gregpet Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Does anyone know anything about this building? Such a cool site right on the bayou especially as this part of downtown gets cleaned up with the Sunset Coffee Building redevelopment. Walked by it today and it looks vacant (Quiznos was in there for years)... http://arch-ive.org/archive/1119-commerce/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstar Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The problem with this building is that it impedes any further extension of the Buffalo Bayou hike and bike trail because it literally is built right up to the Bayou. I'm curious to see whether BBP can work around it or has to demolish it (not their style). I thought it would be cool if they could find a way to run the trail through the building somehow.

IronTiger Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Quiznos had the address of 1113 Commerce, interestingly. I don't think it will be demolished for a hike and bike trail because the jail processing center is also built up the bayou, and I can guarantee you that will not be going down easily.

The processing center that will be moving to the new joint processing facility next year? . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Houston19514's point, there is a new processing facility being built on the other side of the bayou, so I would imagine they would demolish it.

Sunstar Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The link below shows a good view from the Bayou. I'd be curious to know how these buildings fit into the final plan. https://500px.com/photo/40799664/bayou-bridge-by-h-darragh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It flooded during the Tax Day flood, during the Memorial Day flood, during Tropical Storm Allison, and no doubt, during Hurricane Harvey. The building is slated for demolition. https://www.hcfcd.org/projects-studies/buffalo-bayou/1119-commerce-street/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Demolition permit issued by Spawglass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaDo Lou Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Demolition is almost complete. Only the portion of the building right at the edge of the bayou is still standing. This will have to be done carefully in order to prevent pieces from falling into the bayou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaDo Lou Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 These pictures were taken on 8/12/2020. The demolition crew is taking care not to let any of the building remnants to fall into the bayou - notice the small salvage barge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
