The University of New Mexico today began the process of condemning 24 empty lots of land owned by an Albuquerque family for development of its south campus.
UNM is also purchasing nine other lots belonging to different families in what is the continual expansion of its presence in the Avenida César Chávez and University SE vicinity.
It is the 24 lots, off Sunshine Terrace SE owned by a family identified only as the Gutierrezes, that UNM wants to buy through eminent domain. Sunshine Terrace is just south of Avenida César Chávez and runs from Buena Vista Drive to slightly east of Interstate 25. The Gutierrezes have agreed to the condemnation of their land, and UNM today filed a request for a court to appraise the land.
