hindesky Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I wonder what the story is behind this building? Only 2 guys must be working on it, the eastern building is starting to look in disrepair already. Hines could have built a 200 story building in the time it's taking these guys. I wonder if they are hoping for a insurance payout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skwatra Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 They put down all the framework and rebar and actually laid some sidewalk today along Gray. Progress, but the facade of the western buildings hasn't been touched so I assume the fencing will remain up for some time and the new sidewalk won't be accessible.

hindesky Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Hard to believe but I actually got photographic evidence of some work being done to finish/demolish this project in someone's lifetime. Not sure if they were adding to the structure or removing from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajgallion Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Pretty sure this will not be finished anytime soon. I live down the street and it’s a ghost town. Alta West Gray will be finished before this will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Wow - this board has been pretty hard on long construction projects. This thread was started in 2013, they need to call one of those express funding places and get a predatory loan to get this built and delivered. Certainly renters will help drive some ROI as it sits 70% done it's insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nialsh Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Can the City of Houston sue the developer for keeping Bailey St closed? Combined with the Genesee St construction, it's difficult to get out of 4th ward going south. Is there precedent for such action? Even if the developer is deadbeat, that property is worth nearly $25 million (see 2 entries for 180 W GRAY ST on hcad.org). The community deserves financial compensation for lost time and added inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguysly Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Just closed on a house near this development. I walked by and two guys were working on the eastern-most building. The western most had one security guard walking around. There are multiple windows broken out, drywall that has been vandalized, graffiti, and ruined plaster. I guess I get to watch this go on for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an update, they were delivering a flatbed of drywall this weekend. There were more workers on site as well. Not a full crew but at least 20 instead of the normal 5 or so.

Kinglyam Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I've been on Bailey in 4th Ward since 2008, and have forgotten what it's like to be able to use my own street. At what point does a "temporary closure" become a permanent closure that would have required a variance? Even if they ever do finish this boondoggle, anyone want to take odds on these guys repairing the completely destroyed road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
