    Could they have shut it off because of the drought?

    I live in midtown right now. I'd consider moving to downtown if the restaurant and social scenes were a little more vibrant. I'll probably wait a few years, (assuming I dont buy in intervening years)

    For those versed in Twitter: https://twitter.com/CentralSquareTX has been posting photos of the gutting and work done...

    uh, what just happened? Bob, no one said that, at all. Its called discussion bro... people are discussing the topic at hand. Let them.

    10,000 sq feet in a mid rise. Wow.
  6. Purdueenginerd
    Thats an old school rendering.

    Honestly, this is preventable. All those contractors needed to do was put up temporary barricades for the small debris, and plan their demo of the large debris better. If my company can demo steel reinforced concrete 150 feet in the air and prevent ALL debris from falling on workers below or in process lines (refinery work), then I'm sure taking down a masonry reinforced brick wall within a constrained area should be quite easy for this company. This happened because of poor preplanning and for that, I blame the Project Management team. They should have the foresight to see that theyre already in hot water with the local residents and properly preplan every method of demolition to not interfere with other people's properties. Cover, Your, Ass, project managers. /Construction rant

    That makes sense to me. I'd hate to have every building light blue reflective glass though... get boring after a while
  9. Purdueenginerd
    It seems like in the architecture world, light blue reflective glass is all the rage. Thats what, 5 high rises planned/underconstruction for downtown Houston with similar glass color?
  10. Purdueenginerd
    lol. Alright buddy, calm down.

    So we have pretty cool renderings from an architecture company in Memphis, TN. (which show downtown Atlanta in the background for some reason)... Any contractor/owners/financing news? Is there real substance to the new rendering??

    Get some earplugs! That's what I give my girlfriend so she can sleep through my snoring! /TMI
  13. Purdueenginerd
    Yep that's it! At least that's pretty much what it looked like when I drove by

    Saw a sign with a rendering next to building. Was on my way to work so I couldn't get a shot

    Probably height increases of the crane as the building goes up. Those cranes can assemble themselves. See video I couldnt see the extra crane components on the webcam, but if there are several... that would be my guess as to their purpose. .
  16. Purdueenginerd
    Rendering from Swamplot article... Not a bad looking building.
  17. Purdueenginerd
    33 floors... 3000 feet. Yep. Checks out. We got ourselves a new supertall guys!

    My guess: The top is secretly going to be the eye of sauron in mordor.
  19. Purdueenginerd
    thats impressive. If you look closely you can see the some segments of beltway 8 complete themselves, and an eruption of sprawl afterwards. Pretty impressive.
  20. Purdueenginerd
    My bad. Not sure how I missed your post. I guess I went to the latest page and didn't realize the previous had new posts too. party foul I guess

    ha. Lawyered.

    Oh shut up you two. Keep the airport named after Bush Sr. The world isn't going to end and he was a respectible 1 term president who's done lots of good charity for the US after he left. /democrat voter
