Wheatley Courts Eastside San Antonio with $27M Phase Two

SAN ANTONIO – Eastside revitalization will take a step closer to fruition when phase two of the Wheatley Courts redevelopment breaks ground next month.

The $27 million project is a fraction of the Eastside Promise Zone, a community-wide push to spur economic, education, housing, employment and health care investment for the East Side.

The property was demolished September 2014 to make way for the new 417-unit, mixed-income community built with funds the San Antonio Housing Authority, or SAHA, received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in December 2012.

By December 2017, Wheatley Courts will be transformed into the mixed-income community that will build off the neighboring Sutton Oaks property’s 286 mixed-income units.

As part of its master-planned neighborhood, SAHA will also focus on crime prevention, increasing park space, and establishing a community garden and co-op.
