Right now they are halfway done with the 12th floor and they still have about 11 more to go, and its already making a pretty good impact on the area heigh wise..

Last press release, the building will be 20 stories, so only 8 to go.

The important bits I got from that article:

"...boasting 22 floors..."

"...Phases II and III of the project, which will add a second office tower as well as a hotel..."

So this is 22 floors tall, and the site will have two additional towers. I knew about the second tower, and saw hints about a third, but it's nice to see some more concrete confirmation that the full plan is indeed three towers.

Will any of these strip centers ever be developed, or are they too expensive to buy and knock down?

i was told a couple of years ago that both landlords have plans for future redevelopment. as for the timing, that's a much harder question to answer. something will happen on both corners eventually.

Local restaurateurs will operate new concepts there, but they won’t be announced until the end of this year...

When the project broke ground last year, the developers said the 6.5-acre site was also being designed to house a luxury hotel and possibly a residential tower. Those plans have been altered and now call for another office building along with the hotel.

Eh... has anyone else noticed the cladding they've put up on this guy? Right now it covers the full south east corner (maybe the bottom 3 floors)... it's visible on the webcam. Mother of God. It's maybe the least pedestrian-friendly facade I could imagine... unless they were to actually just make it a solid concrete wall right up against the road. I know this is covering a parking garage, but it looks like a prison.

Here is a pic I took from my blog that shows what you're talking about

They've got a lot of cladding, and even some windows up now, and by my count have the floor they are working on now plus two more before topping out:

And as I was down there taking these pictures, this group came at me down Post Oak:

Turns out it was the Houston janitor strike. There were at least 1,000 of them escorted by at least 15 police cars. Seeing them all coming towards me while I was walking down Post Oak felt a lot like this:
