Luma Construction Updates


What’s going on at Luma? This is where you can find out!

That’s a wrap.

This marks the end of this construction blog. It’s been nice seeing Luma grow and change. We’re proud of all the hard work our teams put in.

It’s a privilege to see homeowners creating community in their new homes. Luma is 43 townhomes in the heart of San Antonio’s Mahnke Park Neighborhood. We wish them may years of happiness and good times. Welcome home, everyone.

You can check out our closeout party here.

Luma, it’s the LAST BUILDING. Things are hopping at building 6. 

Working on allllll the finishes. Tile, plumbing trim, countertops. AC starts are scheduled and then BAM, wood flooring. 

Exterior decks getting those sweet finishing touches and fencing – get ready for your closeup, we’re coming for you next. 

That’s some good Luma news. Let’s keep it up and see you here next month.

4/22/22

Luuuuuuma, let’s talk about all things you!

Building 5 had a big couple months. March saw lots of finishing work that extended into the first half of April. And then, it HAPPENED. Unit 504 closed. Unit 501 is next. 503 & 504 coming up in May.

Building 6 had us working on drywall hanging and floating in all units. Next up was texturing, followed by installing siding and concrete flatwork. Courtyard amenities also underway. By April we saw trim and cabs work with an estimated completion in July. 

Good chat. We’ll talk to you next month.

2/22/22

Luma, let’s chat. Things are getting super serious.

  • Building 4: Homes 401 & 402 closed on the 18th.
  • Building 5: Homes 501-504 – work continues on mechanical, trims, and exterior final grade. Closing coming up next.
  • Building 6: Homes 601-606 working on insulation and stucco. Drywall coming up next.

We’ll check in next month and share the good news.

Units 401 & 402 in Building 4 are set for drywall touch up and final paint began 12/6/21, with cedar siding installation underway next week. Also in progress is drywall tape and float in Building 5 along with rough and window installs for Building 6 to come once framer is ready.

Ciao for now!

Here’s the lowdown on our girl Luma:

Both Units 701 and 704 in Building 7 are move in ready while exterior walls and plumbing finals in Building 4 are still underway. Over in Building 5 we’re insulating and getting drywall material delivered. Rough-in trades are in progress Building 6 while we are getting the grove area polished up and removing temp fences.

Til next time.

9/21/21

Last looks this week and next week in Building 7 on units 701 and 704. Building 4 is seeing some plumbing work, electric and HVAC trims all in units 401 and 402. Meanwhile, stucco and rough mechanical phase for building 5 and rough mechanical’s working in Building 6.

We call that GROWTH.

8/16/21

I’m gonna level with you, Luma.

You’ve got building 7 completed with 2 units closed, another on the way this month, and a 4th unit soon to come in September. A paint wall-out trim installation is underway this week for building 4, while building 5 is getting inspected for pre-insulation, and movement on roof decking for building 6 is ongoing.

That’s all for now. Someone leave the light on for Luma.

7/21/21

Luma’s been busy so let’s dive in.

This week we have a few more polishings and NHPs on units 702 & 703 in Building 7. We’ll have Building 4 textured with tape & float by the end of this week. Building 5 will transition to drywall by mid-August and we’re in the middle of decking and sheeting the exterior for Building 6. That should be achieved within the next few weeks. 

Hang in there, Luma!
