It will sit alongside current commercial buildings, including a Walgreens, Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks that are currently on that block.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the first time the nonprofit has developed a hotel and it created a new entity to take on the project. Chris Oviatt is president and CEO of MHM Realco and is leading the development effort.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s first building is a hotel that will be dual-branded into a Hilton Garden Inn and a Home 2 Suites by Hilton.<\/p>\n<p>Oviatt said the hotel will divide its rooms between market rate options and discounted options for low-income families that need a place to stay. He said at least 15% of rooms would be discounted for guests that qualify. Revenues from other rooms rented at market rates would go back into the hotel to help pay for those discounts.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sanantoniomovingreport.com\/?p=577\">Fewer than 1,000 early votes cast for Alamo Colleges board runoff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you need to come to the South Texas Medical Center for care and don\u2019t have the means to pay for a room for an extended treatment,\u201d Oviatt said. \u201cWe want to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It will be similar to the Hope Lodge and Ronald McDonald House project in the area which provides lodging for families, Oviatt added.<\/p>\n<p>He said that planning and building the hotel is a complex process, but Oviatt hopes the construction begins this year with an eye on opening in late 2028 or early 2029. <\/p>\n<p>Building it could cost around $38 million. In a press release, Methodist Healthcare Ministries officials said there could be a groundbreaking in August.<\/p>\n<p>Ministry Park won\u2019t stop there, though.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe certainly want to and hope to have a sustainable neighborhood in the heart of the South Texas Medical Center,\u201d Oviatt said. \u201cThat means some green space. If it\u2019s a neighborhood, that means that people are probably living there. Hopefully, at some point, there\u2019s a multifamily component. Then you\u2019re going to need some retail services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding green spaces and improving the environment in the Medical Center would enhance healthcare, Oviatt said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe South Texas Medical Center is a hustling and bustling place. We\u2019d love for service providers and workers to be able to step out of their institutional environments and come spend some time in one of our green spaces,\u201d he said. \u201cWe just believe that thriving people and thriving places are part of expanding healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sanantoniomovingreport.com\/?p=575\">West Nile Virus detected months early in San Antonio mosquito trap<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nonprofit is creating mixed-use development called Ministry Park to try to enhance the quality of life in the South Texas Medical Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":580,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
