Alamo Heights City Council granted Embrey Partners a special use permit Monday to build a new, five-story apartment complex in the 100 block of Arcadia Place.

Developer EMBREY Partners has proposed building a five-story apartment complex directly across the street from the neighbors, some of whose homes have been around for more than a century. Buildings in Alamo Heights are generally restricted to three stories.

The Alamo Heights City Council approved a special use permit for The Argyle, a private dining club, to expand and build a major event center.
