HollyHills Development Purchases Historic Red Berry Mansion
Development Company also Purchases 166,000 square-feet Industrial Building and Additional 83 Acres from Prominent San Antonio Businessman
San Antonio, TX. On the eve of Tuesday's press conference at which HollyHills Development will unveil it's visions for the creation of a 1,000 acre Sports & Entertainment District on San Antonio's Eastside; a vision which includes a Pro Football Stadium, Pro Baseball Stadium, Pro Basketball (Current SBC Center), Indy/NASCAR Racing and resort hotel and golf course and vacation shares, HollyHills announced it had reached agreement with prominent San Antonio businessman Bill Tidwell to purchase the historic Red Berry Mansion and the adjacent 83 acres which Tidwell owns.
Additionally, HollyHills agreed to purchase from Tidwell a 166,000 square-foot industrial storage facility which sits on seven-and-a-half acres on San Antonio's Eastside.
"Today's acquisitions by HollyHills Development, on the eve of our (HollyHills) press conference tomorrow, moves our company's Chairman Dan Bailey one step closer to making his vision for San Antonio's Eastside more of a possibility," stated HollyHills President & CEO Joseph Heitzler. "Without the relationship between the Baileys and Mr. Tidwell, this agreement would have never come to fruition," Heitzler added.
Bill Tidwell went on to state, "I can understand and appreciate the Bailey's Eastside vision, and through this agreement, I feel as though my wife and I can fully contribute to this vision."
The deal between HollyHills and Mr. Tidwell was finalized Sunday afternoon at the San Antonio home of HollyHills Chairman Dan Bailey and Vice Chairman Marlene Bailey.
"It will be in bent upon HollyHills to be good stewards of the historic Red Berry Mansion. Mr. Tidwell invested great sums of dollars in renovating the facility and preserving its rich history. The Mansion, along with the purchase of 83 acres and the industrial facility, will be key components of the vision HollyHills will present on Tuesday. I am positive that the Baileys will not only compliment this traditional historical mansion, but even take it to new heights," Heitzler added.
Tuesday's press conference is scheduled for 2:00pm at the Red Berry Mansion.

So HH is going to pave over the golf course and the orchard?

Sounds like "in filling" development that replaces a lot of greenery with noise and pollution. The people who live in the immediate area are already wedged tighly between IH35 and Highway 90, so they're used to noise and traffic.
what a bad place for an NFL stadium.
i'll still go.
I like the idea, it's very ambitious and I like ambitious. But not by kicking people out of their homes. I hope that's not what they are going to try to do.
Except for what looks like a trailer park and the small housing tract to the north of the area along Gembler road, there aren't many residence in that area.
Nope.
Willows Springs Golf course will be part of the development as part of a resort hotels.
I thought the NFL made it abundantly clear S.A. will never see a NFL franchise. I would love a NFL team but I don't get it wouldn't this just be another Alamodome fiasco.
Not with a new state of the art stadium.
The NFL wants no part of SA because we [as of now] do not have an NFL ready stadium.
But the biggest factor in the NFL not wanting to give SA an expansion team was because LA didn't have one.
The NFL and LA have already come to their agreement, LA is getting a team. Whether by relocation or expansion.
That tears down the wall. An new NFL stadium gets us over the debris.
I really don't like the idea of one large all encompasing sports complex. It reaks of limited shelf life. But if H2 can magically find a way to build a stadium with private money - more power to them. My hunch is that they are only going to announce a master plan.
Actually the NFL wants a franchise in LA, stadium in the works or not.
Which why both the NFL and city of LA have all ready come to an agreement that LA will recieve a team by 2009.
Whether through expansion or relocation.
Works well for Philly.
Why wouldn't you want all sports venues locate din the same central area? Like like a CBD, Finanical district, arts district, diamond district, etc.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Alamodome WAS state-of-the art when built. How is this state-of-the-art going to be different?
It was?
That's like saying Oklahoma City's downtown arena is state-of-the-art just because it's new.
It most def. isn't.
Because only a handful of NFL cities have brand new state of the art stadiums that the NFL craves.How is this state-of-the-art going to be different?
Well, that's what the induvidual OWNERS crave. The league craves making more money from the largest possible fan base for a given number of teams.Because only a handful of NFL cities have brand new state of the art stadiums that the NFL craves.
The league makes money off the tv market? I thought it was the owners?
Is the press conference gonna be shown at 2 or recorded, then shown on the news at 5?
Yeah, most likely shown later today at 5.
Hopefully sooner.
Interesting move. I think the multiple sports venues are still kind of pie in the sky from a practical standpoint -- ultimately HH might just be angling to get control of Willow Springs and develop the resort around it, which isn't a bad plan in itself if they can get a relatively crapless corridor from I-35 to it.
thanks
An owner moving a team to a new stadium in an unpopular location is like a board member of a corporation screwing the company out of extra revenue by pursuing a pet project of his own that only he gets paid for.
Not to get off subject , but whatever happened to that whole "hollywood coming to SA" thing and that film studio stuff? Any updates?
Its 2 o'clock....
