     Future Plans
    SAWS bought this location along with the old buttercrust bakery across the street to use as a new headquarters. They abandoned plans for it and ended up buying the old valero energy hq to use instead. At this point i believe it is up for sale.

    4.26.2021 - The property is now home to a mixed use facility that includes Alamo Community Colleges District Headquarters and a UPS Store.
