Looks like the address for the 42 story apartments might be 3711 Autry Park Dr. - Hanover Site G.

 

I think the address for Hanover Buffalo Park is 707 Marston St not 3711 Autry Park Dr.

707 Marston St is the location of the 42-story apartment / multifamily residence in the Autry Park mixed-use development. Building permits back this up.

Noted in comments of documents submitted for plan review:
 

• Hanover Buffalo Park will have either 317 dwelling units or 328 dwelling units. There were two different numbers submitted. The city requested developers provide the correct number.

Below are details pertaining to 3711 Autry Park Dr / Hanover Suite G. The details were included in  documents submitted for review to the city:
 

• Hanover Autry Park - Site G | 3540 W. Dallas St
   
•  Proposed: Three Shell Buildings, Two For Future Restaurants
   
• Scope: Three (3) new ground up, single story buildings located within a central park each looking onto a shared plaza. The largest building is a 2,124 sq/ft shell building, intended to house a future restaurant tenant. The next largest building is a 1,521 sq/ft shell building, also intended to house a future restaurant. The smallest building is a 573 sq/ft utility building that will house restrooms & shared utilities for the three buildings.

  • (A2)assembly (Restaurant) @ 2,124 Sq/ft | G1 Building
     
  • (A2)assembly (Restaurant) @ 1,521 Sq/ft | G2 Building
     
  • (U)utility @ 573 Sq/ft | G3 Building

 

One of the buildings at 3711 Autry Park Dr will house MF Lobster, Chris Kinjo's new restaurant. MF Lobster will be located in the 2,124 sf building.

From the Instagram post:

"Hanover Autry Park is a new luxury high rise apartment complex in Houston.

Within the complex lies Autry Park, a 14 acre heritage park slated for future community events and retail use.

Our team fabricated and installed several Corten planters that surround mature oak trees on site, as well as Corten handrails and an IPE planter bench."

The WalkingHouston Instagram account is cool and it's drawing more eyes to Houston's growing design, but they're definitely monetizing the power of HAIF which is less cool.

Mostly finished the fencing for the employee's parking area.

Hanover worker said this will be a women's apparel shop. He also said there are 15-16 spots more coming but doesn't know their names since they don't do the work on them.

Noticed from a distance that the tower crane was being used so I went by to take some pics. It is placing rebar in the bottom of the excavation.

 

That is the climber they will install when they get ready to jump the crane up.

Someone posted 449' and the tower crane will top out at 660' according to FAA obstruction documents. 40 stories high with 2 stories of utilities on top.

Lots of layers of rebar, still waiting for the big concrete pour.

It is just the style of support they choose to use. The Post Oak tower did the same. Most seem to use pilings. Probably based on geotech data and costs.

I didn't think any tall building in Houston used pilings.

The tall buildings I've seen under construction here just use a floating foundation that weighs enough to keep the building upright.

I think I saw some with bored piles. Or maybe that is part of the floating foundation. I am getting into a topic I don't know enough about. 

[cityliving]

I’m pretty sure I saw a pile driver or two at the construction site during the start of construction a couple of months ago.

MF stands for magic fingers. Chis Kinjo has addressed the meaning behind MF many times over the years. It's also been mentioned in various articles.

Here's one of those articles:
