The site plans for the complex at 203 Church Ave (Church and First) has been submitted to the city for approval. It is a 23-story, 208-unit apartment with ground floor retail and is called The Opus. I have not been able to find any sketches of what it will look like yet.

I am disappointed that the ground floor retail is only set to be 3,000 square feet. So, it won't be a grocery store or city Target type space. Maybe the next high-rise!

I don't think they're building anymore CityTarget-sized stores anymore. As for grocery stores, the best chance for that is building something in the old Albertsons spot. (I still wish they had gone through with the original plan and reopened it like they had planned to do.)

Site plan for "Opus at College Station" is in the new development list for January. Looks to be 23 floors with 208 units and 554 beds total. This is the project that received a height variance.

Demolition has begun for the Nova Northgate tower

A little more information on the Nova Northgate project located at Wellborn and University, which is apparently being re-branded as Aspire A&M II.

Aspire A&M will feature a 19-story structure encompassing 11,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, 718 garage parking spaces, and a comprehensive amenity package including two rooftop pools, fitness facilities, study rooms, a theater, and a game lounge

The Aspire A&M project site is located on University Avenue, within the Northgate Entertainment District, providing students with walking access to the College of Engineering, Mays Business School, and nearby attractions including the Memorial Student Center, Kyle Field, Student Recreation Center, and local dining destinations. The significant enrollment growth at Texas A&M University underscores the demand for quality student housing in the area.

That looks great.

It looks like something the Soviet Union used to build in Central Asia!
