Txdev is right about the time frame. It may seem to be moving slowly now, but I'm sure they had to do some asbestos abatement before they could move forward since it's an older building. Basically, anything built before 1975 is going to have asbestos in it. Building a new building from scratch would have meant needing to dig for the foundation, and that would have taken longer - easily a year or more. Digging takes forever in South and Central Texas because of the limestone bedrock we have. It's good foundation for skyscrapers, but it takes a while to get through also.
