自2004年以来，一个空置且被严重破坏的建筑外壳占据了35号和37号州际公路交汇处一个引人注目的地点。这座建筑群曾被称为“鬼城”，圣安东尼奥快报称其为“无家可归者经营的最大的无家可归者收容所”，如今已成为犯罪活动的场所，从盗窃、破坏、入室盗窃到袭击。

Since 2004, a vacant and heavily vandalized building shell occupied a high-profile site at the convergence of Interstates 35 and 37. Once referred to as “Ghost Town,” and described by the San Antonio Express-News as “the biggest homeless shelter run by the homeless,*” the complex had become a site of criminal activity, ranging from theft and vandalism to burglary and assault.

这些被忽视的房产最终在法院的台阶上被拍卖，新主人看到了这三个街区在百老汇街的城市走廊和圣安东尼奥河之间的潜力，使之成为北河的振兴中心。设计团队面临的挑战是创造性地使现有上层建筑适应新业主的愿景和程序。该项目的西部街区与圣安东尼奥河相连；东部街区与百老汇街主要城市走廊的正面相连，一楼将有零售和办公空间，二至四层将有住房。

The neglected property was eventually auctioned on the courthouse steps, and the new owners saw the potential for these three city blocks between the urban corridor of Broadway Street and the San Antonio River to become a revitalized hub for River North. The challenge for the design team was to creatively adapt the existing superstructure into the new owner’s vision and program. The western block of the project connects to the San Antonio River; the eastern block, with frontage off the main urban corridor of Broadway Street, will contain retail and office space on the first floor and housing on levels two through four.

为了实现这座城市生活建筑的改造，1221百老汇的适应性再利用建筑分两个阶段形成：一期改造现有300套公寓和5个庭院；第二阶段改造东部街区百老汇大厦的零售和办公空间。第一阶段涉及重新剥皮现有的建筑和使窗户更大，以允许更多的自然日光在公寓。28种不同单元类型的平面图与以前业主的设计完全不同。此外，五层楼高的停车场已经完工并铺上了屋顶.

To achieve the transformation of this urban living compound, the adaptive-reuse construction of 1221 Broadway took shape in two phases: phase one to renovate the existing 300 apartments and five courtyards, and phase two to renovate retail and office space in the Broadway building on the eastern block. Phase one involved re-skinning the existing building and making windows larger to allow more natural daylight in the apartments. The floor plans of twenty-eight different unit types were completely changed from the previous owner’s designs. In addition, the five-story parking garage was finished out and roofed.

连接到五个庭院和户外创造了独特的绿洲和城市街道的存在。这些庭院将城市生活与自然联系起来，提供户外活动和聚会空间。所有的循环都是在户外，在单一负荷的悬臂式人行道上，B大道和小巷之间的桥梁连接着车库。

The connection to the five courtyards and to the outdoors creates both a unique oasis and urbane street presence. These courtyards link urban living with nature, and provide outdoor activity and gathering spaces. All circulation is outdoors on single-loaded cantilevered walkways linked by bridges over Avenue B and alleys to the garage.

该项目已成为附近城市重建和社区振兴的催化剂。1221百老汇位于圣安东尼奥河沿岸市中心的边缘，北临一个服务不足的住宅区和商业区，拥有独特的位置，可以重新连接城市的这些不同地区，并为市中心带来居住生活。随着一个废弃的上层建筑的彻底改造，一个B循环站，河流步行通道，和一个频繁的墨西哥卡车进一步加强了这个项目作为一个充满活力的城市生活地区。

The project has served as a catalyst for nearby urban redevelopment and neighborhood revitalization. Located on the edge of downtown along the San Antonio River, with an underserved residential and commercial district to the north, 1221 Broadway is uniquely positioned to reconnect these disparate parts of the city and bring residential life to the downtown area. Along with the complete makeover of an abandoned superstructure, a B-Cycle station, River Walk access, and a frequent taco truck further enhance this project as a vibrant urban living area.
