About The Floodgate

If you’re seeking new apartments in San Antonio that combine the prestige of high‑rise living with the intimacy of a boutique community, The Floodgate sets the standard. This luxury, 35‑story tower in downtown offers refined interiors, smart‑home features, and panoramic views of the city and River Walk. Inside, select 1‑, 2‑, and 3‑bedroom units feature elevated finishes – think quartz countertops, sleek cabinetry, and floor‑to‑ceiling windows – tailored for modern sophistication. Many apartments offer open layouts with gourmet kitchens and spa‑inspired bathrooms, in‑unit laundry, and private balconies overlooking the San Antonio skyline (and often the River Walk).

Amenities at The Floodgate include:

• Resort‑style Pool: A heated outdoor pool and sun deck for soaking up the Texas sun.
• Fitness Center: A private gym with state‑of‑the‑art cardio and weight equipment.
• Rooftop Terrace: A landscaped sky lounge with grills and seating, offering sweeping city and river views.
• EV Charging Stations: Electric vehicle charging in the on‑site automated garage.
• Controlled‑access Parking: Covered garage parking and valet service.
• Pet‑friendly Policies: Dogs and cats are welcome (pet care services are nearby).
• Concierge & Smart Tech: App‑controlled front‑door entry, smart thermostats, package lockers, and 24/7 concierge.

Residents also enjoy a private spa, multiple lounge areas (one with curated refreshments), and even on‑site dining along the River Walk.

The Floodgate offers a variety of layouts – from cozy one‑bedrooms (around 758 sq ft) to roomy three‑bed units (up to ~1,555 sq ft). Interiors are bright and airy: expansive floor‑to‑ceiling windows flood each home with light and frame the river and cityscape. Kitchens are modern and gourmet‑ready, with stainless steel appliances and under‑counter wine fridges (in select units). Bathrooms feel spa‑like with floating vanities and full‑height tile, and many units include walk‑in closets. Throughout, neutral palettes, matte‑black hardware, and luxe touches (like deep kitchen sinks and gooseneck faucets) create a chic, livable feel.
