There's a big push for more affordable housing right now.rcannaday said:
Where are these people coming from to fill these houses and new apartments?
If you are talking about where old Reliance intersects Austin's Colony Pkwy, That is supposed to be a new neighborhood with retail nearby. It was announced several months ago, but I have seen no work on the property lately. If you are talking further down closer to Coulter field, I believe there are several smaller communities going up. Somewhere up there the Messina Hof Winery is also building a neighborhood development called The Vineyard District.AG @ HEART said:
Anyone know what's going to be built on old reliance rd on the left side of the road heading towards coulter airfield?
No marking except the construction company but it looks to be a small neighborhood development.
Stylecraft has a subdivision at Sandy Point & OSR, but it is well outside the city limits.bcstx06 said:If you are talking about where old Reliance intersects Austin's Colony Pkwy, That is supposed to be a new neighborhood with retail nearby.

I am excited to see development all over the city, but I am most excited to see the new neighborhood go up near Lake Bryan on Sandy Point and 2818. That area of town has never seen a housing development so it will be a huge change to the area.
Also excited to see these initial HWY 47 housing and retail developments. I believe this is one of the the most scenic areas in Bryan/Brazos County and future development should take advantage of the hilly terrain when.

College Station doesn't go south of the county line, somewhere after Wellborn ends but before the frontage road merges back in you'll see a sign for the Navasota city limits even before you cross the river. If they only dammed the Navasota River, we could have a nice lake in the county, eliminate the vast floodplains to the east of the bypass, and have some high-value real estate that could attract some real business to the town.techno-ag said:CS goes south to the county line, but Bryan & BISD have the rest of the land.

For many, many years, since 1936, the Millican Dam project has been discussed but never funded. As late as 1975 it was still being considered. https://photos.app.goo.gl/iYg7ULJJYaRhAVU88PS3D said:College Station doesn't go south of the county line, somewhere after Wellborn ends but before the frontage road merges back in you'll see a sign for the Navasota city limits even before you cross the river.

The CS ETJ goes southeast past the Navasota River and into Grimes county. I assume that the future plans would be to possibly annex the ETJ land? The ETJ also goes into Burleson county. Long term any incorporated lands are fair game for eventual annexation?

So the Pleasant Hill Subdivision going up near Sandy Point and 2818 has gone from being a new neighborhood of just under 300 homes to a development of 1,600 homes. This is going to be huge for that area of Bryan.
"Pleasant Hill (Bryan, Texas) 1,600 lot multi-phase planned community"
https://yalgoengineering.com/projects.html
There is so much going up in that area of Bryan that I'm surprised that there has been no retail related developments announced, such as a small grocery store to start. I could see Aldi expanding near there and a few chain restaurants to start.

Having it under design and having it actually happen are a long way apart. If retail built for every planned subdivision there would be a lot of stores out in the middle of nowhere. If and when it gets built - and occupied - they will come. Good to see development in N Bryan.
Short drive to Mumford. Maybe their high school enrollment will grow.bcstx06 said:

"High end RV park for Former Students" on Leonard Rd? Is this where they requested annexation by the CoB?
Rudder Landing is closer to Jane Long and Beck st area than a store at the intersection of 2818 and Sandy Point would be. Rudder landing and that whole developed area area there is going to prevent major box stores from going farther north and north west. Retailers want to locate near population centers and where other retailers are located.bcstx06 said:EBrazosAg said:bcstx06 said:

This neighborhood (Pleasant Hill) is already under construction. And I wasn't meaning retail just for that neighborhood, I mean for that area over all. The Lenard Road area has several neighborhoods going up, Beck Street and near Jane Long as well.
In other news, Rudder Pointe has already begun construction on 10 or so homes with more starting soon.
In fact, Bryan has beat CS in number of house permits at least the last 2 years if not 3 years. According to what I heard on WTAW, the average selling price of a home in Bryan is now about $340,000 and just a little bit lower in CS . Also, the sales tax revenue difference between the 2 cities is beginning to get just a little closer. Sales tax in Bryan this year is up about a million and in CS about 300,000.Bryanisbest said:
Bryan had more single family building permits issued than CS did last year. 4 or 5 years ago Bryan had 1/3 as many as CS. Things are changing around here due to CSISD running out of space for new CS subdivisions.
