texan Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Chancellor of the Texas A&M System John Sharp starts talking about some plans for this property in minute 21 of the linked video. Specifically, he mentions 750 units of high-rise student housing. Also of note is he suggested Baylor CoM is dropping out of TMC3. http://mediamatrix.tamu.edu/streams/601899/Faculty_Senate_Meeting_Recording_for_November_11,_2019 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pretty solid upgrade, and at the same time I like how they kept balconies. Gives a subtle reminder of what was.

Subdude Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 It is unfortunate they are removing the railings from the balconies. Usable balconies would have been a great amenity for workers there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AREJAY Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 ABC13 just had a blurb saying that A&M is releasing an announcement today at 11 about a development in Houston that would be “one of the largest in the country”. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREguy13 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Part of the deal is A&M sells its 2121 W Holcombe land to Medistar for $51m? That would be best case scenario to have Medistar completely redevelop that plot of land across Main Street. Main and Holcombe will be quite the intersection in 5+ years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the gateway station would ever get off the ground too. It shares the same block as the A&M development. I wonder if the A&M development will be a tipping point for the transit center . https://mcmunnnicholas.wixsite.com/nicholasmcmunnarch/copy-of-confidential-casino-and-res 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medical office building looks a little value-engineered here compared to ekdrm's rendering and the one in the Chron article. Still a nice building.

From the picture : the lower left hand corner is the remodeled former bank building, the one facing Fannin street will be built where there is a parking garage which will either be torn down or incorporated? into the design, and lastly the tallest building on Main will be built where currently stands a one or two story building. Amazing project. Not an Aggie , but nevertheless Way to Go! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
