Check out CMU's master plan for maps of what they currently own:

CMU actually is moving towards demolishing
these two homes in that area. Not sure the plan here, but when they replace the old building next to TCS Hall, the new massing should go back to Filmore, so this may be just a mini-lot until they get more site control along S. Craig.
Really though, the whole area around S. Craig is doomed. CMU is going to acquire all of it, given enough time. Some of the commercial activity on S. Craig may survive, but all the remaining houses/small-scale buildings are going to be bought out and knocked down, given another 10-20 years.
