    Something about the windows at this building seems to be plaguing them. I can't tell you how many times I've seen windows installed, uninstalled, changed, boarded up, changed again, replaced with grating. They're out there working on them again today.

    They were still working on the windows this morning. Still moving at a snails pace. The Tower next to the Hess building is going to be done before this and it started years earlier.

    I have not heard what they will do with the old law center. Half of the structure is below ground and floods all the time so I'm sure they will not re-purpose it. They will probably demolish it but there will be a gigantic hole there to backfill with dirt.

     Replacing it with a parking garage seems like the logical transition. Students use it while the new school is being built, and then tear it down when the new building is complete.

    You are 💯 correct that people are entitled to their opinion, but I am entitled to decide how and where I spend my money. It is a two way street.


    If you can enlighten me about Roostar, I will appreciate it. Not familiar with the ownership.

    I agree with this. I was looking forward to trying this place out. After seeing the posts, I am less inclined.

    Renderings of the new proposed re-adaptive development with parking garage and retail for 1005 St. Emanuel in Houston. The name may be EaDo Central or Central EaDo.

    The new renderings are way different than these. Interesting.

    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 homeless as "No one really cares about them. They get in, one or two at a time, and do what they wanted but didn't impact anyone else." The problem is what, when I was a kid, were called juvenile delinquents. They get in with groups of a dozen or more and party and break things and then got into the habit of throwing rocks from the top floors. One projectile hit a HPD cruiser and the City quickly became very involved. The guy talking to me said that's why things are happening quickly now. "Either take care of it or the City will take it."

     

    The company behind the recent activity is not the Chicago company but a company that has developed hotels in Houston.  I don't know if they are working with the Chicago company or on their own or something in between. I don't even knows who really owns the building.

     

    The guy says that a decision on what to do has been slowed by the COVID world but a final decision is likely before the end of the year.

     

    The long strange history of this building continues.

     

    Thanks for the update!

    If the driveways are on Hutchins that might be 2-3 townhomes. There's only a tiny sliver of the block that they don't control. Here's the plat for more info:

    Thanks for sending that over. But it isn't the area that they don't control. The driveways are along bell. They seem to be too close together to be entrances to a parking lot. I will snap a picture the next time I am over there.
