I visited Houston for the first time since Thanksgiving 2019, and managed to snap a few picks of the building as I was coming down I-45. Got to say, its one handsome building, and you can really see how wide it looks compared to the JP Morgan Chase Building:

Live Nation.

The tower crane is already getting close to the concrete pump boom.

Looks like demo units are being built out.

It’s going to be a French-themed nightclub named Discothèque Krogeré (pronounced KRO-JHER-E). 😝

Drove by last night and my gosh this thing makes such an impact!!! So happy to see Montrose being loved and taken care of...i get so excited by all that is going on, especially at what i consider the main intersection and heart of houston...it really is such a cool area 🏆 and just a note: i just want to say that it SEEMS we are reaching an almost kind of end to all this pandemic mess, so hey, thank YOU everyone here for making the last year or so not only bearable but interesting, informative and fun...this has been such a comfort to come to on days of stress, storms, flooding, wint

Here's what the facility will look like The Houston Spaceport is really becoming a hub of activity, another major tenant will be announced this month and will build a 125,000 sf facility to support 250 jobs. In addition, a new EDGE center is being planned. With the unnamed development, Axiom, and Collins, 1500 jobs will be created at the spaceport. https://communityimpact.com/houston/bay-area/development/2021/06/02/houston-spaceport-to-one-day-house-new-larger-training-facility/

The dirt has reached the top of the easterly tunnels.

That shouldn't be a problem in Montrose.

And the latest anchor tenant has been announced! Intuitive Machines will build a $40 million, 125,000 sf facility on a 12.5 acre lot. This will represent an expansion from their space in the HASC. It's a great to see another Houston born and grown company as anchor tenant at the spaceport. https://communityimpact.com/houston/bay-area/development/2021/06/10/breaking-intuitive-machines-expanding-in-houston-spaceport/

Hopefully they don't let them set up the pricing model for parking in the garage. $1 parking + $.21 facility fee + $.39 environmental tax + .....

They haven't blocked the bicycle lane on Lamar so far but they closed off the lane for cars on Crawford but left the bike lane there. Entire area has the construction fencing.

Building will be down in a few days.

I think it does have its own lighting system, yes. Its why its see through glass and not something else. In other news, my trip to Houston ended and I caught some more pics on the way out: Despite how imposing the building is from the northern approach, its prominence is rather miniscule from the southern TX-288/I-69 approach. It seems JP Morgan is just enough to hide it in most angles:

Demo started this morning.

Went by Tuesday, about the same stage as @hindesky posted above. The water hole has dried up, and every day a little more debris is hauled off. The lead excavator (my new buddy 😁) told me they have about 2 weeks left to scrape it clean, before they move on. It's amazing how good the view of downtown Houston is from here.

Water and sewer disconnect and a Cherry track hoe on site.

A new chain link fence is being installed around the currently unfenced - and homeless encampment - at this location.

If you start at 10 stories from the pool deck I count 45 stories with 1 more to go.

Cherry might need a bigger "hoe" to bring this one down.

Man, some of those are nice. The future that Demolition Man saw for us is coming to be.

Hopefully it's better than 609 Main.

You'd think, right? I'm a 39-year reservoir engineer working for a small O&G company. This current price helps, but it doesn't cause us to celebrate yet. My personal opinion is that 80 to 85 $/STB will be the break-through price. But even then, the big question is, will it hold or fold? Unfortunately, too many of the necessary rigs and service equipment have been stacked and sat unmaintained to corrode beyond use. Service personnel have mostly gone on to other careers or retired and new bodies can't be hired and trained fast enough to do anything for years. Even the operating compan

Underground parking is still available.

This is being called "The Vic".

TDLR Project Details. September 2021 start date. Around the corner!

London House River Oaks a Boutique Midrise. I’ll post the graphics banner later tonight. How long was this property on the market? After 2 weeks RD scooped it up. Incredibly fast!

Okey-dokey, oil is pushing $70 a barrel. Is it party time again?

Cherry is at the scene! The garage demolition at 6929 Main St. should start this weekend. The Horizon Tower will dominate that corner. Can't wait!

^^^ @gene you are indeed correct my pal, it has truly been a tumultuous couple of seasons with all of the pain and strife of COVID-19, and related horrors. however, we have all seem to have made it out unscathed. THANK YOU for the kind sentiment and love! keep calm, and carry on...

I am so in love with the design of this building. It's like nothing that is being built in Texas. The abstract lines make this project so unique and FINALLY a cool homage to this city. Can't wait to see it completed!

This project was cancelled maybe?
