hindesky Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 The Icon used a tower crane to build the parking garage but this time they are using precast pieces for the phase 2 portion and using an AT crane. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Precast parking garage continues to go up, I assume they're using an extended boom forklift to pour the ready mix in the columns. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 The workmanship on this is horrible. They also tore up all the roads north of Phase II, hopefully they will made to repair them. Students were moving into Phase I. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) There are 3 courtyards in the new section.  Usually courtyards are totally enclosed with the building so it will be interesting to see if they really will install an iron fence or a high wall especially in this neighborhood.  Pool Doggie playground Edited August 31, 2020 by Stew 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I received a UH newsletter in the mail and saw this was voted by student's as the best on campus (but off) housing option. It's the ugliest and by far the cheapest looking but it's on the rail (downtown/midtown bars), has a pool, a game room, and even a lounge they let the Greeks use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 The street north of this project is closed off, I hope it's for complete replacement as they have torn this street up so badly that it's a complete mud hole, kind of surprised the houses along the street haven't raised holy hell about it. If it was in any other neighborhood the contractor would be in jail for tearing up the roads as badly as they have. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If developers like this get in trouble in areas where people do fight them, do they get in trouble with the local representatives and such? For example, would it make it harder for this dude to develop in the city again? The flippant way that he was like "yeah, I'll do that" when the person told him about blocking the street, the stop sign, the messed up lot, and the road issues is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) It appears that Bank of America will open a branch bank in the retail space on the first level of The Icon. I assume the garage will be used for customer parking. Also a new Frost bank recently opened a few blocks south on Scott. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Projects/TABS2021005861  Edited January 5, 2021 by Stew 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 They are doing a patch work job on the street north of this project, I predict this road will be torn up mud hole again in a few months. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It's a torn up mud hole after just a few weeks. I can't believe the city can let this developer get away with such a shoddy patch job to the very roads they tore up. Someone must be getting something under the table to let this shitty job slide. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
