    The parking reduction is a much better compromise than I thought we were going to get. While I still think having the fire lane and any parking between the patios and the trail will create a lesser ambiance than the trailside of MKT (the patios won't be a natural extension of the trail like they are at MKT), I'm content with this compromise.

    Mays Business School has received a $25 million lead gift for a new graduate education building. It is expected to begin construction in 2026 and be finished in 2028. The university aims to raise another $30 million to support it’s construction. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/article/25-million-mays-business-school-a-m-19420399.php

    This project, now called Aspire A&M, has secured construction financing. Hopefully some movement starts soon. I'll be keeping an eye out for it on my next trip through College Station. https://www.multihousingnews.com/harrison-street-jv-lands-loan-for-texas-student-housing/

    At the campus's budget review with the Board of Regents, Colonel Fossum stated the campus would be requesting a Campus Construction Assistance Project (CCAP) from the state legislature in the upcoming session for the Immersive and Simulation and Learning Environment (ISLE) Building. Hopefully the legislature will fund CCAPs this year.

    The RELLIS Campus will be the new home of the Meat Sciences & Technology Center, which will be moving from West Campus (Kleberg, I believe). The second picture is of a transportation lab on the campus.

    Notes from Texas A&M's budget review: the Aplin Center, despite a pause (on all capital projects not currently in construction last year), will be moving forward with a groundbreaking in January of 2025. The new vet hospital will be located at the corner of University and Agronomy Road, rather than at the corner of University (or Raymond Stotzer at that point) and Harvey Mitchell. This will necessitate the demolition of an extremely old existing building.

    A slide from Texas A&M's budget review this week about the space institute. No new information besides an interior rendering, unfortunately.

    A Galveston organization, BUILD Galveston, is working to develop workforce housing as roughly 60% of people who work on the island live on the mainland. Finding ways to get these people to live on the island could help stabilize the island's population. The Landing article provides some historical context to the issue. The main roadblock appears to be land availability. https://houstonlanding.org/theres-not-enough-housing-for-galvestons-growing-workforce-heres-why/

    The first portion of this project was approved in May of 2023, the second portion in November of 2023, and a third portion was added to the scope of the project and approved for construction in February of this year. The third portion adds $62.5 million bringing the full project to $423.2 million and includes a parking garage, warehouse, and adds a 6th floor to the office building.

    Artist Boat today announced they raised the required $6.5 million to protect the Anchor Bay property, a 140 acre tract of land sandwiched between the current bounds of the Coastal Heritage Preserve. They'll close on the land in June.

    The site where that tower was planned was ground-leased to Medistar to build office space and serve as a revenue source for the A&M System. That space was not planned to be used by A&M. Medistar put that project on hold, similar to how they put their down the street Innovation Tower project on hold.

    This could be a very natural lot for campus expansion for Texas A&M or HCC.
