Urban Style Developments Coming To College Station
texan replied to citykid09's topic in Bryan-College Station
401 First St, 10 floors, 750 beds has broken ground. Major addition to Northgate as it replaces a number of duplexes/fourplexes. https://wtaw.com/austin-based-developer-breaks-ground-on-second-student-housing-building-in-the-northgate-district/ -
Probably the most exciting thing about this podcast was they said they were looking for development partners to start tackling some of the other blocks. https://houston.innovationmap.com/what-houston-can-expect-from-its-rising-innovation-district-2657576855.html

I-45 Rebuild (North Houston Highway Improvement Project)
texan replied to ToryGattis's topic in Traffic and Transportation
I think this is exactly what happened. Leaving the two blocks with 55-60% of the units of the original development (since the block right by the rail stop is essentially just a parking garage with a small number of units and a full block of units absolutely had to be taken out) probably majorly ruined the business case on the remaining part of the development. In the end they'll definitely need it for staging and when the project is all said and done it will more than likely be redeveloped into much larger transit oriented residential development that doesn't put a parking garage right next to a light rail stop (which has got to be a Houston joke).- 3,370 replies

I-45 Rebuild (North Houston Highway Improvement Project)
texan replied to ToryGattis's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Why are he and Jackson Lee framing this as if they had no idea about it? Are they that disconnected or are they taking the opportunity to cash in on political clout? And on the net-zero housing pledge demands: I'm pretty sure that will happen naturally when these lots are replaced with something twice as tall with less parking...- 3,370 replies

One of the main reasons the UTHealth, MD Anderson, and Texas A&M buildings haven't started yet is due to state funding for CCAP projects (formerly called TRBs)- which fund each project to the tune of $70 million- still being in the process of flowing to the institutions and the institutions then having to get the final approval for the projects from the state. I believe each individual project was delayed past the most recent legislative session to try and get this funding so the previously allocated PUF dollars could then be reallocated to other projects (for example, in Texas A&M's case, the PUF funding displaced from A&M's TMC3 project by CCAP dollars is being moved to build a new small animal teaching hospital in College Station).

The Optima properties always looked to be alive when I lived in Phoenix, the best example in my opinion is Optima Camelview Village. I think they could be a successful brand in Houston. https://www.optima.inc https://www.optima.inc/projects/optima-camelview-village/

Texas A&M University College Station Developments
texan replied to H-Town Man's topic in Bryan-College Station
Arch “Beaver” Aplin III has donated $50 million toward a building that will serve as the home of new university programs in hospitality, retail studies and food product development involving innovative degree programs including viticulture, fermentation processes, coffee, and food science- to be located between Kyle Field and Wellborn near the hotel. This will be a learning and gathering place and will include outdoor and indoor student recreational space, retail and food service areas managed by students and faculty through the educational programs, product development laboratories, and food tasting centers which can be utilized in partnership with related industries. One of President Banks' visionary goals is for Texas A&M to play a major role in shaping Texas culture. A start to that goal is the school of visual and performing arts as well as the museum mentioned above but I think this will have the greatest impact to that goal! https://today.tamu.edu/2022/06/02/buc-ees-creator-giving-50-million-for-hospitality-entrepreneurship-program-at-texas-am/ -

Next week the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents will vote on the " Authorization to Negotiate and Execute a Ground Lease of 2.6252 Acres of Land and Other Agreements Related to the Construction of Up to Two Research and Educational Buildings on the TMC3 Campus Located in Houston." Not sure which parcel they are referring to but the last site plan I remember alluded to Texas A&M Health going directly north of the industry building currently going up. https://www.tamus.edu/regents/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2022/05/RegularBinderMay2022.pdf

Looks like this site plan and cutaway includes the new ACBs from when Duncan and Mays were built. I would assume it's still mostly accurate? Mays at right and Duncan at bottom.- 55 replies

That would be an even bigger coup than Austin getting the Tesla factory. Important to note that Axiom and SpaceX have deep ties that are only getting deeper. SpaceX is currently Axiom's transportation partner and likely will continue to be once the Axiom becomes independent of the ISS. SpaceX has also stated they have little interest in developing habitats for the Martian surface which I think perfectly tees Axiom up to step in and be their habitat partner. Maybe Axiom also jumps in to develop the Artemis Base Camp on the lunar surface for NASA?

It requires an appropriation from the Texas Legislature and his signature which is far easier than a PUF restructuring (constitutional amendment). He has said it's part of his agenda for the 88th Legislature so it will be seriously talked about it within a year.
