And for young people like Stiteler and Perminter— both of whom are actually teenage students at Northgate High School — it’s a powerful stepping stone toward the future These students and many more are now doing internships at Suburban earning course credit at their high school while building professional skills and solid experience in jobs that interest them The internship program is just one of the ways that Northgate School District is making the most of the unique community asset that Suburban has become How did this remarkable place — a hybrid mashup of business incubator healthcare hub and educational resource — come to be Suburban General Hospital served the families of Bellevue borough for a century this once-booming hospital began “struggling to be supported by a depleting population,” says Matt Bauer who serves as Stiteler’s internship supervisor resources were pulled and the hospital was shuttered looming over Bellevue like a painful reminder of the community’s struggles The community’s economic struggles were impacting public health and education What if Suburban could be used to help on both fronts was this: “How do we bring in early startup companies or nonprofits that are very mission-focused mission-aligned with the nonprofit health system and how do we open the doors to the community Northgate School District was an early tenant at Suburban and they now occupy the entire seventh floor Since the earliest days of brainstorming the building’s redevelopment the district has thought creatively about making the most of this resource as a site for internships and hands-on STEM learning One key to making impactful internships possible: The district now uses block scheduling offering students four 80-minute class periods per day instead of the traditional day of eight or nine short periods “You can’t do an internship when you’re going there for 40 minutes By the time you would get your laptop turned on it just wouldn’t be enough time,” says guidance counselor Zack Burns “Block scheduling helps in terms of the amount of time that students can leave.” the district began designing the internship program to ensure that students would learn real skills and earn course credit in the process “We changed our program of studies so that we can qualify anything that meets the 120 credit hours as an accredited internship,” says Dr Northgate’s director of partnerships and equity “I work directly with the counselor at the high school to say Here’s some of the needs that they may have — they need some help in marketing or they need some help working statistics and crunching spreadsheets or they need help with food service,’’ Evancho says “Then Zack works to identify and place those kids.” Not every student at Northgate chooses to do an internship And those high schoolers who express an interest need to earn their jobs then the student is interviewed by a prospective employer they have an initial meeting with Burns and their new boss to discuss three clear learning goals for the internship the student keeps a log of all that they’re learning “We don’t want students to just be interns just to put on their resume that they did an internship But we also want them to have an experience that’s not just like we’re sending kids out for free labor.’” “They can say ‘I know someone who is willing to hire me on But many of those who are eager for work experience do find their way to Suburban which is just a four-minute drive from the high school “She’s a go-getter,” says Bauer of his intern Stiteler This is where we have to get to.’ She takes it upon herself to go meet with the people and create really cool and fun looking designs.” a staff member at Suburban met with Stiteler to create wayfinding decals for the building’s physical therapy office what do you do at the high school?’ She had no idea Jeanelle was a student She assumed she was a teacher,” Bauer says “Kudos to Janelle for being professional enough to be considered a teacher before she even graduated.” That kind of interaction is just what Burns hopes for when he helps students find internships that spark their interest my resume just had grass cutting on it,” Burns says “These internships allow students to put something on their resume — some real quality skills and sometimes certifications Dismantling of the former Sears store is underway at Northgate Mall to make way for a planned BJ's Wholesale Club store in one of the biggest changes at the shopping center in years Texas (KBTX) - The College Station City Council voted to deny a proposed plan to create a voluntary rental inspection program on Thursday night The council also passed some changes for the Northgate district At its Oct. 7 meeting, the council decided to table a conversation surrounding a proposed program for voluntary rental inspections a number of representatives from professional real estate and property management groups spoke out against the item and encouraged the council to wait to make a decision The voluntary rental inspection program would have allowed property owners to ‘opt in’ to an inspection Properties that passed would then be displayed on the city’s website The decision came after about an hour of discussion and around a dozen residents sharing their thoughts on the item the council voted 4-3 against creating the program citing programs available through Texas A&M University and the city itself and William Wright voted against a motion to deny the program Texas A&M has an Off Campus Student Services Office which works to advocate for Aggies living off-campus. Through this program, and the SeeClickFix service through the city the council determined that adequate services were available the College Station City Council also approved changes to the way permitting works in the Northgate district and Dennis Maloney voted against the changes According to the presentation delivered by city staff the changes to the permitting system will require conditional use