Parrothead Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Just read that Memorial Hermann is building a 35 story tower at the corner of I-10 and Gessner. They've already started.MHHS is moving their headquarters there. That's a pretty big deal IMHO!http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto.../17/daily5.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Ah! I didn't look back far enough for this topic. Just wanted to say they've broken ground on the project above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinFromTexas Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 What's the skinny on that 2nd tower in the background? I knew about the 1st one, but not the 2nd. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonfella Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 At least it proves that hospitals don't have to be "institutional" scary places. I like the mod design and it will add to our big ass skyline to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Looks about the same now for 3 weeks, atleast they started already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Some changes but not much of course. Still, you also have to remember that they probably lost 3-4 days over the last week-plus due to the heavy rains.And building a 500-footer isn't done in just a few weeks. They won't be finish for another year-plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gto250us Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I know hizzy, I just looks like the cranes havn't moved, or the concrete up the pillars.I am not so sure that the 35 story building is going up. The cranes that are in place are only for 8-10 stories. Perhaps they will be replaced once the lower stories are in place.The size of the pillars that are in place look too small for a 35 story building.There is a rendering of the building under construction on a sign along Gessner and it looks like an 8-10 story building to me. Anyone out there know more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 It could be the site for the condos going up. One of the other threads has the rendering of an 8-9 floor condo building going up as part of the Memorial City renovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 One of the other threads has the rendering of an 8-9 floor condo building going up as part of the Memorial City renovation.That's on the other side of Memorial City Mall.I didn't see the sign of what building is being built at the hospital site. I'll check it out the next time I'm in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone out there know more?Not sure about the rendering, but the cranes are telescopic in design. That means that the crane will extend as the structure get's higher. It's fairly common.

That means that the crane will extend as the structure get's higher. It's fairly common.This is the Herman Memorial Building going up. The cranes are telescopic, for example the crane for the new residential building on Post Oak has aready increased in height since it was put up last month. The crane on Bellaire @ the Beltway constructing the Chinese owned bank (13 stories) has increased its height as well over the past month. You wouldn't try to consruct the first floors from 500 feet above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Drove passed it yesterday, cranes up and building in progress. Should be a nice change to see the growth in the next few months.The mall was packed btw. Parking was impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strickn Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Drove passed it yesterday, cranes up and building in progress. Should be a nice change to see the growth in the next few months.The mall was packed btw. Parking was impossible. Attached photo shows the crew a week and a half ago, working on the eighth floor. It was a beautiful day. My parents and I went and had lunch at Triple A on Airline in the Heights, bought fruit at the wholesale market there, and checked out the new Houston Architecture Center in Bayou Place downtown - and the wondrous live oak out front. Enjoy [the picture]. I urge you to, when you can, partake of all of the above as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
