Northgate Area

Fundamentals of CP Student Housing Still Strong

January 30th, 2010  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Commons 7 and 8, General College Park, Housing, Northgate Area, Oakland Hall, Route 1, Starview Plaza, The Varsity, University View Overlook

Of the seven active construction projects (listed on our area projects by number page) in College Park right now, five of them are student housing. The other two are University-led office buildings in M-Square. Indeed, there is an unprecedented amount of dirt moving on Route 1 right now; proving that while the national economy may [...]

Student Housing – 6 months later and a whole new ballgame

October 24th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Housing, Knox Box Redevelopment, Northgate Area, On Campus Development, Politics, Route 1

It has been about 6 months since the issue of student housing really exploded in College Park and anyone (ourselves included) would have had a hard time predicting what has taken place since that time. What started off with hundreds of rising seniors losing their on-campus housing in April has progressed – or regressed rather [...]

Vogel Proposes New Student Housing Project

October 22nd, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Hilton Hotel, Housing, Northgate Area, The Varsity

The Hilton Hotel is out and a mixed use 700 bed (250 parking space) student housing project is in. Mark Vogel’s architect easily lived up to their last work (pictured just below) for the site when the developer proposed this project to the city council earlier this month. According to a Diamondback article, Vogel plans [...]

Student Housing Proposed at Northgate

August 16th, 2007  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in General College Park, Northgate Area, Raymond Towers

A condominium project first proposed in December 2006 by area developer Otis Warren is moving forward, and this time it seems possible it will be developed with students in mind. The project, located at 8400 Baltimore Avenue, will contain 300 residential units, 14,000 square feet of retail, and a 4-story 421 space parking garage. These [...]

Route One Development and the CP Airport

May 31st, 2007  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in College Park Airport, General College Park, Northgate Area, Route 1

This Op-Ed article was written by James Garvin, a College Park resident and user of the College Park Municipal Airport. The views expressed here don’t necessarily reflect the views of Rethink College Park. This article is in response to our recent post about the conflict between the airport and development in the Northgate [...]

Worse than we ever imagined

April 6th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in General College Park, Housing, Knox Box Redevelopment, Northgate Area, On Campus Development

The student housing crunch in College Park is not new by any means. It’s been going on far longer than the 9 months or so we’ve been covering it. Yet, yesterday’s revelation that 639 seniors will be dropped from on-campus housing next year hit a lot of folks close to home and has triggered a [...]

City Council, Student Leaders, RTCP Reach Major Compromise

March 14th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Downtown, General College Park, Housing, Knox Box Redevelopment, Mazza Grandmarc, Northgate Area, Route 1

We’re pleased to announce that a major (and in our view: reasonable) compromise was reached late last night on the impact fee waiver controversy. While everyone at the meeting agreed the boundary (that allows a county incentive for student housing) needs to be reduced from its original size (black line) to an area within the [...]

University View Part II – “Raymond Towers” Rendering Uncovered

February 15th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Housing, Northgate Area, Raymond Towers, Route 1

We stumbled across this early rendering of the 8400 Baltimore Avenue project directly north of the 16-story University View that we first reported on in early December. As proposed it would be a 12-story (4 parking, 8 residential) condominium tower with 301 units and 14,000 square feet of retail fronting Route 1. Koons Ford would [...]
