OUTLOOK2022
The St. John * San Antonio, Texas
The adaptive use of the former St. John's Seminary
College. Now home to 228 apartments, the property
is within walking distance of the San Antonio River
Walk as well as employment and commercial centers.
It also is adjacent to a UNESCO World Heritage site
whose archaeological mapping and preservation
created challenges. But this also presented a unique
opportunity to preserve a site with substantial historical
and cultural significance while also delivering a
high-quality housing project that will act as a catalyst
for future development and economic growth. Further,
the two Latino development team leaders reflect the
community served and were directly involved in the
community meetings and outreach.

ULI established the Jack Kemp Excellence in
Affordable and Workforce Housing Awards in 2008,
naming the program in memory of Jack Kemp, former
secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development, who had served as a Terwilliger
Center national advisory board member. The awards
are given annually to affordable and workforce
housing developments that represent outstanding
achievements in several areas, including affordability,
innovative financing and building technologies,
proximity to employment centers and transportation
hubs, quality of design, and involvement of public/
private partnerships. Developments competing for the
Kemp Awards may be fully affordable, with all units
designated for low- to moderate-income residents,
or they may contain a mix of affordable and marketrate
units.
