U/C, c/o Swamplot:

 

A READER SHIPPED OVER these shots of the new Seafarers International Union Hall under construction at 501 N. York St., just south of the crossing of Buffalo Bayou (and of the name change to Hirsch Rd.). An entity called Seafarer’s Building Corporation bought the land from the Buffalo Bayou Partnership in March of last year; the bayou folks snagged it in 2001 from construction materials producer Lafarge, which acquired it as a General Portland cement facilityin 1989. The property sits a block down N. York from bayou-side Tony Marron Park, itself immediately upstream of the Dan-Loc Group machining plant.

A close-up of the rendering posted at the job site at the corner with Freund St. shows an access ramp stretching along the N. York side of the property, as well as what appears to be a partially covered upstairs patio:

The building is being designed and constructed by Way Tech, whose past projects have include the $3-million cafeteria redo at Johnson Space Center, as well as offices for the International Longshoreman’s Association and the Galveston branch of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
