MidtownCoog Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I doubt this project will ever take off. Just another wishful press release IMHO. I remember going to Northgate Live for bad music in the early 90s.Not questioning if some have the money, just question how smart they are for spending it that way. B/CS is not exactly a tourist destination. It makes Houston look like NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8TIV Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Yeah, theres no telling. Although within the last 5 years the Northgate area has really developed nicely. Obviously no one vacations in C.S. but property values will go up as more and more people move there. A&M will keep growing and being a true college town, occupancy rates are always high with new students every year. It may be a big reason for parents buying homes there for their kids, and renting it out after they graduate. But I wouldn't buy one of those condos, I'd rather buy a yacht.

pineda Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 I can envision some people buying this type of place for their child to live in during their college years, and then selling their "investment" property after that student graduates. Kinda like a really, really nice dorm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceCity Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 This may take off. If there are any fans in Texas who would buy a condo just to watch a football game -- it's the Aggies. Several of them would probably get together to buy a 750k condo though. Personally, I'd buy one of the cheaper ones. College Station is a nice town, but a 750k condo seems excessive.

GovernorAggie Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I think this is a great development for College Station. First American Bank was also moving its headquarters to a new 10 story bldg to be built in C.S.--but this was before the bank was bought by Citibank recently.I also saw that the Gateway development on University Drive is supposed to be a "Woodlands Mall-clone". I think there is also a pretty sizeable residential component of that project.There's a Pappas Burger under construction as well as an NHL-sized ice skating rink.College Station is easily a bang-for-your-buck town. I am very impressed with this 70,000 person town (probably only 25-30,000 permanent residents, though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
