    HOT TAKE ALERT. I would like to point out that it's 8:14 PM and there are still crews out demolishing the building at this very moment in backhoes. Do you really do two shifts (presumably with hazard pay) if you don't have a deadline? And, as a contractor, if you didn't have a deadline with your developer (Hines), wouldn't you have put in your bid that you could spend less to tear the building down if you took more time doing it? Like "Say Hines, if you got more time, we can tear this down for cheaper which lets us put our second-shift team on another job which lets us make more money during the same stretch of time, and it costs you less, chill?" And wouldn't Hines have said "Great idea. We have no plans for this but to immediately turn it into a surface parking lot, sales on which we would pay tax on this a heckuva lot more than if we had a condemned building just hanging out. I mean, look at the guys who own the Days Inn Building - they figured it out. MAD TAX SKILLS." Am I crazy? UPDATE: It is now 12:07 AM and they are still working on this.

    Most likely that garage isn't going anywhere. The top two stories are individually deeded parking spots that are owned by Bayou Lofts Residents. A parking lot company owns the contract spots on the first two stories, and a separate person owns the retail where the bail-bonds place is now. The AIA Houston Chapter owns the retail space on the other side of the block that is integrated into the garage. Thats literally over 100 people that would need to agree to the terms of the sale. On the plus side, AIA (which just purchased the ground-floor retail across Commerce from Spaghetti Warehouse) has some really fantastic things it is going to do to the exterior of the garage to improve it's appearance. I also doubt the Bail Bondsman will be able to stay there through another lease cycle - but that's pure speculation.

    Excavations are revealing the foundation of previous structures.

    The ground-floor retail spaces are currently all occupied by a bail bondsman, Barringer (bar), Lilly and Bllom (bar; said to be soft-opening tomorrow) and Gossip (nightclub).

    Just so we're clear - this means that the following places are all within two blocks of each other: Fusion Taco, El Big Bad, La Calle, Chupacabra, and Main Street Taco Concept. You can also get tacos at Christians, Bovine and Barley, Live Sports bar and tamales at Pastry War.
