Nate99 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Is the hole shallower? Or is that an optical illusion with the new dirt? It looks like they are leveling it out, but its certainly no shallower. They are still chipping away around the edges on old foundations that were uncovered as they dug.

Popular Post Nate99 Posted January 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2016 They're taking out the "catwalk" that they built on the Fannin side and have a fence up on the Capitol side immediately behind the train platform now. Other structure going up in the hole too. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adr Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 New windows look great, and there are definitely already blinds in some of them (spilled coffee all over self getting this shot). Still working on excavating the hole. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Is it just me or do those renderings show the pool area right where the potential tower was supposed to go..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Nice find. @Cloud the pool only takes up a small portion of the roof, looks to be facing Fannin St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 True, I was just always under the impression the planned tower was going on the edge of the garage roof, on that side. Maybe they will reinforce the spot just east of the pool so the tower overlooks the pool area? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Dug up this, site plan on page 9 shows the tower will be placed next to the pool area. http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/Commissions/docs_pdfs/hahc/Application_Materials/December_MATERIALS/1111_Rusk_MATERIALS.pdf 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The owners, it seems, are quite behind schedule and that means money. I hope that this place leases up quickly and becomes a great success despite what must be a significant cost overrun. I love the look of the exterior and the interior rendering look great too!

BigFootsSocks Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Most of the rooms in the taller building have drywall and light fixtures, it's just the other building that's behind schedule I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Let's not forget the rail station right across the street...Which, if you work east of downtown --- especially U of H --- that will be very convenient. But, if you are going to the med center, it's likely easier just to walk the few blocks to Main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) The stone work on this building looks great, as well as the second story balcony and ornate features. I believe it will look really nice in contrast with the ultra modern look (glass, metal, sharp angles) of the tower that is to be built.
