New hope for historic Merchant’s Ice complex
SAN ANTONIO – The Texas Research and Technology Foundation has purchased the Merchant’s Ice complex in Dignowity Hill, a former industrial site just east of downtown that has been mostly vacant for more than a decade.
The foundation, a local nonprofit that promotes science and technology companies, bought the historic 4.8-acre complex from a partnership affiliated with Dallas developer John Miller.
The complex, which was first built in 1909, is listed on the National Register of Historic places.
It includes eight buildings with about 120,000 sf of space at the northwest corner of Houston and Cherry streets as well as a vacant lot across the street.
The complex was valued at $1.5 million by the Bexar Appraisal District last year.
