Snapped this the other day. Slightly wonky since I had to photomerge a multiple photos to get the entire building in the shot.

Topping out tree. Someone at Sage Plaza let me in today.

I'm back !! 3 months to the day after my accident - took my first bike ride - feels amazing to get back outside !!! Porta Potty away....

First and second floor galleries are pretty much done and have art installed. Third floor is nearing completion and should see art being moved in probably this week. Missing tube glass should be here first week of November. I’m so excited for everyone else to see this building. We’ve worked so hard to get to this point and it’s gratifying to see the excitement in the larger community!

Third floor gallery barrel ceilings...

Hard hats onsite when I went by Saturday afternoon

The final push to release this to the Museum.

Hanover moves fast.

When I first rode by they were finished installing the climber for the crane and were in the process of placing the tie-in beams. Second time I rode by they were jumping the tower crane, 4 sections according to a worker I talked with.

Favorite tower going up right now. Amazing!

Off topic, but when we lived in Norway, we could not find a home for rent that had a bathtub. I was politely told by the agent that "Norwegians don't want to sit in a pool of their own filth!". So we bought a Chinese cedar tub off of Alibaba and filled it up using the shower head. Years later, it is now sitting in our yard here in Houston as a planter!

The Green Bay Packers were staying at the Marriott Marquis and starting to load the busses for the trip to NRG stadium.

Just seen on Twitter. JitB is gone

I like that matt black finish. One set of glass comes from Germany.

Noticed this exterior remodel today. This is behind Ninfa's Uptown

Not at all. That is in fact the correct way to feel about it.

I live in Austin and this one looks like everything that is going up here....Austin just gets excited when they get a tall building, they don't care what it looks like

I’m not sure about angle changing the light picture @X.R., but the first one was taken on an especially cloudy day and with the interior lights on. Last two were taken yesterday with no interior lights on. So I guess it just depends on time of day, cloud cover, etc. In regards to the avant-garde art installation, the yellow cylindrical one is actually an interactive piece in which the public is able to add whatever they want to the piece. I believe it’s called “Your Mama Doesn’t Work Here”

Here are some additional pics of UH College of Medicine construction. I'm not sure why they built a retention pond when there is a bayou next door.

This is a view from the penthouse on 40th floor at 2929 Weslayan, rent is $16,335 a month, for that amount you would think they would have better handrails that aren’t rusted, views are pretty cool though.

Barbed wire can't keep me from taking my pics.

Love that design.

---Update--- v.05 - Beta - The Post-Covid Reboot - Development Update 007 Week of 10/19/2020 - 10/25/2020 Hey everyone. Rebooting this again. Not a lot of updates, but I'm slowing getting back into this again. Two weeks after I announced this project in this thread, I got laid-off. Obviously this required me to reorganize priorities as it has done for many. To be honest, it took a long time to find the motivation to get back into this project. Its just so big, and there were so many projects that started kicking off, and at one point I felt so far behind that

@IronTiger the current intersection is absolute cancer. You current have a 4-way intersection which, because of the 45 degree angle of the Navigation bend and Jensen, ends up actually being an 8-signal intersection as the left turns aren't properly aligned, so they have their own sequence. Add in the stoplight on the Navigation to Navigation right turn, and you technically have a 9-sequence light for a four-way intersection. It's also important to note that the amount of traffic going from Runnels to Navigation or Jensen is usually 1-3 cars, per cycle, max. The traffic from that side is neglig

Couple of pics from last Thursday. Overally, was kind of interesting to be shopping in a store where basically everything is laid out nicely. Grocery section relatively small. Maybe 1/3 the size of a suburban Super Target? Mostly dry/packaged goods. They did have a small fresh food area. The food items extend back into a dogleg in the back corner of the store, so it's a little bigger than expected. I should have taken a pic, but clearly soda delivery not ready yet because the whole soda aisle was just regular coke and diet coke sitting long ways one deep to take up th

Finally some work being done on the Flora Restaurant.
