Andres Andujar

Andres Andujar was named CEO of the Hemisfair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation in 2011. He is driving the vision for the Hemisfair area redevelopment, which is to create one of the world’s great public places. This is being done by the transformation of the 1968 World’s Fair site into an urban district of multiple parks, residences and local businesses. Hemisfair is becoming sustainable, self-funded and filled with events authentic to San Antonio.

In addition to his work on the Hemisfair district, Andres helped develop a vision and coined River North for an area north of our downtown surrounding the Museum Reach of the Riverwalk extension that resulted in a 400-acre urban rezoning and the creation of a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone. For that volunteer effort, Andujar was given an honorary title from the American Institute of Architects. Andres was named 2006 Downtowner of the Year by the Downtown Alliance, and was selected as one of San Antonio’s Visionaries in 2008. In 2017 the San Antonio Express News selected Andres as a Texas Powerbroker.
