    Nope. It may delayed, but progress is being made. As someone in the industry, if it helps keep jobs and gives more work to go around, good. And to sum up in general how I personally feel about saving historic buildings because they're historic : Just because you're historic for one reason or another doesn't mean we should keep you and impede progress and growth. Ahem, looking at you astrodome. With all of that said, if a building is historic and it can be rehabbed and actually be used or re purposed for a socially responsible reason, keep it. If its collecting mold and rats and is beyond help, get rid of it. ..... and let the arguments begin (based on what I've seen, my opinion is probably not very popular). Everyone remember, we're all entitled to our opinions.

    They have a sign up that says "Painting Part Everyone Welcome" There are also food trucks and 8th wonder had a tent set up.

    Photos from this week (today included): Convention center area: We're getting high enough to start seeing Minute Maid : The view of the surrounding area gets better and better with altitude :

    I haven't actually wandered close enough to see if they're jumping a crane or bringing one down. Oh the funny looks you get when you park and pop your head out of your sun roof for photos.... >.< From L9 deck of Aris:

    From atop the tower crane. We have just a smidge of PT (the red stuff) on this amenities deck :

    Oooo. Excellent to know... I periodically get the dirt on that site

    Just tell 'em you want a unit in the southeast corner

    Views from the deck (I'm too lazy to go post in the other threads today ) Marriott Marquis and convention center projects (whats the one to the left?): Skanskas garage: Market Square Tower: 609 Main:

    Maybe. Not only is the lot lucrative, but assuming a tower gets built (assume a +/-100-150mil project) I don't know that they'd want to give it up because they own Linbeck and thats a good size job to have in the books, especially if it hits when they have staff coming off of another project and have no where to send them.

    Aquinas isn't giving that site up unless its something good. The last time it stalled out is because the developer they were in talks with just didn't work. Which I find odd because they do have a real estate group in house. They are content to let it sit until the right thing comes along, their parking lot is minimal effort and pretty lucrative.

    It was - that was why I snapped that shot while I was at toyota, lol!

    Oh and Nate99 - that isn't the main entrance that's the retail area and I don't know that the entrance for that has been solidified. Main entrance is on Travis closer to prairie.

    We started the canopy this past Saturday. I have a time lapse of some of it going up but even compressed from my phone says it's too big, I'll work it out later if anyone is actually interested. As for skin, just the mason and steel erector at the moment. They've actually gotten a lot done you just can't see it because it's inside and BOH. Stay tuned next week. Houst is being erected. Happy Friday

    From Saturday.... From level 3 in the garage: From the current top (level 5):

    From level 5 looking out. Not 100% on which buildings those are going up, so I posted here because here is where I took it from.

    Oh no, sorry for the confusion. Thats just what happened in this particular instance. Like I said there is at least a 3 ft gap between our building and the Citizens building. By the bar (the commoner) and the State National Building it gets down to inches or less (hence my comment about building over their property lines). Are alleys a requirement though - clearly thats not the case with this new building butting up against the old ones.
  21. amashgo
    People building to and over their own property lines, thats what. There is a solid 3 ft gap there. They'll live.

    I was referring to commercial. Oil and gas is way more stringent on safety.
  23. amashgo
    They are pulling the other crane down today. Sorry no photos, rain and dark is not a good time for that.

    With the sole exception of the Exxon mobile campus, I've never been or heard of a project where every variety of employee or visitor is made to have steel toed boots. Typically work boots are what the field staff uses and visitors and office staff at bare minimum are required to have close toed shoes.

    Lol, what? If you think you're seeing that, you aren't. Interesting concept though.
