Uptown Central Information
Uptown Central is bordered to the south by Hildebrand Avenue, to the north by
Loop 410, to the east by New Braunfels Avenue, and to the west by West Avenue.
Uptown Central consists of a very large area separated by two segments.
Uptown Broadway is home to a concentrated area of "old money" bedroom
communities. These communities are Alamo Heights, Olmos Park, and Terrell Hills.
Combined the total population of these three communities is almost 16,000 people
on 4.2 square miles (10.9 km). That is a density of nearly 4,000 people per
square mile (1,500 km).
Famous people that reside in Uptown Broadway include Thomas Gibson (Terrell
Hills), Tommy Lee Jones (Terrell Hills), and many others. This area is home to
quite a few high-rise residential buildings, with more planned. Uptown Broadway
is also home to many trendy boutiques as well as the University of the Incarnate
Word and two very prominent museums, the McNay Art Museum and the Witte Museum.
Uptown Loop is what one might call a retail and office Mecca. With nearly five
million square feet (465,000 m) of retail and nearly 20 million square feet
(1.86 million m) of office space. Retail in Uptown Loop consists of North Star
Mall, San Pedro Towne Center, and the soon to be Park North Plaza at site of
what was once Central Park Mall. North Star Mall is anchored by Dillard's,
Macy's, Mervyn's, and Saks Fifth Avenue. In the summer of 2007, a J.C. Penney
will move into the mall as its fifth anchor.
