FINC 677 & LDEV 664: Camp strake

With the recent transaction between the Boy Scouts of America and Johnson Development Co., Dr. Peterson decided to bring this case to class and he let us bring our ideas for a development for this site.
Although we did not have an insight from the developer as we did in the Millican Reserve project and we certainly had fun. I have to admit though, I hope this transaction does not mean the beginning of the end of the scouts traditions.

Here a few general highlights of this project: 

Þ It is locates on the intersection of loop 336 and I-45, which is a great location as it draws demand from east, west through the loop 336 and takes about 12 to 13 minutes to get there from the Woodlands thanks to its proximity to I-45.

Þ Has an area of 2,046 acres.

Þ Will infill urban site within the city- agreement with the city

Þ Has a great access and visibility from 336 Loop and I-45

Þ Presence of natural assets- grand lake, deer lake, and trails. Johnson Development plans to preserve almost 1,200 acres of green space.

Þ Close to the San Jacinto River Corridor

Þ Has an Interesting site history

Þ Range of residential options

Þ Mixed use site
