Amenities

At Saint Benedict’s, our greatest amenity is quality of life – the people, the neighborhood, the art, the food, great design, and efficient living. Below are just a few of the details.

The Neighborhood

  • Some of San Antonio’s most popular local restaurants a stroll away.
  • Center of San Antonio’s visual arts scene with may local galleries and the Blue Star Arts Complex within blocks.
  • A short walk to downtown through the Historic King William neighborhood, or a quick trolley ride giving access to all of downtown and its environs.
  • Immediate access to the 9 mile Mission Trails Hike & Bike path along the San Antonio River, and San Antonio’s best walking/jogging through the King William area and on the Riverwalk.
  • With quick access to I-10 and 281, the medical center, major malls and Central Market are only 10 minutes away.
  • The most eclectic neighborhood around. There is no community more interesting, welcoming, and close-knit in all of Texas.

The Project

  • With almost 3 acres of land, St. Benedict’s offers expansive greenery, easy visitor parking, and a generous pool and lounging area. Urban living but with room to move around and enjoy the outdoors.
  • Located on the Blue Trolley line with pick-up/drop off stops at our South Alamo door.
  • A fully equipped fitness center is located just off the pool and lounge area. With initial plans being to offer a limited number of memberships to King William area neighbors, the gym and pool area should be an inviting and stimulating area to exercise mind, body and soul.
  • With solid construction of brick, concrete and steel, along with all modern mechanical infrastructure, St. Benedict has been designed for long term, low maintenance sustainability.
  • St. Benedict, like King William, is a non-gated community that knows its residents are its own greatest security; however, secured entries with video monitoring and remote access capability from each unit offer the latest in hard-wired security.

The Spaces

  • Each space is individually designed by noted architect Davis Sprinkle and is a study in efficiency and clean urban design, not merely a space plan and engineering.
  • Sealed concrete floors throughout and exposed ceilings in the main living space.
  • Expansive windows with views of the King William neighborhood and downtown.
  • Kitchens that don’t scream “KITCHEN”. Sleek, white Thermofoil cabinetry with quartz solid surface countertops, Bosch appliances (cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher), and Hansgrohe fixtures. There when you need them, background art when you don’t.
  • Calm and cool bathrooms featuring slate floors, Carerra marble vanities, mosaic tiling, Toto low-flush toilets, and Toto bath fixtures.
  • Highly energy efficient overall plus master/sub-metered electrical for average utility rates of 25% to 35% below the average household (per CPS estimates).
  • Private and semi-private patios, terraces, and balconies per plan.
  • Ceiling heights up to 9′, 10′ and 12′ depending on space.
  • Original building design and interior light will allow for two and three window exposures and ample cross breezes on numerous spaces.
  • Select top floor and penthouse spaces are plumbed for gas and include pre-installed oversized vent-chases for cooks desiring a large, pro-style range.
  • Each unit has washer & dryer connections.
  • Each unit comes with one covered parking space, and the tenant can purchase an additional parking space if needed.
