114,000-SF Lease Sounds the Charge on Fort Sam Houston Project

SAN ANTONIO-This morning, Texas officials, the US Army, Orion Partners and Weston Solutions celebrate the start of a 450,000-sf "first" for an active military base. The US Army South Command's move from Puerto Rico mortars the project's launch.

SAN ANTONIO-This morning, the US Army South Command raises its flag over the city in a monumental announcement of a relocation from Puerto Rico to Fort Sam Houston, where the 114,000-sf lease is the mortar needed to jumpstart a $55-million project for the nation’s first public-private partnership at an active Army base.

US Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and a contingent of Texas leaders will join Army officers and the project’s private sector partners–Weston Solutions Inc. of West Chester, PA and Orion Partners Inc. of San Antonio–to announce the command’s phased-in relocation from Fort Buchanan. The USARSO lease is the third one cut, and the largest, for the Offices at Fort Sam Houston, a historic adaptive reuse project of three late 1930s-era buildings on the northeast local base.

In June, the US Army Medical Information Systems & Services Agency took 75,000 sf, and the US Army Southwest Regional office’s newly formed Installation Management Agency committed to 51,000 sf. All leases carry 17-year terms.
