Removing the building helps with the flow of Buffalo Bayou and they are continuing the bike trail eastward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 As charming as that building was it won’t be missed. This just feels better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I will miss it. I think this was probably the right choice, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about losing a building of a type I'm particularly fond of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adr Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Really ups the ante on trying to retain the other warehouses further east on Commerce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Does this render mean they can't rip out the old foundation, so they're working with it instead? I thought the reason for tearing this building down was for flood mitigation... If they ever get around to building the North Canal, then removing these huge blocks of concrete isn't that important.

I believe the second render is from the building next to the demolition, the Wilson building from the map I posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adr Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Installing some pretty stout pilings. On the left, in between the preserved cement cross-beams, they have added reinforcing cables. You can kind of see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
