  1. The same, somewhat distant view of the top, from yesterday. Just one week later.
  2. I know, and we're in complete agreement. I was only pointing to ill-informed writers as being the only people who had actually leapt ahead and said actual construction had begun.
  3. They finished up fencing off the lot today. Kinda interesting that as they were finishing up, other nearby lots were charging a premium price for the Graduation Ceremonies happening at Toyota Center.
  4. Was out Sunday afternoon and took these shots from an Upper Kirby area garage.
  5. Another perspective from behind the site, taken this weekend...
  6. Actually, two articles (one from HBJ & the other from the chron) said, at least in the poorly written titles, that construction had begun. Groundbreaking never qualifies, especially if the concrete from the lot you're going to build on has yet to be broken up and is still covering the actual "ground". They didn't even get that far with 6HC, where they only had a social hour and a building announcement. FWIW, I saw they started installing more fencing around the perimiter of the site today. Specifically, starting around the part where Harvey workers had been parking during the construction of OPP.
  7. Construction actually began on the restaurant about a month or so back. It will be located right next to the Sonic which recently opened, and according to this article, they want to open it by this October.
  8. Here are some photos from today, now between the 20th & 21st floors Perspective from The Lake House at Discovery Green Porte-cochere These are actually from a week or two back, but they should give you an idea about how the facade will appear on the east side
  9. They finished it around the beginning of 2008. The building had trouble leasing as a commercial building, and became a professional office building. Since the hospital closed, I'm not sure were it stands. The rest of the rendering essentially looks like putting a glass facade on the existing office tower and part of the existing garage. Like Kinkaid said, that version has been around for a while.
  10. It already is a few floors up, and it really is an attention grabber just based on it's width even now.
  11. And another angle I managed to snap while stuck on Almeda this week.
  12. Construction on the office levels began about a week and a half ago, and since then, the structure's tower portion has begun to rise above the adjacent Stowers Building. Here are some photos from the past few days. Separation between parking & office levels
  13. Here are a couple of photos from last weekend. The office building Embassy Suites
  14. It was announced a year or two back, and has yet to break ground. They seemed a bit more interested in promoting their project in Shenandoah, as both were introduced at around the same time.
  15. I noticed that the estimates for construction have changed from around $55M in earlier articles to $34.5M in the most recent one. Is that a reasonable figure based on declining prices related to construction or is it just wrong?
  16. Here are a couple of photos from yesterday afternoon. Glad to see they're making progress on the roof, and the spire has now joined the peak of the frame.
  17. It's the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts. I liked that photo tour as well, probably it's because it is one of the lesser seen places in the state. Does look like a nice place to visit, though. Might have to make a stop as I plan on heading west on vacation over the summer.
