Pretty cool to think this builidng is gonna be more than twice the height of the crane right now when it's finished. 

Will it be close to the height of the new BHP building?

Is there gonna be parking out front like the Whole Foods across the street?

Are they still gonna rename UHD?

Tear down the Ford dealership and the other strip centers too 😏

Ok thanks. 

What's going up next to RA sushi?

Are they tearing down the hov lane as well?

Is it considered taboo to like this tower?

Its grown on me lol.

Does anyone think the exterior of the GRB will be dramatically changed?

From the plans that have been posted, it seems they will be reconfiguring Wheeler Station as a part of the freeway rebuild, so if it's not directly related to the IH-69 work, it's probably indirectly related for the station work.  The Innovation Hub plans seem to go around Wheeler.  But maybe the Wheeler rebuild will be done as part of the Innovation Hub work?  Though in the end, it doesn't really matter; regardless of who does each component (Rice, TxDOT, or METRO), this whole area likely is going to be redone over the next few years.

Is it for the 59 trenching, or for something to do with the "Innovation Hub"?

I think it's the 59 trenching because they were drilling on 59 where it inclines yesterday as well.

Yeah it has some beautiful hill country but Houston has really started to take advantage of its own natural beauty and making the best of what we have in the gulf plains region. All the trees Houston has planted over the years are finally starting to mature and these past few fall days have shown just how beautiful this area can be. 

I agree!

That is correc

 

 

That is correct, at least that it is owned by a Taiwanese oil company and it's been common "knowledge" for many years (and it certainly appears true), that they had no interest in selling or developing. They actually owned the land (or at least most of the land) where Toyota Center and the Tundra garage sit. I don't recall if they sold willingly or if the power of eminent domain was used.

 

The bad news is,  they still own the block across from Toyota Center asked about above, plus a bunch more.  Point to a vacant parcel in southeastern downtown and there is a pretty good chance it is owned by this company.

What would make them sit on property!!!

Its gonna be a really cool drive driving through those tunnels once they're done!

I'm confused does Metro have a new logo?

Ok thanks for the reply!!!

Looks like they're doing soil sampling south bound on 59 right where it goes from elevated to depressed in the trench. Will the 288 and 59 interchange be rebuilt as well?

Smh 

I'm surprised the lot across from Toyota Center has still not been developed!!!
