University View Overlook

Fundamentals of CP Student Housing Still Strong

January 30th, 2010  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Commons 7 and 8, Enclave at 8700 - Formerly Starview Plaza, General College Park, Housing, Northgate Area, Oakland Hall, Route 1, 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 [...]

Speaking of Eminent Domain… City Looks to Seal the Deal on #1 Liquors

December 2nd, 2009  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Northgate Park, Politics, Route 1, The Varsity, University View, University View Overlook

Apparently, the city’s patience with #1 Liquors is wearing thin. After nearly a decade of begging, prodding, and cajoling tactics, councilmembers are starting to contemplate eminent domain proceedings on College Park’s most infamous homestead holdout. According to the Diamondback the city would like to acquire the parcel in order to create “a park”: The council [...]

City Council Says Oui to University View Part Trois

May 14th, 2009  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in University View, University View Overlook

The Diamondback reports that the City Council gave a thumbs up to View III. The completion of the University View trifecta will begin at the end of next summer.  This will bring an additional 992 beds and 19,000 square feet of retail space.  By my estimate all three building provide in the neighborhood of 2600 [...]

Approval of Two New Student Housing Projects Provides 1167 Beds

October 17th, 2008  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in On Campus Development, University View Overlook

Md. approves $80M for new dorm The Maryland Board of Public Works approved the $80 million for Oakland Hall on Wednesday. Construction is scheduled to start August 2009 and be completed by April 2011.  Some of us at RTCP have wondered why Foulger-Pratt/Argo Investments (the developer of East Campus)  is not paying for this new [...]

University View Pictures Released

November 14th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Housing, Raymond Towers, University View, University View Overlook

As we reported Sunday, the University View plans an absolutely massive phased expansion – 434 units (1,416 student beds) and a whopping 30,000+ S.F. of retail. The 1st phase is planned to take place by 2010 (directly in front of the University View) with the other phases (including a parking garage) materializing by 2012. Special [...]

Tons of New Student Housing and Other Development

November 11th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in City Garage/Condos/City Hall, Housing, Raymond Towers, University View Overlook

As we’ve noted, the student housing landscape in College Park has changed dramatically in the past 6 months. Developers are falling over themselves to propose new projects. Otis Warren/ Steve McBride (best known for building the University View) were at the City Council meeting last Wednesday. They are now proposing a 12-story, 154 unit (516 [...]

2/6 City Council Development Coverage

February 8th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Hollywood Station, Housing, Politics, Projects, Route 1, The Jefferson, University View Overlook

Wednesday night’s City Council Meeting was choc full of development issues. Briefly, here’s what you missed if you didn’t want to brave the cold (or turn on your TV). –> The council indicated their initial satisfaction of the proposed 220 unit College Park West Development on the Lasik’s site. JPI, the developer, had the blessings [...]

City Council Covers Development Tonight at 8pm

February 6th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Hollywood Station, Housing, PDC Campfire Condominiums, Route 1, The Jefferson, University View Overlook

Tonight, the city council will mull over 3 major projects (of the 20 or so that are coming) to College Park. We haven’t previously covered any of these, so here is a brief preview: Detailed Site Plan for Hollywood Station 22,000 S.F. office building (here)(poor schematic here)(conceptual site plan here). Presentation by developer on College [...]
