Fence is up around the site.

Thanks for linking.  This is great.

What would it take to get a sidewalk on the east side of the property?

Another week, no movement on site.  Forms still up from 20 days ago.

The fact that 60% of households within 5-miles are "renter-occupied" was kind of unexpected.  We all know there's a lot of apartments, but that's a LOT of apartments.

Grey / white crane is coming down.

This is kind of a weird doc.  While the filing date and stamp both point to a May 2016 filing, the information appears unchanged from 2014 or 2015.  The "Area Conditions" section references several projects that are [were] anticipated as opening in 2015-2016 but never got out of the ground (JLB Post Oak - the site south of Astoria, and 800 Post Oak - the Inverness townhomes).  

That said, I would love to have the south-east pad developed... it would block some of the late-night motorcycle noise.

This project hasn't moved an inch in two weeks.

I'm a huge fan of the idea presented above.  It gets rid of the bus impact on the 610 frontage-Post Oak intersection, which is already functioning poorly during rush hour. 

Site as it is below (facing east).  Pic by me.  

The building is not done, tons of people still on site.  Ongoing work on the front facade with more paint and whatnot.  I'm withholding judgement until it's totally done, but the lack of symmetry on the spirals feels terrible.  

Touche.  That is the clear winner.

I was posting photos of this back in April 2013... award for slowest continuous construction?  The only thing I can think of that might have taken longer is the Rice Village block.

Didn't some people in Cosmo start a SuperPAC against a tower here?  Maybe I'm crossing the wires.

I so sincerely wish I hadn't move out of 1200...   :-(

How many separate buildings is this?  Two?  Or three?  

Hard to tell from the photos, but the most recent floor is stepped in on the south-east corner.  Looks like it is tapering.

Great updates.  They really came at this thing hard when they finally showed up.

Crane is up.  Visible from Post Oak Blvd by Blvd Place.

Trucks still periodically rolling in, and one lonely guy is pushing dirt around.
