    Location and rendering of the central plant: There will be a deviation from the masterplan. The NSMV, the TS Lone Star State will be moored at a new dock on the other side of the boat basin: The new engineering building (I believe starting construction next year), will be located a bit closer to the current engineering buildings (and have a bit bigger footprint) than identified on the master plan:

    The city is in the process of finalizing the Northeast Gateway Redevelopment Plan, a city initiated planning effort of the area around the front of campus, centered around the Texas and University intersection. Hopefully this comes to fruition as this will vastly improve the entrance into campus and provide an expanded urban core for the city. https://www.cstx.gov/departments___city_hall/pds/planning/small_area_plans/northeast_gateway

    Here's the building and landscaping layout for the plan above. Of note, catty-corner to this, the Normandy Square apartments were recently under contract and the listing shows as no longer for sale. Could not confirm a deed change on Brazos CAD but rumors on local forum, TexAgs, state Normandy Square will be redeveloped into midrise/highrise apartments Additionally, it was marketed on Cruxes as a student housing development site, fueling the rumor of redevelopment to higher and better use. If so, excellent news for Northgate and it confirms my previous prediction in this forum. https://www.crexi.com/properties/802930/texas-normandy-square-student-housing-development-site

    Bryan is growing up and dreaming big! This is located at the corner of South College and Inlow, in Bryan's "North of Northgate" neighborhood. "The City of Bryan has partnered with Lero & Associates, Inc. to acquire property, utilities and entitlements, and plan the development in order to secure a master developer to assist in creating a high-density, mixed-use community. To visualize the redevelopment, the city has partnered with OMNIPLAN, a highly qualified architecture firm. The project will utilize one of Bryan’s most viable redevelopment opportunities, align with future growth of the community, and continue to incorporate strategic partnerships to create a captivating and prosperous master-planned development." https://www.bryantx.gov/new-mixed-use-destination-envisioned-for-the-city-of-bryan/?fbclid=IwAR2YplOPrWzKFCB0tZfPJEYXY59JMOapw3D7UXLBUhrRS6FqLX52IgjH73o_aem_Ae5-RY-xufdphapqd7_DFN9GPcVri0ZlT24IimFDq9fblbeAsr9HuUK4538NafBWbJk&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

    The Powder Keg launched an NFT sale last year to finance the construction of this version of the building. The open-air venue is a temporary building. The new building will be at 1300 Brittmoore. No update available since the launch just over a year ago. https://www.powderkegcollective.xyz

    Texas A&M Space Institute, which will be housed in this building, was approved with Dr. Nancy Currie-Gregg being named director. She's got a great reputation in Clear Lake and in Aggieland. Fantastic choice. https://theeagle.com/news/a_m/a-m-regents-establish-space-institute-200m-a-m-facility-to-be-built-near-nasa/article_4ffe7f5a-3c6f-11ee-9df8-17ad1d7d7e58.html#tracking-source=home-top-story

    Pinecrest Texas A&M, southwestern intersection of Cherry Street and College Main. 20 floors, 605 beds. Great Complement to the Rev. College Main is really becoming a great urban street!

    Clarification: the Commission will distribute $150 million, the other $200 million will go to Texas A&M to build facilities adjacent to NASA Johnson for training, research, astronautical material curation, and robotics development.

    So this project and the expansion of I-10 all the way to I-610 W is included in the draft 2024 UTP. This is awful and unnecessary. The least they could do if they have to spend $1.4 billion on it is cap it and allow the city and county to develop the top into a park.

    So that's the building in the master plan connected to the Sovereign!

    SB 1057 escaped a veto and has become law! Hopefully we can look forward to an exciting renovation/expansion of George R. Brown or other venues soon. Does anyone know if any parts of the NHHIP deck park could benefit from this funding? https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=88R&Bill=SB1057

    The Aplin Center begins construction this fall. With development led by Hines, this will be the first mass timber building in the Brazos Valley, I believe. It will replace all 9 acres of Lot 61 with a new building and green space! https://today.tamu.edu/2023/06/12/development-manager-architects-selected-for-design-of-texas-am-aplin-center/

    The Hermann Park master plan shows no changes to it. But I don't think it would be unreasonable to consolidate the parking from it into the planned garage under the playground where the zoo/amphitheater lot is currently.

    The Pelican Island Bridge replacement will begin in 2025. This will be critical for further port development once cruise terminal 4 and Westport developments get underway. The only other place to expand to is Pelican Island and there’s plenty of land there! https://www.txdot.gov/projects/projects-studies/houston/seawolf-parkway-at-pelican-island-channel-bridge-replacement.html

    The Port of Galveston is preparing a $120 million bond package to fund the improvements mentioned above at Cruise Terminal 25 and to build the new fourth cruise terminal at Pier 16. $70 million of bond funds will go toward the new terminal. The trustees expect to have a contract with MSC on the fourth terminal within weeks, prior to bond issuance. https://www.portofgalveston.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=261

    Both the state budget that includes the money for this (HB 1) and the enabling bill to create the commission and research fund (HB 3447) have been passed by the legislature. The budget is being examined by the comptroller and HB 3447 has been sent to Governor Abbott's desk. He was an early endorser of this plan so it should be a foregone conclusion that he'll sign them both/allow them to become law. We can hopefully look forward to planning and construction to commence on this massive facility in the next two years!
