After dozens of residents opposed the demolition, a commission voted against a request to raze the Rich Book and SA Dye Works buildings.
A city panel denied the request by a local developer to demolish the San Antonio Dye Works building and the Rich Book building in the historic Cattleman Square district.A city panel on Wednesday denied the request by a local developer to raze two buildings on the West Side of San Antonio where attempts to redevelop other historic properties in recent years have stalled.
The buildings proposed for demolition have been owned since 2014 by an entity known as Master Property Partners led by Adelman and restaurateur Barclay Anthony. Success! You're on the list. Several potential buyers passed on the buildings, Adelman said, including the economic development organization Prosper West.
Photos in the report show significant water damage from roof leaks and cracks in the masonry walls. The plumbing is corroded and the air conditioning system is 20 years old. Lety Sanchez, co-chair of the Historic Westside Residents Association, said developers should not buy historic property in the area if they aren’t going to maintain it.
“We have not been able to make any viable … just even remotely reasonable rate of return on any project that we’ve tried to conceive of over these 10 years,” he said. Still, Commissioner Jeffrey Fetzer said approval for demolition is “premature,” and several commissioners agreed that Adelman had not provided enough information about his replacement or redevelopment plans.
