UtterlyUrban Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I assume this building is a washout, again? Has anyone put eyes on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 when I went there on Monday (28th) it was flooded up to about a foot under the catwalks. I rode my bike out to the end and it felt like a pier. the flooding had already gone down since Sunday, so the first floor was completely flooded, and probably the second floor was flooded as well. Didn't the build it with the expectation that the first floor would flood on the regular? (this is Triton's photo from the previous page) catwalk/pier that was above water on Monday on the right of building: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 This article talks about how this building (and others) held up during the flood (it did pretty good) http://swamplot.com/surveying-the-soggy-aftermath-of-houstons-ultimate-home-tour-test/2017-10-17/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hindesky Posted October 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2021 20-25 boats made their way up the ship channel from the Clear Lake area to Allen's Landing. According to a couple of guys I talked with they do this annually. They have to get a bunch of permits from the Port of Houston Authority and the Coast Guard in order to make the trip. Ship channel used to be open to pleasure craft but once 9/11 happening they shut it down. They will be here all weekend. https://www.texasmariners.com/event-4169443 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I remember how excited I was about this project in 2015 but it seems nothing really came of it. I rarely see anyone here, even though it was renovated. I guess it's just used occasionally? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Hurricane Harvey probably ruined any plans they had for this building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want a small wedding (around 100) but you could only fit around 80 people up top. They also make you rent each floor out and if you want to cater food and drinks that requires a permit. Not difficult things, just another headache to deal with and deciding how to hold the ceremony then the reception on the roof (for the views) just made it too difficult to mess with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The building is in use and available to rent as event space, and houses the Buffalo Bayou Partnership.
