SAN ANTONIO (February 10, 2022) – Sundt Construction has recently completed the development of new streets in the Town Center at La Cantera, improving the area’s infrastructure and adding two parks.
Located on the northwest corner of Loop 1604 and IH-10, the improvement project constructed approximately 4,500 linear feet of asphalt and paver parkway streets. Sundt also added associated water, sewer, gas, communication, electrical, stormwater utility infrastructure and landscape improvements.
“This development will serve the future expansion of the newest mixed-use development in the area,” said Dan Green, Sundt’s project manager. “Our team did exceptional work to deliver this project. These new features within this development define the key design criteria of a place where users can “live-work-play” as this area continues to expand.”
Almost half of the project acreage is home to two new parks straddling Leon Creek. The first included paved trail systems meandering through the native hill country forest and connecting the latest recreation elements and parkway to the existing Leon Creek Greenway trail system, multifamily properties and the Shops at La Cantera.
The second park, Coyote Dog Park, is a 7.5-acre dog park. All live oaks and native hardwoods trees within the park were preserved and integrated with the new park design to provide a shade tree canopy. The park includes numerous amenities including drinking fountains and dog wash stations, 7,000 square feet of artificial turf and play tunnels.
On the northern edge of the La Cantera area, Sundt also constructed approximately 900 feet of Roca Pass, a private street and improvements to 600 feet of existing roadways. The project required over 20,000 cubic yards of limestone to be milled for the grades of the new and existing streets to match. The team also added sewer, gas, communication, electrical and stormwater infrastructure for the area.
“This project improves accessibility around the area and opens the door for future expansions,” said Chad Yount, Sundt’s Area Manager for its Transportation Group. “Our team worked diligently to develop this area.”
In Texas, Sundt has 50 years and $3 billion of project experience, with offices in San Antonio, Dallas and El Paso. The company is currently working on the Innovation Center on the Port San Antonio campus, San Pedro Creek Improvements and the Broadway Street improvements in downtown San Antonio.
