New Development in College Station: Century Square
I am sure many former students have come to town and noticed all of the new construction projects we have going. One of the new projects developing just adjacent to A&M on the corner of University and South College is Century Square. The development broke ground on 60 acres of university-owned land. It is strategically located on University Drive between College Avenue and South Texas Avenue where more than 67,000 cars drive every day! It is intended to be a walkable, urban location where people can work, shop, and play.
Leading this massive undertaking is Midway Companies, a Houston-based real estate development and investment firm. The goal of this development is to make it a regional destination. The developers are confident that the growth of College Station and the vast number of visitors that Texas A&M brings to town every year, will support the occupancy and traffic at Century Square.
