toxtethogrady Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 So did it break ground today? The Chronic says they did. Off and running; in 3 to 6 months we can look for a crane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard is it to borrow a machine for an hour and knock a little pavement away so these guys can dig in actual dirt?! In before "People on this board will look for anything negative..."

Purdueenginerd Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'm not even criticizing the sand box, but I will say that wearing a suit as a construction worker has got to be uncomfortable for a full shift. /sarcasm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 If they actually broke ground, they would be forfeiting a lot of parking revenue whilst sweating out the construction financing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The parking lot is closed and has been all week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 If they actually broke ground, they would be forfeiting a lot of parking revenue whilst sweating out the construction financing. Presumably they wouldn't break ground though, even ceremonially, until they had secured financing? Usually the ceremonial groundbreaking is shortly before construction begins.

Usually the ceremonial groundbreaking is shortly before construction begins. I was just being silly/pessimistic, I don't know anything. The sandbox was still sitting there when I drove by this morning, so now they have to get a demolition permit (joking again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone with a truck (or a mobile crane?) should carry it over to Preston and Travis and a group of us could break ground on the Residences at Market Square. Maybe even take some photos and put together a press release to send to the Chronicle, since they typically run press releases as news stories anyway, right? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) So can we assume that some of those tenants on the east side of the building will get a view of the Astros blowing yet another late inning lead?

HoustonBoy Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 This tower looks great! I just think that the city should stop making luxury towers and start putting up basic low income towers. Those, to me at least, make a city also look very nice and urban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 ....seems to know no bounds here! the lobby - luxurious the pool terrace / deck - luxurious interior designs - luxurious the overall edifice - luxurious ground floor retail - will have to be luxurious in order to cater to the uber residents. just sayin... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
