Cranes busy at work!

Was really thrilled to see the demo company truck outside. Hope they start making progress.

deleted - wrong thread.

No real activity here, but they have erected temporary chain link fencing around the Commerce Street side of the building.

I peeked in for a look around lunchtime. Didn't stay for anything to eat, but wow. It's a great looking space completely unique in downtown (so far). Lot's of energy and the pictures don't do it justice. Great amenity for both downtown workers and residents. Looking forward to some late nite Mala Schezuan soon.

How about "No, not that jail, a different jail."

Renovations are underway, and have been for the past week or so. This is posted on Travis: They have completely removed the rear exterior facade and wall of the building - it is completely exposed to the elements: According to a worker on-site, they will extend the lower patio out to about where the building is on the left side of the photo. They will also add an upper patio be a mezzanine that will extend from the building. It will be a night-club.

Most of the windows and the exterior facade itself is in the process of being removed as we speak/read/write/post/forum/whatever.

Chain Link fencing on Travis was down this morning.

Nearing completion of the north-facing facade. Aris is a great addition to the neighborhood. Fits in perfectly. Bravo Hines, Bravo!

For a perspective of how this building will fit into the neighborhood, the yellow crane you see is at the west end of the lot.
