This building is the first of three on the site. It isn't designed to be a single stand alone tower, it's designed to work with the other two once they're built.

BLVD Place sent out an email basically just saying "hey, we're finally doing something!" It had a link to the Chron article above and this HBJ article: http://www.blvdplace.com/news/HBJ%20-%20Construction%20begins%20on%20next%20phase%20of%20BLVD%20Place.pdf- 2,416 replies

BLVD Place Mixed-Use: 1700 Post Oak Blvd.
Golyadkin replied to Subdude's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Well progress has picked up in a big way today it seems. They went from having one truck ferrying the dirt across the site to a single bulldozer to 5 trucks ferrying to four different pieces of equipment laying it out in the last little hole in the site and filling it in. The rest of the Pavilion site itself is filled and flattened. They also added a small parking lot on it. The hole they are digging from has also expanded significantly and is now starting to resemble the shape of the underground parking for Whole Foods. Also, is it just me, or does that look like they are installing the base of a tower crane?- 2,416 replies

I'd personally love to see a W Hotel on this site. I think it'd fit the area and the design of the site really well.- 2,416 replies

That. Would be. AMAZING. And that map fits with the information we have about the site so far: Apache is going to build their HQ there, there is going to be a condo tower around the outside of Skylark, etc. and the hole they're digging on the Whole Foods site seems to match up with that garage so far. This gives me a LOT of hope. I REALLY hope this ends up being the case.- 2,416 replies

In their most recent game, the offense looked really good. If the new receivers could hold on to the ball better, the Cougars would've broken 700 yards passing. The problem is the defense swtiched back to the 4-3 this year, undoing all of the progress we had made on our defense when we were in the 3-4. If the defense could pick up the pace a little, the Cougars could do really well. I suspect 2013 and 2014 are going to be quite good years, as there is a lot of obvious talent on the team and we are going to be losing many of them for a while. UH will probably lose this coming game, but should do alright for the season. I'm expecting 6-6 or 7-5, which is quite good considering we lost the vast majority of our starters.

They've cleared the ground out around the fenced off area in exactly the size and shape of what they would if they were lining up an entrance to the road coming in to it. I'll get a picture tomorrow if I can.

With the exception of where the theater was, the site has now been pretty much entirely filled to street level, and they paved and opened up the bottom left corner as a driveway for the shops and restaurants:- 2,416 replies

I spent an hour and a half circling campus in the ridiculous heat getting these pictures. I REALLY hope it cools down by the next time I go around and take another set. Insperity Center (yes, that's what the new business building is going to be called http://swamplot.com/...ner/2012-08-31/): The Engineering Laboratory (the old hanger-looking building) was demolished: Garden between Melcher and the new building: Power Plant: Cougar Village 2: UC renovation (I didn't get the front of the UC - the little info desk and the awning are both gone): Finished optometry building: 1A garage: New dining hall: Cougar Place: Finished stadium garage: New front of the Fine Arts building (facing the parking lot): I didn't get a picture of it from the right side, but it looks like they are changing the intersection at Entrance 13 (this one: http://goo.gl/maps/DS6FC) and the parking lot there so that the entrance lines up with the street coming in and the intersection isn't all weird like it is now:

I was looking at the online campus map (http://www.uh.edu/maps/) just now, and noticed that all of the buildings that are planned or under construction are outlined in a dashed blue line, and there are two that I hadn't seen any prior reference to anywhere. There appear to be plans for a building next to the new Fleming Lab building: and one behind the new Biomedical Sciences building:

I'll do my best. I travel a lot (for example I am writing this post from a waiting area at Tokyo Narita International Airport), but when I can, and when something of interest happens, I'm sure to update. If I can get myself a proper intervalometer, I'll try to make some more of these time lapses of the site.- 2,416 replies

Golyadkin replied to Subdude's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
This is a time lapse I made of the site on July 31. I just happened to pick the day they brought down the last wall. Unfortunately my camera stopped working for about 30 minutes during which they brought down one section, but I managed to catch the other section being taken down (it falls around 5:58). The bulldozer in the front also gives a really good idea of how they are filling in the hole with the dirt from the Whole Foods site.- 2,416 replies

The Astoria: Condominium High-Rise At 1405 Post Oak Blvd.
Golyadkin replied to wxman's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
YAY!!!! I actually have nothing of actual value to post here. I'm just happy to know that that McDonald's is finally getting replaced by a really nice tower. I was so upset when the Titan was cancelled. I haven't been following the Astoria at all for a while, so this was awesome to see. Although once it starts going up, I'll have yet another project I can post updates about just by taking a picture out of my window. *does happy dance*- 988 replies

Golyadkin replied to Subdude's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
They've started tearing into the last underground section, and have made a lot of progress clearing the site. They've also set up fences in the area where the Whole Foods is going and have what looks like chain link fencing ready to put up. What you can't really see in this picture is there appears to be some fencing over at the corner of San Felipe and Skylark, and there was an excavator working over there earlier today, so that might be an indication that the condo tower is moving ahead.- 2,416 replies

3009 Post Oak: Office Building At 3009 Post Oak Blvd.
Golyadkin replied to swtsig's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
They're on floor 9 already: -
It's one of three buildings going on that site. In the middle of the three will be a large entrance plaza. The building will open onto that. It will engage Post Oak quite well once it's finished.

They appear to be starting to dig where the underground parking for the Whole Foods is going to be, and are filling in the pit where the Pavilion underground parking was with the dirt from it.- 2,416 replies
