 18th September, Kimpton San Antonio the first-ever ITEX-owned ground-up construction project, celebrated its topping out ceremony. The project which broke ground in December 2018, is a milestone achievement in the local landscape of San Antonio.

The 12-story boutique hotel located at the thriving Broadway corridor offers 221 guest rooms and a robust list of amenities. At the topping out ceremony, ITEX Group Vice President of Development, Art Montemayor, had the following to say:

• “It is exciting to be part of such an innovative project, not only to the City of San Antonio, but also to South Texas”
• “We are confident that the Kimpton San Antonio will be a great addition to Broadway.”

The hotel showcases a remarkable design with its upmarkets materials and distinctive surroundings. The 37-minute journey from the San Antonio International Airport will take the visitors to one of the Texas’ premier vantage points. Guests will also be able to experience some of the city’s gems such as the renowned Riverwalk, The Alamo, and the vibrant culinary scene San Antonio offers.

Kimpton San Antonio strives to make customers stay better and brighter than before through its smooth registration process, superior decor and equipment that will satisfy the needs of travelers. The hotel is now more than 80% complete and will offer its first customer experience in early 2021.

2. A Glimpse at San Antonio’s Growing Skyline: An Unforgettable Moment at Kimpton

San Antonio is known for its vibrant culture, diverse history, and, of course, its developing skyline. On a recent sunny evening, my friends and I took a trip up to Kimpton, an outdoor observation deck, for a glimpse of the city’s skyline at sunset. It was a beautiful, unforgettable visit that I wouldn’t soon forget.

As we stepped out onto the observation deck, we were awestruck by the 360 degree view of the city. The sun was slowly setting, casting bright gold and pink hues across the horizon. We watched in awe at the various skyscrapers emerging from the skyline, each of them encasing the city’s boundless potential. We were particularly mesmerized by the striking cylindrical glass building nearby, which shone brightly in the setting sun.

• The View: From Kimpton, we had a breathtaking view of the city.
• The Ambience: Watching the sunset from the observation deck was very calming.
• The Glass Building: Our attention was caught by the cylindrical glass building nearby.

3. Construction Taking Flight in Alamo City: Kimpton San Antonio Celebrates On-Schedule Topping Out

San Antonio’s skyline is being transformed in more ways than one. Construction of the Kimpton San Antonio hotel is officially taking flight, as the project is on schedule and looking to a topping out ceremony to celebrate its bright future.

• Immensely Historic Building: The building itself will stand atop the corner of Alamo Street and East Travis Street, just steps away from the Alamo and San Antonio’s vibrant Eastside.
• Amenities and Accessibility: Built in 1883, the historic building still features its original façade but brings fresh new life to downtown with its modernized amenities. The hotel is dedicated to providing the best of both worlds: lively amenities with easy access to all of downtown.

The Kimpton San Antonio is a thoroughly modern take on tradition and a testament to San Antonio’s rich history, which makes its imminent topping out of even more significance. With the city so eager to see the finished product, the entire team is excited to welcome San Antonio to the magic that is the Kimpton San Antonio.

On the Rise!

San Antonio is celebrating a noteworthy event – the topping out moment of the new Kimpton hotel. This exciting event was 13 months on the making and is a grand bonus to the already beautiful skyline of the city. The sun gleamed upon the 130 foot tall structure as the last steel beam was placed atop, amidst loud cheers.

The construction of the high-end, luxury hotel involved a meticulous process that involved the integration of different components. From site excavation to completion, the construction team worked tirelessly to build the firm foundation of what will eventually become an architectural marvel. Being one of the tallest buildings in the area, the significant specs of this structure include of:

• A modern curved façade combining glass and steel
• 745 luxury guestrooms
• Multitude of dining and nightlife venues
• 62,000+ sq ft of meeting and event space

The locals have highly praised the success of the construction team residing on this project and are looking forward to the new center of attraction that brings grandeur to the area. The Kimpton San Antonio Riverwalk is scheduled to be complete by late 2021 and will be an iconic benchmark of the city’s skyline.

The construction of the new Kimpton San Antonio hotel marks a significant milestone in the property’s development — a monumental achievement that celebrates not only the newly built facility, but also the determination of the workers involved. From the ground up, the Kimpton San Antonio hotel has been a group effort, and its on-schedule topping out is a testament to the tenacity of all those who have worked so hard to make this project a reality.
