texan Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 21 minutes ago, bobruss said: Just curious if A&M has made a statement about the shut down? Likely not since A&M's only involvement on that building is owning the land it sits on. This project is a Private-Public Partnership where A&M owns the land (and the academic building, Discovery Tower) and the developer (Medistar) owns and manages the apartment and office buildings and pays A&M a lease fee. As long as the university gets paid it likely isn't an issue for them since A&M isn't planning to occupy space in the office building. In looking back at news articles, it says the apartment tower and garage were both definitely happening by 2022 but the office portion was only "planned" to start in 2022. A&M itself is actually planning a $15 million buildout of shell space in the academic building it owns. https://assets.system.tamus.edu/files/treasury/pdf/FY23/TAMHSC.pdf 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanize713 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Why the massive garage? Seems excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 You have to remember that this is parking for A&M students and faculty, the Medistar apartment building, and the future office bldg. If its a professional bldg. it will need room for patients cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyt36 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Looks like one of those garages it takes 20 minutes to get out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Anyone know which is the largest parking garage in the city? I would guess the one adjacent to the Chase tower downtown. It appears to have the most levels, but do not know if it is the highest in volume of cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's one thing the TMC needs, is parking spots. My guess would be one of the Allen Center Garages, the Braeswood Garage in the TMC, or the Orange Garage in the Galleria. Chase Tower Annex/Garage isn't all parking - has offices on top.' This one is a beast for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go crazy when I have to park on the 5th floor of my apartment garage. If I had to park on the top of this thing I'd absolutely lose it. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
