    Oh man. It's across the street from where I live, and it's 4 days after I leave the country. :/

    Here's the one decent picture I could get over the fence of the demo work:

    Demolition has officially begun. There's an excavator tearing apart one of the walls right now. I'll try to get some pictures up later today,

    Here's the article: http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=8663907 And the story is about the Whiteco Tower, which is what this thread is about. The thread name needs to be changed immediately.

    Looks like they are indeed preparing the area for demo work. A truck is there right now loaded with what looks like chain link fences: Sorry the picture isn't too great, I need a better lens. Personally, I'd like to go over and as if they'd let me like throw a brick through a window or something as they are starting demo work, 'cause I mean, when else would you get the chance to smash the front window to a store and not get arrested?

    Yesterday they coned off the Pavilion and have spent the past two days working on removing the decorative shrubbery from around the front of the building. I saw them earlier today loading a sculpted bush into the back of a pickup. Hopefully this means they are preparing to finally tear that thing down.

    Is that what those huge cranes around the area have been? I've seen at least two really tall cranes in the area that weren't related to any obvious construction.
  8. Golyadkin
    The white crane is getting a little taller. As I got home today, I was passed by a truck carrying another section.

    Can't really see from here what they did today, but I did get a picture of the sign on Sky Lark:

    On Wednesday I noticed that there were some surveyors at the condo tower site at the corner of S. Post Oak and San Felipe, and along Sky Lark Ln., right in front of where that last remaining house used to stand, there is a variance request sign. I'll be driving by it later today. I'll post exactly what it says when I get home. Also, there are some guys in the middle of the site right now doing something. Can't tell exactly what, but they are the first people I've seen there in months:

    From today, looks like the pool is in:

    Some pictures I grabbed about an hour ago:

    There hasn't been anything going on there to indicate that demolition is about to start.

    The important bits I got from that article: "...boasting 22 floors..." "...Phases II and III of the project, which will add a second office tower as well as a hotel..." So this is 22 floors tall, and the site will have two additional towers. I knew about the second tower, and saw hints about a third, but it's nice to see some more concrete confirmation that the full plan is indeed three towers.

    So you're the fools who've been plastering the campus with Ron Paul posters taped to the 2nd and 3rd story windows of buildings? Also, here's the article that mentioned the additional parking garage on lot 1A: http://thedailycouga...spaces-by-4000/
  17. Golyadkin
    Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but I read in the Daily Cougar last week that lot 1A (the surface lot across from Moody Tower and next to the first garage) will have a garage built on it that is planned to open either Summer or Fall 2014.

    Rails are being set in place:
  19. Golyadkin
    They've moved some of the rails over to where they are going in.
  20. Golyadkin
    HCAD still lists it as belonging to Whitney National Bank.
  21. Golyadkin
    I've seen some "For Sale - Bank Owned" signs on the site over the past few weeks, but nothing else.
  22. Golyadkin
    Cougar Place (http://g.co/maps/x3wvs) was demolished over the past few weeks. It's an empty lot now. I haven't found any plans for what they are going to do with the site, but I believe a portion of it along Wheeler is going to be used for the light rail.
  23. Golyadkin
    I drove by this about two weeks ago. I can't wait for this to open!
  24. Golyadkin
    And I haven't seen any pictures or posts of it yet, but in the area next to the Quads on the corner of Cullen and Wheeler (this area: http://g.co/maps/jxbac) is cleared and the foundation is laid for a new dining hall: The pictures are from this facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/nameUHdininghall

    It's going to be the area outlined in blue here:
