    "Houston’s Theater District will be getting a makeover with a new, very green plaza square and a rooftop lawn that will play host to outdoor performances, a restaurant and special events. Lynn Wyatt Square for the Performing Arts is being designed to be a more inclusive, lively area in downtown Houston. The space formerly known as Jones Plaza is part of the Houston First Corporation’s efforts to redesign the plaza area in the Theater District. The one-and-a-half acre project, now under construction, is a collaborative effort designed by international design collective Rios and Harrison Kornberg Architects." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/trending/article/houston-theater-district-new-plaza-17922516.php#photo-23729448

    The tower crane jib is now lower than the concrete pump. They have to be jumping it this weekend. The operator is supposed to weathervane the crane so high winds don't knock it over. Just saw and article about the tower crane that fell in the Dallas area back in 2019 that killed a woman when the crane fell over. Greystar has to pay $860 mil. Houston is expecting high winds with a storm coming in tonight. "A Dallas County jury has awarded more than $860M in damages to the family of Kiersten Smith, a woman who was killed in 2019 by a crane collapse at a development by Greystar in the Old East Dallas neighborhood. The jury found that Greystar, which is also the largest U.S. apartment manger, bore some responsibility for the incident. During a thunderstorm in June of that year, a tower crane at a new Greystar apartment development collapsed into the neighboring Elan City Lights apartment complex. The crane crashed through Smith's apartment, killing her. Five other people were injured in the incident. Smith's parents were the plaintiffs in the suit. The attorney for the plaintiffs argued that Greystar, among other things, had allowed the crane's inspection to lapse, and that it had installed a sign on top of the crane in violation of OSHA standards, KDFW reports. The jury agreed. Also, the plaintiffs' attorney argued that Greystar was responsible for the overworked operator of the crane not leaving it in “weathervane mode,” which would have allowed it to move with the wind, rather than being blown over during the storm." https://www.bisnow.com/national/news/construction-development/jury-awards-860m-to-family-of-woman-who-died-in-dallas-crane-collapse-118704
