River Walk Pub Owners Plan Redevelopment
The team behind Waxy O’Connor’s Irish Pub is redeveloping the historic Loan & Trust Building into a mixed-use entertainment and residential complex.
The Loan & Trust Building, located at 205 Soledad Street, was purchased by the pub owners for nearly $8 million. Built in 1894, the building has been vacant for years and was once slated for demolition. The redevelopment aims to transform the building into a mixed-use space with apartments, bars, and restaurants. This aligns with a broader trend of revitalizing historic buildings in downtown San Antonio. The project is expected to cost around $48 million and is supported by city and county incentives. Completion is projected within 24 months, potentially reshaping the River Walk's landscape.
