WASHINGTON—Placemakr announced the continuation of its national expansion with the launch of its first blended apartment-hotel property in San Antonio, Texas. The Maverick, powered by Placemakr, will be the first of its kind in San Antonio, providing its guests and residents with a single-use multifamily building and a blended experience with home and hotel within a single building. Placemakr is partnering with AREA Real Estate to bring this product offering to the state of Texas.
The Maverick, powered by Placemakr is adjacent to San Antonio’s Riverwalk and the Alamo. Its location provides guests and residents with access to a collection of restaurants, shops, nightlife, and more. The building houses 86 apartments, all of which will be fully furnished and offered for short-, medium-, and long-term stays, equipped with kitchens and on-floor laundry. The property offers amenities like a rooftop penthouse for private events, guest lounges, and plans for a gym. There is also office and conference space available near the property for corporate guests and residents. The property will be available for booking by the end of 2023.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Placemakr to merge its innovative and signature experience with the iconic history of The Maverick,” said David Adelman, principal at AREA Real Estate. “We’re always looking for ways to provide innovative solutions in commercial real estate.
