Casey Development Ltd. is building an office structure at the corner of Sunset Road and Treeline Park.<\/h2>\n

When builder Darren Casey was thinking about how he wanted his firm\u2019s office project north of Alamo Quarry Market to look, he was aiming for timelessness, he said.
\nThe building will be sleek and glassy, with some floor-to-ceiling windows and metal accents. Located at the corner of West Sunset Road and Treeline Park, it will be a Class A office building, a category in short supply in San Antonio. Renderings show a rooftop patio with plants.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that highly visible location and everyone coming past going to the airport and downtown, it really deserves something unique,\u201d Casey said. He pointed to another building nearby he considers notable: Casey Development Ltd.\u2019s headquarters at 200 E. Basse Road, the former home of troubled radio giant iHeartMedia.<\/p>\n

When the structure was built about two decades ago, it stood out among the mostly drab corporate offices in the area, San Antonio Express-News critic Mike Greenberg wrote in 2000. It looks out over the Quarry Golf Course.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn bare outline, the plot is familiar, but the telling is crafted with great finesse, care and lyricism,\u201d Greenberg wrote. \u201cThe idiom deftly combines the romantic regionalism of Hill Country limestone construction with high modernism, crisply rendered in glass and metal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casey Development acquired the building, designed by local firm Overland Partners, in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the (Sunset project) will be kind of an iconic building for many years to come, just like the Basse property is,\u201d Casey said.<\/p>\n

Since Casey started his company more than 25 years ago, it has built an assortment of multifamily projects, and commercial, industrial and office space in San Antonio and other parts of Texas.<\/p>\n

The Sunset building is also an apology for what he dubs his \u201cugly\u201d shopping center at U.S. 281 and Loop 410. It was his first project.
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t do so good (there),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

About half of the roughly 65,000-square-foot Sunset building already is leased to medical tenants, and several other leases are pending, Casey said. The project is expected to wrap up this winter.<\/p>\n

Doctors\u2019 and dentists\u2019 offices, and other health care services and medical businesses line streets in the area, along with clusters of apartment complexes.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s become a little sub-medical market there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been plenty of speculation about how the coronavirus pandemic will affect various sectors in real estate, particularly office space.
\nMany companies sent workers home in March, and with COVID-19 cases continuing to rise in San Antonio and other cities, some have announced employees won\u2019t be going back until next year.<\/p>\n

When they do return, some will find their offices have been reconfigured. \u201cThe pandemic may mean the end of the open-floor office,\u201d a May headline in the New York Times stated.<\/p>\n

What does that mean for demand for office space in San Antonio?<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you\u2019re going to see more rotation or (businesses) using less space,\u201d Casey said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see.\u201d His firm is focusing on other fast-growing parts of the city. He has apartment complexes in the works at Interstate 35 and Wurzbach Parkway, and at Potranco Road and Loop 1604. A project with retail and multifamily units is planned at Stone Oak Parkway and U.S. 281.
\nCasey also is excited about the revitalization of the city\u2019s urban core.<\/p>\n

When he started his real estate career in the 1980s, there were incentives to rehabilitate downtown buildings, but people didn\u2019t want to live there, he said in an interview last year. Then developments such as the Pearl started injecting more housing and retail, drawing people back to the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think downtown is definitely seeing its resurgence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

So is Casey considering any projects in the downtown area, or waiting to see whether that resurgence will continue?<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, we\u2019ve got some stuff we\u2019re working on,\u201d he said. \u201c(That\u2019s) all I\u2019m going to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Casey Development Ltd. is building an office structure at the corner of Sunset Road and Treeline Park.
