Oxbow Gets Go-Ahead for Downtown SA Hotel
A local San Antonio planning board approved Oxbow Development Group’s plan to erect a nine-story structure with 166 rooms. The hotel, called The Grove, will be situated across from the historic Hotel Emma. The move clears the way for the company to build a select-service hotel across the river from the historic Hotel Emma.
Oxbow is expected to start construction on the hotel and several other large projects in Tobin Hill. Three apartment properties, including Mira, which will largely provide the parking support for “Grove,” are also in the works.
On its website, the company says it has worked on Pearl’s historic structures, such as the Pearl brewery. In 2021, the company transitioned from Silver Ventures’ development team to an independent subsidiary and renamed itself Oxbow Development Group. They plan to continue new developments at and around Pearl and expand outside of the area.
