Nate99 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Now if only this redevelopment could extend across the street to the Southwestern Bell Building. Pretty sure that is loaded with telephone line infrastructure, which may go away sooner than later, but it is certainly not imminent.

Houston19514 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Surprised MIT has the power lines out front just like most of Houston, don't those geeks have new inventions to make those obsolete? To read some posters on this forum, one would think Houston was the only city in the civilized world with overhead power lines. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rechlin Posted March 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2015 It seems they've been focusing a lot of attention on the roof of this building lately. This past two weeks they completely stripped off the old membrane from the roof. Now there are no more trees growing on it! The crane apparently broke down, too, about a week ago, causing debris to pile up on the roof because they couldn't lower it down, but within a few days they were able to fix it. They brought in a mobile crane to lift something up and had people working on it. This week they've taken out a truck-sized section of wall on the mechanical penthouse of the tall building. Not sure what is going there yet. Also they've been power washing various brick and stone at the roof level. There are always lots of people working on it (I count 12 people on the roof as I type this, one of whom is sledgehammering the floor and several others who are jackhammering), so even if it appears to be going slowly, they still are putting effort into it.

kbates2 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchFan Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm with you Monarch! Not long ago, I stayed at the Denver Magnolia Hotel, which was nice -- but as a native H-town guy, I'm proud to say that our Magnolia occupies a much cooler "historic" building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It appears a large backhoe was delivered to the site yesterday. It might herald the start of construction on the parking garage/tower base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
