CENTEX TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON RIVERMIST WALL
City of San Antonio issues building permit

San Antonio, TX — November 22, 2010 — Centex today received the building permit from the City of Antonio to begin construction on a new retaining wall at its Rivermist community.

Construction of the new pier-panel wall, which replaces an existing wall damaged in a slope failure in January 2010, will begin immediately and is expected to take four to six months to complete.

“In developing the new wall design, we have worked closely with third-party engineering experts, the Rivermist Homeowners Association (HOA) and the City of San Antonio,” said Laurin Darnell, division president for Centex in San Antonio. “We can now begin construction activities and will work to complete the project in a timely manner with minimal disruption to the residents.”

“I am very pleased that the City, Centex, and the Bexar County Rivermist Homeowners Association worked together to to develop a safe, effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for the residents of Rivermist,” said District 8 City Councilman W. Reed Williams.

The pier-panel design of this wall is more commonly used in transportation and commercial applications to safely support heavy live loads adjacent to highways, railways, industrial or multi-story buildings. This wall will have a customized finish to blend in nicely with the surrounding areas. Additionally, Centex will landscape the area with more than 80 major native trees once construction is complete.
