Urbannizer Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 They said the crane was going to go up on the 27th of this month. On my birthday, thanks for the update. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Urbannizer let me be the first to wish you an early happy birthday! I'm glad to bring you updates on this project. You provide us with so much inside material, and I know everyone enjoys getting it. This just happens to be a couple of blocks from my office. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longcat Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 They're definitely making progress on the crane. It's really towering over Rice Village already 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm curious what kind of fee they had to pay to close down Morningside for a whole week?I work on Kelvin and traffic has been crazy this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I was looking out the window looking at the snow the other day and realized I could see the crane for this looming over the tree line. I didn't think I'd be able to spot this project from my house but I guess I will! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Here are the latest images from this week. This is just about to rise above the fence and we should start seeing it above ground very soon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I remember walking around this area a couple weeks again. Hanovers development next to this is already a wonderful addition to that area. Great scale and has some nice spaces. This will be an awesome addition! Can't wait to see more of it. I like the fact that it faces Morningside Dr. pointing proudly towards Rice and the medical district. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 This is one of the most recent images of the construction. 5/28/14 I'm having trouble with image sizes . Hopefully I can get this other a little smaller. Its better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talltexan83 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The way Rice has been slowly using up the parking lot on the other side of the stadium - new tennis courts, continuing studies building, opera house?- makes me think this parcel is still critical to their long-term plans. I do wonder what the market price would be for a large tract like that though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownproud Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Eventually it will be a parking garage. It and the stadium are certainly eye sores for an otherwise gorgeous campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Rice Stadium is a decent looking sports facility. Too big for what it is, and who uses it, but still a nice modern stadium. I thought I heard/read years ago that the stadiums east side uppper deck would be replacaed by some sort of multi-use recreation/indoor sports arena facility? Regardless, the west side of campus has plenty of room for Rice to continue to expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one the first of it's kind in the nation and if you ever read about the building process it's pretty cool. It was built at incredible speed too. Not to mention it's where JFK made his signature "ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country". If you ever read the bit after that he mentions the upcoming game between Rice and t.u. lol. Not many people know that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was in there, they still had (very aged) wooden benches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "ask not..." was his inagural speech. I learned that at Texas ; ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Not the best pic but it shows that it is now going above ground level. 2014-06-07 17.25.53 by marclongoria, on Flickr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) I wonder if Hanover has anymore properties in this area. With this one and the other that they have built I wouldn't mind if they redeveloped most of University Place. Walking along that new complex and then walking beyond it is like night and day in terms of quality of the streetscape.
