A couple of images of the first of the Icon condo buildings. It will be 12-stories and located on Villa Maria near Traditions.
I've lived here 12 years and am in commercial construction. I don't even know where College Station's Midtown is...Captn_Ag05 said:I am still not convinced about this location for the type of development. I think right off 47 would make more sense. But, I am not putting money into the development and I trust that the people that are spent a lot of time looking at locations.dallasiteinsa02 said:
The renderings look good but I have a feeling that building is going to be dated quickly if not maintained at a very high level.
This is the type of housing development that was discussed and featured in renderings when College Station's Midtown project was launched. So far that area has been extremely underwhelming.

Right next to Bryan's Midtown.
But seriously, CS naming it that after Bryan already had one in such a prominent location was a bad idea.

Anybody got notices from COCS on the Texas Avenue & University Drive Redevelopment Plan?
Just looked it up. They are doing an amendment to the comprehensive plan.birdman said:

Quote:
The City of College Station is beginning a new planning effort for the Texas/University Redevelopment Area. This effort will engage property owners and interested residents in a process to envision a cohesive district that welcomes visitors and residents into the City, incorporates vertical and horizonal mixed-uses, supports existing commercial uses, and provides a greater mix of housing options to support the growing population seeking to live, work, and play near Texas A&M University. The effort will imagine changes to the area that better serve the two major corridors that intersect within the redevelopment area and will complement the nearby hospitality corridor, Eastgate area, and Texas A&M University campus. This planning effort stems from discussions with residents and appointed and elected officials during the recent update to the City's Comprehensive Plan.

i don't see how city hall is part of urban development...prime real estate wasted.
. If they will just build a new The Grapevine I will forgive anything! I sure hope the people that uprated the comment aren't the same people that were angry over CoCS' buying of the Macy's building. The U-Haul isn't that bad but can you imagine the backlash if CoCS swooped in and bought the property for more than it was worth?mgreen said:
As picky as College Station is, how is that UHaul allowed to still be in that location? Eyesore!!

The best thing the city could do is to upzone that entire area and remove as many development hurtles as possible. parking requirements, height maximums, setbacks, floor-to-area ratios, etc. Once that's done, its only a matter of time before it's redeveloped.
Unlike what some people will tell you on Reddit, that's not going to create instant redevelopment and high density. Already height maximums are capped out by proximity to the airport, you won't get much taller than the Rise.dilliam said:

We enjoyed Le Petit Cochon. KidDoc had the duck confit with brussel sprouts and potatoes and I had the pork chop with collard greens and grits. The appetizer was a baguette with prosciutto and cheese and a lemon tart for dessert.
All of it was delicious. The cocktails were fantastic and the service was top-notch.
It was a bit loud in the dining area but the management is aware of it and will remedy the situation. The prices are such that we won't be dining there on regular rotation but the portion sizes are on the larger side so you'll get a couple of meals out of it.
