‘The Jetsons Come To The River Walk!': How JMJ Is Transforming San Antonio's Skyline

Bank of America's urban setting is home to many prestigious tenants for whom Bank of America Plaza provides an incomparable mix of amenities and value. The recent renovations of the building include the largest public art sculpture and the largest media wall in South Texas.

JMJ Development is bringing a high-rise luxury apartment tower to San Antonio's River Walk. One of the largest builders of luxury real estate in the US, JMJ is promising all the latest in upscale amenities, technology and convenience to future residents of JMJ Towers River Walk. We asked CEO Tim Barton, who will be speaking at our Future of Downtown San Antonio summit next Wednesday, about the company's inspiration for what will be one of the tallest buildings in San Antonio.

Tim, pictured above, tells Bisnow finding a site right on the river was like hitting the mother lode. “We are a relationship-driven developer so we didn't go looking in various markets for the ideal location," he says. "In this case,…

The Rise Of RealtyShares

It takes a lot for a company like RealtyShares to get off the ground. The idea behind the startup is simple: you use the internet to frictionlessly match up people looking to invest in real estate with people who have credible development projects. The execution, however, takes monumental effort.
