SAN ANTONIO (December 18, 2019) – Sundt Construction, Inc. recently celebrated the topping out of the Canopy by Hilton San Antonio Riverwalk, located at the northwest corner of North St. Mary’s and Commerce streets.
“The project space is tight, and the achievement of reaching this milestone is huge for our project team,” said Todd Calder, VP and San Antonio Regional Director. “Our team has not only done an excellent job on the build, but has also gone above and beyond in being a good neighbor to surrounding businesses, residents and visitors.”
The hotel is one of the most high-profile projects going up along the Riverwalk. The 22-story property will feature more than 3,000 square feet of meeting space, 195 guest rooms and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace overlooking the Riverwalk. Gensler is the architect of record for the project, which broke ground in 2017. The project is scheduled for completion in 2020.
Both history and high technology played a factor in construction. The project is being built just inches from the wall of the Esquire Tavern, which dates to pre-Prohibition times. The tight quarters required the team to take precautionary measures to ensure the historic structure remains the same.
In Texas, Sundt has 50 years and nearly $3 billion of project experience, with offices in San Antonio, Fort Worth, Irving and El Paso. The company is currently busy in the downtown San Antonio area working on the San Pedro Creek Improvements and the CPS Energy Headquarters renovations.
