    I would guess a monthly rate, I wonder if this is the same tower crane from Proguard on West Gray that came down recently?

    I ride by on Center St. instead of Washington Ave on my weekend bicycle ride. 2 weekends ago it looked abandoned. Zero progress.

    I was watching the UH vs. Temple game on tv and they showed a downtown view. I saw a large AT crane and just knew it had to be at the removal of the Hamilton Apts. tower crane. I go by it every day on my way home from work and figured it had to be the next tower crane to come down.

    http://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Le-Meridien-luxury-hotel-planned-for-downtown-6665226.php Building permits have been obtained for a luxury hotel to be developed in the long-abandoned Melrose building at 1121 Walker. The Beck Group, a Dallas-based construction and architecture firm, acquired the permits for the project. On planning and development documents, the owner/occupant is listed as Le Meridien. A rendering of the hotel is posted on the Downtown Houston Management District's website, which reports the completion date of the 225-room project as third-quarter 2017. The project is also featured on the website of Atlantic American Opportunities Fund, a Tampa-based company that provides financing for real estate developments using the federal EB-5 visa program. According to the website: The Le Meridien Houston will be a full-service hotel situated in downtown Houston, Texas that will operate under Starwood's Le Méridien brand. Project plans include 255 guestrooms, a signature restaurant, meeting space, and a rooftop pool. The Project will feature an extensive list of amenities and first-rate finishes indicative of a full service hotel, including a state of the art reception / lobby along with onsite concierge services, a rooftop pool that opens to an outdoor sundeck, as well as a rooftop viewing area. There will be approximately 8,000 square feet of meeting space, including a penthouse ballroom, ballroom pre-function area, and business meeting rooms. In addition, the Project will have a signature restaurant and bar as well as a HUB lounge for hotel guests. The Project will be centered around the redevelopment of Houston's historic Melrose Building, located at 1121 Walker Street in Houston's central business district. Opening in 1952, the Melrose Building was Houston's first modern-style skyscraper, and has recently been added to the National Register of Historic Places. As such, any redevelopment work qualifies for historic tax credits, which will provide a significant financial benefit to the Project. The 21-story building has been vacant for 20 years. AAFF made an $15.0 million equity and subordinate debt investment in the Project, alongside a bank construction loan, State and Federal Historic Tax Credits and an equity investment made by the project's sponsor.
