Sunstar Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 So many parking lots, especially on the southeast side. More high rises needed. I'm thinking 1711 and the Camden Conte projects, if they go though, will anchor development in this area. A lot of low- to mid-scale residential developments would be nice to see here. It would be nice to have a part of downtown that has a more relaxed feel to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-TownChris2 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) By the looks of fkp5 picture, the crane on the right is coming down. Edited August 8, 2015 by H-TownChris2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'll have a look when I leave work tonight. . I can't imagine the cranes being needed much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollusk Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I didn't really pay any attention to the cranes as I was leaving work this evening, but I did notice that pretty much all of the top track is in place; it looks like all of the big HVAC pieces are there, too - so yeah, the're probably going to be disassembled soon.

astros148 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 It's sad that its so short. Its unnoticeable in most views Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Definitely on the way down. Travis St is closed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Does look like they're going to take the crane down. One has lowered itself, the large cranes have been staged. The other crane looks like it's still being used though - for dry wall. Probably just using it while its there 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigereye Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 They lowered the north tower crane but it's still up. Quite the reflection view. This could become a photogenic spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 That looks like a very awkward position from which to bring down a crane, especially with the overhanging crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amashgo Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Going down. Also let this serve as a PSA that Travis is shut down. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
