Wrong place.☹️

Looks like they are getting close to open with "Training in Progress". Even the TVs over the bar were on.

Taken today while the Security Guard shouted that I wasn't allowed to take a picture of the building. Apparently correct regarding copy write laws - who knew? - but a curious marketing decision.

I live a block from the McGowen station and I'm always amazed at how muffled the horn sounds. I never notice it, even out on my terrace.

Holiday / Days / Heaven On Earth Inn (801 Calhoun)
Brooklyn173 replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
This is a picture from today of a maintenance crew buttoning up the outside of the building. When I took the picture I ran into a sort of supervisor who shared some of what is going on (at least as much as he knows). According to this guy, "everything is on the table" as for the next use of the building. Even some major hotel chains are showing interest. Or possibly turning it into condos such as those across the street at 2016 Main Street. Or maybe a plan more similar, smaller rental units, to what was shown to the City. The major problem with the building wasn't the h- 737 replies

Holiday / Days / Heaven On Earth Inn (801 Calhoun)
Brooklyn173 replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
As promised, a picture of the water being pumped out. And notice the new particle board on the garage gate.

Looking at the Fairfield going up across the street has me wondering how the renovation will stage their job. Lay down areas and all. The adjacent lot is now taken by a field office and parking lot for the Fairfield project. But within a relatively short time, a METRO parking lot and a zombie tower wi- 737 replies

The chain link fencing and the temp wall on the parking ramp is brand new. Today they were pumping water out of the basement. I spoke to a worker briefly but he didn't have much to add. But stuff is happening. -

I checked the Phoenix Development Partners site and it seems they have a lot of experience renovating older buildings in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor. I noticed a renovation of theirs for student housing, and considering the small size of the units discussed here, I wonder if that market that might be their focus? https://phoenixdevelopmentpartners.com/#home -
100 years anywhere in the US (or most places) for an apartment building is very aspirational. 50 years seems a little more realistic, though still optimistic, and I'd guess many will meet that criteria.

Probably the best/easiest/safest way to serve pedestrians in Houston is to not close both sides of the street to pedestrians. Capital at Bagby on July 18. 2020.
