The company also deeded the De La Garza house, a historic single-family home, to Bexar County, said Weston Urban Vice President Mark Jensen. The white cottage is tucked next to the Continental Residence\u2019s lobby, which features a pool table, mailboxes and Pac-Man video game consoles for residents.<\/p>\n

Jensen and Sunny Davila, the building\u2019s general manager, said they worked with local designer Analy Diego to bring some of that cultural history into the building itself with a curated art collection displayed throughout the apartment complex.<\/p>\n
An assemblage of paintings can be found in the halls and common areas of the Continental Residences.<\/p>\n
The building\u2019s sixth floor is where many of those common areas are located, including a fitness center facing the downtown skyline, a pool, patio, co-working space and club room. A 16th-floor sky lounge provides panoramic views of San Antonio\u2019s downtown.<\/p>\n
Targeting local living<\/p>\n
Jensen said the building is geared towards young professionals, with more one-bedroom and studio apartments.<\/p>\n
The University of Texas-San Antonio is adding to its downtown footprint and will house the College of AI, Cyber, and Computing on the other side of Dolorosa Street. The City of San Antonio and Bexar County both have large buildings in the area. Jensen says employees, students and faculty have all begun to tour the Continental Residences.<\/p>\n
The Continental Residences received tax breaks for providing housing<\/a> opportunities for lower income residents. Davila and Jensen said the building has units set aside for people making 60% and 80% of San Antonio\u2019s area median income<\/a>, annual salaries of $40,620 and $54,150, respectively, for a one-person household.<\/p>\n Davila said the building was meant to appeal to a diverse set of incomes. Monthly rents start at $1,200 and go up to $4,900 for the Continental Residences\u2019 most expensive unit. Most rents are between $1,200 and $2,300, Jensen added.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we have is great value for the rents we\u2019re offering,\u201d Davila said, noting the building\u2019s brick exterior, full-size appliances and quality finishes.<\/p>\n Adding businesses to the mix<\/p>\n The Continental Residences are part of Weston Urban\u2019s broader effort to add residential and retail options downtown. The developer built 300 Main, another apartment building in downtown, and the Frost Bank Tower. Bringing in food and beverage options to Continental\u2019s street-facing retail spaces has proved slow, though, Jensen said.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we\u2019ve found to be tough is really selling that vision for small local restaurateurs,\u201d Jensen said. \u201cThese smaller-scale urban storefronts, it takes time to find good fits.\u201d<\/p>\n The restaurant space facing Commerce Street will also have access to a courtyard that overlooks San Pedro Creek. Residents and restaurant customers will be able to mingle in that space, Jensen said.<\/p>\n San Antonio\u2019s rental market has taken a more renter-friendly turn. According to data from Zillow, average monthly rents have dropped by $20 since January and $50 since February 2025.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ContinentalResidences_SanPedroCreek_WestonUrban_DowntownApartments_LivingHousing_10_02.18.2026_Amber.jpeg\")
