What part?
South Texas (Central Trust) Building IS going to be an extended stay; the fact that all the windows are removed from the building led me to believe that nobody is living there (currently.) and that it was going to be gutted. Usually (in construction,) once the windows are removed, it is no longer "sealed" and when exposed to the elements, it usually means that everything, top to bottom, is going to be replaced. Plus, since WaMu left, the doors were sealed off in front and on the side. Pretty sure no one lived there.
From the HDRC July7th agenda; item 7:

As you can see, I went through the trouble of finding it myself and posting it for you. I highlighted the dates so that you can see that when I posted that there was activity of resubmitting permits and such, there was (3 June and 28 June.) If you want to drive by and see for yourself, go ahead, you will see that the shell has been cleaned out (old mattresses and blankets, trash, etc.) and a bobcat is out there to continue the clean-up.
