BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
These six (6) properties were originally owned by the St. Paul Area Development Corporation (SPADC) and were purchased with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds provided by the City of San Antonio's Office of Grants Monitoring and Administration (GMA). SPADC acquired the properties with the intent to construct an elderly assisted living center.

In December 2009, by board resolution, SPADC was dissolved as an organization and the assisted living center facility was never constructed. The properties subsequently reverted back to City ownership. In an effort to spur redevelopment in the area, these six (6) properties were collectively advertised by the City of San Antonio through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process on October 30, 2013. The City's interest was to dispose the properties for residential or mixed-use development opportunities. With respect to future land use, the lots are located within the Dignowity Hill Neighborhood Plan area and are detailed for low density mixed use.
