Downtown San Antonio Could See $3B+ in Construction—If Voters Approve November Bond
San Antonio’s downtown is on the verge of becoming one of the largest active construction zones in Texas—if voters approve a proposed $220–$250 million infrastructure bond this November. The bond would fund critical upgrades around Hemisfair and I-37, laying the groundwork for the multi-billion-dollar Project Marvel redevelopment.
At the center of the plan:
-
A $1.3B–$1.5B Spurs arena
- $700M–$900M expansion of the Henry B. González Convention Center
- Renovations to the Alamodome and federal courthouse
- Private development across the district
The bond package includes highway ramp work, traffic signal upgrades, pedestrian connections across I-37, a 2,500-car garage near the Alamodome, and upgrades to Cesar Chavez Blvd. City leaders have said no property tax hike is planned.
Longer-term infrastructure plans—still without a price tag—could extend another 10 years beyond this first phase.
Why it matters for AEC firms:
This isn’t just one project. It’s a full pipeline. With multiple public and private funding sources—PFZ, TIRZ, venue taxes, leases, and Spurs equity—the financing strategy is layered but viable. Procurement could kick off in 2026 if the bond passes.
Stay connected with RHCA for updates on contracting timelines, RFP opportunities, and how to engage as plans move forward. The City Council must vote by August 18 to put the bond on the ballot.

City of Dallas Official Statement on Immigration
DALLAS - Dallas’ diversity is our strength and contributes to the economic and cultural vibrancy of our community. We will continue to serve all our residents without regard to race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, or other protected categories. That is not only the law but the right thing to do. The federal government is primarily responsible for enforcing immigration laws. The City of Dallas and the Dallas Police Department (DPD) will continue to be responsive to community needs and promote public safety for residents. DPD will continue to enforce city and state laws while upholding the constitutional rights of residents. DPD and other city departments are guided by the Dallas Welcoming Strategic Plan, which seeks to serve as a plan for civic, economic, and linguistic social integration and inclusion for Dallas’ diverse communities.
Currently, there are no changes to how the City of Dallas and DPD will provide services. This also means that if you are a victim of a crime, you have the right to report it, regardless of immigration status. The City of Dallas will continue to follow changes to federal or state law and will communicate if there is an impact on municipal operations through regular City communication channels, including the City of Dallas website, social media, press releases, and newsletters.
