Until they pancake the Chronicle building, then 717 is cut off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 What do you mean go to 12? The tower went from 35 stories to 12 stories or their going to build the garage and the first few floors of the tower? Thanks in advance for the info.

BUfan13 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Rather than building the garage to 8 and the lobby level to 2 and then completing the work once they secured a tenant, they are now going to build the tower and parking garage to 12.

cspwal Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 They have exactly 1 tenant with very modest space needs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I doubt new digs would help Bracewell recruit any better. The legal market is still tight, and I don't know of many associates who'd choose a place for its building. Baker Botts has glorified cubicles for its junior associates now. That's better than getting a glorified cubicle at random (no assigned seat) when you show up for work every day, which seems to be more popular with employers these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculate from there... A tenant-by-tenant construction approach. Awesome. Every time a new tenant signs, build the building a little higher. If they are putting any office space over the garage, that is probably going to be it. Cut their losses and walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The website hasn't been updated in an age, but the original plan was to have the garage go up to 11 across the entire block, with tower tenant space not starting until 12.

mollusk Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Regardless of whatever other rumormongering may be running around, the elevator chases are the same as those laid out for the full height eventual tower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Since this part of the tunnel is closed which would you suggest is the best building to enter. I have some visitors in town and they wanted to see the tunnels. I don't get down there enough, and I wanted to give them a good idea of what its like, without wasting a lot of their time. Any suggestions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