permits for new bars Staff said during the presentation these conditional use permits (CUPs) are designed to help manage growth in the entertainment district and the changes will only affect bars looking to expand Item 9.2 UDO CUP Amendment by KBTX on Scribd One of the reasons some city leaders were in favor of passing the changes is due to public safety concerns there have been 18,729 calls to law enforcement over the past two years business owners in Northgate and residents spoke out against the item saying the plans could disrupt the tradition and charm the area holds for many Concerns about high rise developments affecting business were also brought up acknowledging the frustration of the large crowd Item 9.2 UDO CUP Amendment by KBTX on Scribd Light rail trains are now zooming past the Northgate Apartments but this winter marks the end of the line for the low-rent complex built about 75 years ago The Seattle Housing Authority, which bought the 8.5-acre, 210-unit complex by Northgate Mall in 2019 is closing it for demolition and redevelopment The aging two-story wooden buildings will soon make way for a mixed-income community with as many as 1,400 new apartments some of the households that remain are spending the cold holiday season without central heat because the complex’s steam heating system has broken down Two-thirds of the old complex’s households moved out this year with relocation assistance from the public housing agency which is nailing plywood over their apartment doors when they leave Billy Levins tucks himself into a sleeping bag at night he said Monday outside his ground-floor apartment The Seattle Housing Authority has provided electric space heaters to residents without radiator heat His sleeping bag is warm and he’s used to cold nights because he was homeless for years A young family is also using a space heater despite it driving up their electric bill because they need to keep their 5-month-old daughter warm They said the authority is providing financial help for their move soon Kerry Coughlin, a spokesperson for the authority, said all six of the complex’s boilers started failing last winter. The agency made repairs and began replacing them but the new boilers stressed the complex’s underground steam system, causing leaks in the pipes. Some residents were put up in hotels With demolition and redevelopment of the complex scheduled to start in 2025 it wasn’t feasible to replace the entire heating system “So we brought in space heaters where needed to make sure that everyone had adequate heat,” she said “We also moved up our planned relocation program beginning with the buildings with the most boiler problems.” An on-call contractor continues to work on the boilers “(Seattle Housing Authority) offers a generous relocation package and provides individualized support,” Coughlin said “The number of households at Northgate reduces almost daily.” It’s a slow-rolling goodbye for a complex that’s housed multiple generations of residents with modest incomes near the shopping mall and Interstate 5 announced it would partner with City Hall on redevelopment plans The agency has previously undertaken wholesale redevelopment projects in other communities Stay secure and make sure you have the best reading experience possible by upgrading your browser In just a couple of months, the city plans to sell the parking lot to a developer with plans for high-rise student housing. Several business owners in Northgate worry this will affect their future. If you’ve been to Northgate recently, you’ve likely seen construction in the area, and if all goes as planned, you’ll start to see a lot more next year. A small area plan for Northgate will be a process lasting up to six months, according to the city. Officials said the goal of these developments is to bring the land back onto the tax rolls, but business owners in Northgate, like John Raney, have concerns about how the city is going about it. “I don’t think there’s much we can do about it because the city is going to do what the city wants to do... They’ll say, ‘well yeah, we talked to everybody at Northgate,’ and they have, but they’re still going to do what they want to do,” Raney, Tex-Ag store owner, expressed. While the city assured that no plans are set in stone, the worry remains prominent for business owners like Raney. “Frankly, if it weren’t for internet sales, I couldn’t be here anymore,” admitted Raney. Raney has owned Tex-Ag Bookstore for more than 50 years. Change is something he’s familiar with, but it doesn’t always benefit him. “I have less traffic here today than I had 30 years ago,” he explained. “I guess my concern for my business is parking, and it’s been that way for quite some time.” Raney and many other business owners in Northgate worry about redevelopment hurting the way they do business. Voodoo Brewing Company along Church Avenue has only been open for three months, and its owner told KBTX Northgate was the selling point for coming to College Station. “So close to the stadium and so close to the school; we are so thrilled to be right here. That being said, people are having trouble finding us,” shared Voodoo’s owner Rona Bomkamp. Before opening, Bomkamp said she had no idea of any development plans in the area. “The day we got our keys to start construction on our location, there was a bulldozer being delivered across the street, and we said, ‘well, what’s that going to be?‘ And we found out that day; 20 stories directly across the street,” Bomkamp relayed. The city said it hopes to hear and address those concerns through what is being called a “small area plan designed” to set a common vision for Northgate. “Northgate District is a very special place for many, especially College Station as well as many current and past residents, and we want to make sure that you know we provide a development project that meets those goals and objectives,” added Michael Ostrowski, College Station’s chief development officer.

new universal playground at the 2-acre Northgate Neighborhood Park in the northwest part of the city during which time no traffic disruptions are expected A comprehensive review of the city's 35 playgrounds back in 2017 identified the existing structure at Northgate Neighborhood Park to be in need of replacement The new inclusive play place will provide a fun accessible and engaging space for children of all abilities The park's new design was selected by the public via an online survey and series of community pop-ups The total construction cost of the new facilities at Northgate Park is $974,090.54 and was federally funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) In 2021, the city of Salinas received $51,567,313 in COVID-relief funds, according to the staff report The city council allocated ARPA funds for a number of government service projects including $2 million for playground structures The majority of the park funds were to be spent in the 93905 and 93906 zip codes which were hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic The Northgate Neighborhood Park playground's grand reopening is scheduled for July 2025 The Northgate Neighborhood Park is the latest in a series of actions undertaken by the city to either add to its public parks or refurbish existing ones On April 7, a groundbreaking ceremony at Closter Park in the Alisal District marked the start of a $10 million

potential for a student housing high-rise in Northgate is under consideration by City Council leading to conversations with local residents "The Northgate parking lot is a very unique piece of property that we have to take a little more due diligence on," College Station Mayor The College Station City Council was considering adding a student housing high-rise in the Northgate surface parking lot We have a lot of student housing buildings in town and I'm not sure if they know just how many students are coming in every single year and how there is a lack of space especially on campus," A&M Student Kevin Lynch said But Mayor John Nichols told 15ABC that city council members want to make sure that's what neighbors want It's important for us to get that right," he said Kevin Lynch told 15ABC that adding more housing would benefit many students "I think it's all right to add another place for student housing," he said that would drive down some of the living prices here." But Eva Maurer tells15ABC she would rather see something that all neighbors could use but we don't have a lot for the community though," she said "There's more than just college kids that live in College Station and we need just as much help as the college kids," she said Mayor Nichols assured 15ABC that the city wants neighbors' voices to be heard before a final decision is made "It's a great time to have this kind of discussion and be able to hear the citizens talk about what you want to see there and what you think makes sense."

strategy on a larger more efficient scale with an agile and opportunistic approach The fund pursues value-add industrial and mixed-use properties across select growth markets with a primary focus on Texas “The fund offers investors the ability to exclusively participate in M2G’s investment strategy and deal flow,” said Susan Miller Garland is one of Dallas-Fort Worth’s most established and mature industrial hubs M2G is seeing significant tenant demand in Garland for users Northgate is around 98% occupied with 10 tenants ranging from 2,000 to 86,000 square feet with one 4,000-square-foot vacancy available Zach Riebe and Travis McEldowney represented M2G in the transaction The leasing team for the project will be Lee & Associates’ Brett Lewis and Taylor Stell The Garland submarket has about 57 million square feet of industrial product with about a 4% vacancy rate compared with the market average of 10% vacancy with about 3% of stock under construction Miller noted that the trailing 12-month market rent growth has been 5.1% and averaged 8.4% over the trailing five years (2019-23) including addressing “deferred maintenance,” replacing the roofs power washing and restriping the parking lots and creating a make-ready space in the existing 4,000-square-foot vacancy M2G’s goal is to create places where users want to be with our best-in-class integrated development team driving
