55+/- acres with over 2700ft of river frontage on the high bank of the Brazos River, located less than 5 miles from Texas A&M University. Property is a blank canvas of opportunity with no zoning restrictions, the ability to divide, and very limited restrictions. Well suited for single or multiple homesites, a subdivision, recreation, or commercial uses. The land has a mix of stunning native pecans, oaks, cottonwood trees, two ponds, a wet weather creek, and numerous natural springs.

What are the boards thoughts on commercial development along the river? Feasible? Something there is demand for?

AGGIE RAINFOREST: Gameday cabana mansions on flood proof stilts with a view of the river that includes a tailgating theme park on ground level; IMAX televisions playing exclusive Aggie Football content. Drone beer and food delivery! There's billions to be made.

I know the contractor working on the project. This is the correct name.AggieAces06 said:lawless89 said:
Sorry if already mentioned, but what's going on at the other side of the Academy parking lot? Dirt work and construction fence going up yesterday. Can't be a bank since there's another one on the other side of the parking lot. Right??
Supposed to be a new restaurant. Varsity Grill I think?

If that bill ever gets passed, it's Ozark time...
And given the current state of the insurance markets in Texas and Florida - any underwriting involving the insurance costs is going to blow up that deal unless someone just really has a lot of cash they are ok throwing at it to make the deal work and plan to self-insure. But very few lenders are really going to be jumping at the bits to finance that dealcrbongos said:

They conveniently leave out that property is ~85% floodplain.
That's a good idea during the summer. Make it a Chacho's.Captn_Ag05 said:
It appears Las Palapas has "closed for remodeling."
did not know this. have not been to the one here but the ones in SA are great.dallasiteinsa02 said:
Hopefully, they are remodeling it into a San Antonio Las Palapas. I will never figure out why they didn't bring in their staff from one of those locations to at least train them. The quality isn't even in the same ball park.
Agree here. It is like they thought they could run a discount version of their regular locations as far as food quality. Not horrible, just surprising and a step down (or 2) from the San Antonio locations I have been to.dallasiteinsa02 said:

"remodeling" in a location that you've only been to about 2 years?
BTW, Salada will close for 2 weeks in June for a remodel.
I think that this is legit.
