Dallas-based JMJ Development LLC plans to break ground this summer on a 30-story luxury apartment tower along the River Walk in downtown San Antonio.

The tower, named JMJ Towers River Walk, will have 201 luxury apartments and upscale restaurant and retail space, according to a news release from the developer. It will be at 120 Villita Street, across from the Riverwalk Plaza Hotel & Suites.

The apartments will be a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, with top floor penthouse suites, a fitness area and swimming pool, according to the release.

News of the apartment tower comes a week after the Historic and Design Review Commission approved plans for a 24-story boutique Hilton hotel also along the River Walk.

“The city’s rapid growth via an increasingly sophisticated and often international clientele has created a strong demand for luxury living on the highly sought-after River Walk,” said Tim Barton, chief executive of JMJ Development, in the release. “We intend to meet this demand by infusing luxury living with amazing technology and amenities that simply have not been available before in this thriving market. Think ‘the Jetsons come to the River Walk!’”
