Read full article: New mixed-income apartments coming to near West SideSAN ANTONIO An old warehouse on the near West Side is coming down to make way for Tampico Apartments, which will have 200 mixed-income units. David Nisivoccia, president and CEO of the San Antonio Housing Authority, said Tampico Apartments is among other public-private partnerships on the near West Side. "We're happy to be at the forefront of recognizing the quality of the near West Side and the people here," Nisivoccia said. When asked if she'd consider moving to Tampico Apartments, Miranda said she'd worry that the management would side with tenants with rents at the higher market price. According to SAHA, the rents for Tampico Apartments will start at $324 at the lower end for nine affordable units and up to $1,550 for market price units.
