Hemisfair’s Civic Park construction now scheduled to begin this fall click to enlarge Ben Olivo / SA Heron The site of the future Civic Park at Hemisfair. In 2017, the City of San Antonio chose Zachry Corp. out of 11 bidders to construct buildings on the northwest corner of Hemisfair, around a new public park named Civic Park. When Zachry unveiled its design a year later, for a hotel, an office tower and a food market, it said it hoped to finish construction in early 2021 or, right around now. Yet the site, a grassy lot next to the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, surrounded by chain-link fences, has remained undeveloped for the last four years.
