    Kinda forgot about this site for a while. It's just now peaking above the treetops and is just on the 10th floor. Here are some photos from this morning.

    Before this completely devolves into an argument over sign placement, Urbanerd is right. The signs have been on the perimeter of the site for a while. One facing La Branch near Lamar and the other (of which there are two photos of on this page), near the corner of Crawford and Dallas. One, at least, was there prior to the hotel announcement several years ago. At any rate, since April is around the corner, I remain guardedly optimistic that this could get underway in the next few weeks.

    Here's a screengrab of one of the renderings I was able to catch on the news this evening...

    Thanks for posting all of this info. I was always curious about the place as the sign for "Westchase Mall" remained along Westheimer until just a few years ago and it kinda confused me since it never looked like what most would consider a mall to be.

    For a project that's said to be on hold, there's been some amount of activity recently. If you get a look down Mid Lane near the intersection of Westheimer, there are a bunch of concrete columns now up that weren't there within the past few weeks, and there are still a number of people working on the site. The mid-rise that was halted previously, still looks untouched for the moment.

    They demolished it several years ago, though I think the portion that was built was supposed to be the first phase in a larger project that would've included a traditional-type enclosed shopping mall. I recall seeing a rendering from around the same time that showed as much anyway. What's funny is that I recall seeing it being used in a tourism video circa 1986/87, with scenes of people all over the place. Must've been opening day, another asian mall, or a number of actors hired based on what I remember seeing riding by growing up.

    Oh darn and I wanted to set up directly across the street. Sunday morning is of the few times during any part of the week that Post Oak isn't littered with traffic or people for that matter. I'm kinda curious where viewing areas, if any, would be. BTW, maybe this should be merged with the thread about the building/potential development: http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...showtopic=16292

    The building on the extreme left is complete while the small, descending retail building in front of it and the building on the extreme right side are being finished up. Neither the condo tower or hotel (taller and shorter structures respectively) are under construction at the moment, though a garage is.

    Yes, the sign facing east, at least, is for South Pointe. Saw it driving by earlier this morning... Just had basic info like the developers' names, #s & website.

    The first ten floors above ground are parking, as are two below. Three more levels and the building should begin to head up a bit faster.

    Since this thread hasn't been updated since the end of '07... this one is under construction and there is yet another a cluster of cranes at the site. Looks like more since it is being built adjacent to Methodist's site, so there are about 6 cranes total right around that corner. At this point, they've just begun on the first floor of what I'm guessing will be the hospital.

    A couple of photos from yesterday overlooking the Maternity Center site. A third tower crane was being installed on the southwest side of the site.

    Was at the park earlier today and caught that! Here's a couple of shots...

    Based on the webcam date, I took this photo later that same week. Might have to check into getting a shot from the same spot over the weekend to see if anything's different.

    There's a ceremonial tree to signify "topping out" of the primary structure on the western corner of the current highest point. However, that's not to say more won't be added to the top of the building. For example, Cemex's building around Memorial City was designed with a unique top, and had a tree raised to the top of the structure back in August. Over several months time, they did work on outfitting the inside and outside of the building and didn't start on completing the wavy rooftop until the end of December. They're still not finished with that, and that's a much smaller building.

    What's new about that?

    A few photos from Monday... The underground garage is now completely covered by what will be the plaza/driveway.
