A new $130-million residential development called the Hub on Campus is being proposed just blocks away from the Texas A&M University campus in College Station. The project would include an 8-story building with 406 units and a 10-story parking structure, along with other amenities. Construction could begin as early as May 2026 and is expected to be completed by June 2028.

Why it matters

The Hub on Campus development is part of a growing trend of large-scale, off-campus student housing projects being built near major universities across the country. These hubs aim to provide students with convenient, amenity-rich housing options close to campus, but they also raise questions about the impact on local housing markets and the university's role in shaping the surrounding community.

The details

The proposed Hub on Campus development would be located at 503 Cherry Street in College Station, just blocks from the Texas A&M University campus. The project would include an 8-story residential building with 406 units and a 10-story parking structure, as well as other residential amenities. The total project size is estimated at over 1.12 million square feet and has a budget of roughly $130 million. The development would be designed by Chicago-based architecture firm Antunovich Associates, which has worked on numerous other student housing projects.
