A news release from Oldham Goodwin states they will have details about redevelopment in the near future.

Oldham Goodwin is pleased to announce the sale of 601 University Drive. Executive Vice President Clint Oldham arranged the sale of this landmark retail site on University Drive in College Station. With over 92,000 square feet of existing retail space on over 9 acres of prime real estate, the property presents a unique opportunity for future redevelopment in the heart of College Station along the gateway to Texas A&M University.

“This one has been a long time coming. We’ve had our eyes on it since completing the Chimney Hill redevelopment next door,” Oldham said about the redevelopment of the property. “The former University Drive Albertson’s location is obviously familiar to the community, and now it will serve the people of Bryan-College Station again. We’re excited to be a part of the redevelopment and future of such a key property.”

Originally developed as a Randall’s grocery store in 1991, the site became an Albertson’s in 1997 before closing in 2011. More recently a portion of the property has been home to A+ tutoring, while the grocery store box has remained vacant. Oldham Goodwin will have more details about the development of the location in the near future. Click to read more at www.wtaw.com.

A business park with industrial, office and retail offerings is under discussion for Robinson Road in Oak Ridge North’s extraterritorial jurisdiction as part of the city’s ongoing economic development.

At the April 11 meeting of the City Council, Nate Newman of Newman Development Corp. discussed recent progress toward a development agreement with the city for Woodlands Ridge Business Park, which would require a public utility expansion. City officials said in meeting materials there was adequate supply for water and sewer to be extended to the proposed complex.

According to city materials, the process began in May 2019 when Newman requested a predevelopment meeting regarding a future development in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction as well as potential annexation into the city.

On April 11, Newman said the development company agreed to the several requests the city had previously made for the project, including upgrading its plans for a facade as well as incorporating a retail center as part of its plan. Click to read more at www.communityimpact.com.
