Exclusively for a limited number of ULI San Antonio Young Leaders: an inside look at The Vistana and a talk with its owner/developer, Ed Cross.

The Vistana brings new vibrancy downtown, as the first new Class A construction, mixed-use high-rise apartment project in downtown San Antonio in more than 10 years. It is located on an entire city block between Houston and Commerce Streets and bordered by historic Market Square and Milam Park. The majority of residents are new downtown dwellers who have relocated from the suburbs or out of state. The 30,000 square feet of retail on the first floor includes Sterling Bank and, just announced, IHOP Cafe. Other contemplated retail uses are pharmacy, dining and other service-oriented retailers.

Edward A. Cross, II is the Chief Executive Officer and founder of Cross & Company, a San Antonio-based commercial real estate firm established in 1998. Cross & Company specializes in office and industrial management, leasing, brokerage and investment. Mr. Cross and his partners have assembled or developed an ownership portfolio consisting of 31 separate properties with over 3,600,000 square feet.

Ed Cross began his real estate career in 1980 in Houston with Kirksey Development Company. Previously, he was employed by Ernst and Ernst in the Tax & Audit Departments. Prior to founding Cross & Company, he was Senior Vice President and a partner of Trinity Asset Management, a subsidiary of Embrey Investments, which he joined in 1985. Mr. Cross holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin, is a licensed real estate broker and was a Certified Public Accountant. In 1992, 1996 and 1997, he was named the #1 Commercial Real Estate Broker in San Antonio by the San Antonio Business Journal.
