The glass are going up.

As JLWM8609 noted, the 59/69 SB to 610 NB ramp is staying as-is at one lane. All other ramps are being rebuilt, some with major realignments. I don't know the reason for leaving the 59/69 SB to 610 NB ramp as-is, but I think lane balance is a factor. The west Loop northbound cannot absorb another lane of traffic, so the ramp is maintained as 1 lane and traffic will continue to back up onto the Southwest Freeway.

I love all the redevelopment going on in the 3rd Ward area with TSU and UofH leading the way along with Emancipation Park!

Due to that recent Harvey flooding event, I suspect high rise living will be more desirable in Houston and more mid and high rise residential towers will pop up everywhere, lol.

Checked out the park last night, security was out in force doing a great job, keeping people with dogs off the hill and no bums to be found. Park is very well done , you can't help think about the Aussie Tower across the street and how different it will feel once completed. I remember when it was just that field that free press was in for a few years, big change!

I have no inside information, but feel good about this building not changing its facade. They are really targeting Chinese capital, and the fact that ICBC just moved into a full-floor at Williams Tower tells me Houston is continuing to be a big gateway market for Asian investment. I wouldn't be surprised if the equity partner came from China and then ICBC provided the construction loan. Failed to reference, but HBJ article states: 'The Houston office is expected to offer corporate lending, real estate lending, cash management and credit card financial services'
