Medical Center RV Resort

This has been in the works for a while. Finally took a closer look today. Located across the street from UT's Buffalo Speedway campus.

 

I'm disappointed they're using (future) prime real estate for an RV park.  Maybe this will help people who travel across the country to visit our med center.

There is some demand for this sort of thing, I have a cousin who needed some longish term care, and they had a travel trailer they parked in an RV park not far from the hospital. That saved her and her husband a ton of money for hotel and other costs. The build out shouldn't be that expensive, and it's very easy to remove when the property becomes more valuable as something else. Note that this is next to Wildcat Golf Course, which was built on landfill and the entire area was part of the Pierce Junction oil field. There's also a salt dome under there.

I could also see many Houston Rodeo participants, Texans fans,  motor cross events, Monster Trucks fans using this, it will probably do pretty good.

RV parks are easy to rip up when the land becomes more valuable for other uses.  I wouldn't worry too much.

Ah, but this is an "RV Resort", so I'm sure it will be appropriately swanky.
