Apartment and condo moves live or die on the building rules: the freight-elevator window, the loading-zone spot, the certificate of insurance the property manager wants on file. 1st Priority Movers moves studios, lofts, and high-rises around the Pearl, Southtown, and downtown — and we handle all of that for you.
The buildings we move in
Downtown San Antonio and the Pearl district are full of mid-rise and high-rise towers, gated condo communities, and converted-warehouse lofts. Each has its own logistics, and we plan for them before move day rather than improvising in the lobby.
- Downtown high-rises like Tower Life and The Mosaic with shared freight elevators
- Gated and access-controlled condo communities
- Third-floor walk-ups with tight, switchback stairwells
- Pearl and Southtown lofts in converted-warehouse buildings
Building logistics we handle
Most complexes require a reserved elevator window and a certificate of insurance, and many limit where the truck can sit. We sort the paperwork and the timing with your property manager ahead of time.

Built for tight stairwells and elevators
A two-mover crew at $110/hr handles most studios and one-bedrooms — the same rate as a small local move across San Antonio. For a downtown condo with a narrow service elevator or a long walk from the loading zone, we add a third mover so the reserved window is not wasted standing in line.
Who books an apartment move with us
Renters moving between Pearl-area lofts, young couples buying a first Southtown condo, and downsizers leaving a house for a low-maintenance high-rise (our house movers handle the move out) make up most of these jobs. We cover apartments throughout the San Antonio service area.
- Building check — send us the elevator rules, loading-zone or permit parking, and any insurance certificate the property wants with your free quote request.
- Reserve the window — your move is scheduled around the elevator slot and the crew is sized to finish inside it.
- Move day — pads on the elevator and corners, furniture wrapped, and a clean walk-through before we leave.
