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:

From the parking garage at the Centre at Post Oak:

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:

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:

They've moved some of the rails over to where they are going in.

HCAD still lists it as belonging to Whitney National Bank.

I've seen some "For Sale - Bank Owned" signs on the site over the past few weeks, but nothing else.

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.

I drove by this about two weeks ago. I can't wait for this to open!

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:

If it says Coming 2013, that's the projected date for the building to be completely finished.

You think they have enough cranes?

The average attendance while playing at Robertson has been steady at around 17,000. There are quite a few regular fans who will be filling the stands. People who aren't into soccer just won't go in the first place.

Wow! That looks incredible!

When's the first home game? I want to be sure and go.

The tower cranes are gone now.

I think Exxon has the Galleria area beat by a wide mile, but that is just 1 massive project. Galleria is more indicative of the market recovery here in Houston.

I meant densest in terms of most projects in a given area, not most total work.

Just drove by it about 10 minutes ago. Both cranes are fully completed.

One tower is fully complete, the other has the tower and the cab up, but not the arm.

Total count for the galleria at this point:

2 at this, 2 at BBVA, 1 at 3009 Post Oak, 1 at Brownway, 2 at Millenium Post Oak.

Hopefully we'll see ones at High Street, BLVD, and Five Oaks Place before the end of the year.

At this point, is the Galleria area the densest area of construction in Texas? I'm certain that it is in Houston.
