Popular Post hindesky Posted May 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Good news! This will be starting next week according a worker from EE Reed who is the construction company for the project. He said he is one of their layout guys. He showed me the above view orientation on his iPhone. Fencing is up and a construction trailer. He also said the building will be facing Leeland and toward the northeast corner of the property. One entrance on La Branch and another on Leeland St. Red pickup is the workers that I talked with.

It'll be nice to see some activity on this side of downtown. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted May 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2023 EE Reed seems to specialize in building hotels. This one of about 3 others I know they have built and they are also going to build the Holiday Inn Suites at Texas Ave and Austin St. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I talked with a worker from Encore Concrete Contractors who is doing the concrete work on this. Asked him where the tower crane would be placed but he didn't know yet but confirmed it will have one. Encore is currently doing the concrete at the Fairmont Museum Park III (he got pulled off it to come here) and he said they also have the contract to do the 16 story Holiday Inn Suites on Texas Ave. https://www.encoreconcrete.com 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosFeliz Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Is the lot to the west of this project where Camden might build a phase II? Would do wonders if that gap got filled in. Dream would be for Fetitta to build a Post Oak like hotel/apartment/garage where that awful Tundra garage stands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted July 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2023 A tower crane operator whose tower crane was taken down recently started following me on IG. I post some of my pics there too. He asked me if I knew any tower crane operator positions coming up since I include so many of the projects. I gave him some possible projects that he could inquire about with the contractors. He contacted EE Reed which is building this and was told it wasn't going to get a tower crane but would be self erected building (whatever that means). He was also told that they (EE Reed) has the 16 story Holiday Inn contract coming up soon which will require a tower crane. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Golconda Venture. Per HCAD, I find 13 parcels they still own totaling about 7 1/2 blocks, all in the southeast part of Downtown, plus one (1/2 block) in the north end of Midtown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 So this is getting a tower crane after all. Saw this IG post from Skyhookops which is a rent-an-operator company that supplies companies that don't have their own operators. https://www.skyhookops.com 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
