Weston Centre, San Antonio
The Weston Centre, a 32-story modern skyscraper in the heart of Downtown San Antonio, stands as a testament to architectural elegance and professional excellence. Reaching a structural height of 444 feet (135 meters), it is the city's tallest office building and the third-tallest skyscraper overall. Originally known as NBC Bank Plaza, the Weston Centre is clad in precast concrete enriched with Texas granite and limestone, blending natural materials with a contemporary aesthetic.
Completed in 1988, the Weston Centre was San Antonio's most ambitious commercial project at the time. Its location on the renowned Riverwalk offers tenants and visitors unparalleled convenience, with easy access to major freeways, municipal offices, luxury hotels, dining, and shopping.

Office spaces offer nine-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and premium finishes, including African mahogany doors, tegular ceiling tiles, and high-quality carpet complemented by energy-efficient LED lighting.
Locally owned and managed, the Weston family has consistently reinvested in upgrades and amenities, ensuring that the building remains a premier destination for professionals. With a commitment to exceptional tenant service, the Weston Centre is celebrated as "Downtown’s Best Address" and continues to define excellence in San Antonio’s commercial real estate market.
