The Chevron gas station by university and rural has a fence around it. Does anyone know if it got bought by a developer?

I know they are trying to assemble that corner for student/ senior housing (think Gilbane's project on apache) but the chevron wanted too much for the hard corner...I think the work now has to do with pump replacements? They advertise that the shop is still open.

The Hyatt House looks like it will top out here in the next couple days. They are already getting started on framing & Drywall. This one is moving fast.

You can also see the Novus parking structure going up as well.

Edit: Anyone have the webcam link for Mirabella?

Not that I have seen.

They have the portion of the 100 Mill/Hayden House parking lot that is slated for the office building fenced off, and they are tearing up the parking lot today. Hopefully that means construction soon.

oh no...what a bummer

[muertecaza]

Looks like it was the stand-alone garage and the retail spaces attached, so hopefully minimal damage.

They may not even do an insurance claim considering it may just be some interior damage. Theyd probably just eat the cost & move on to deliver to owner on time. Who knows, at least it wasn’t the main tower lol. By the way, they’re doing night work at the Pier. Also, the watermark tower has LED lighting that they’ve been testing the past few nights.

Watermark after fire

[Obadno]

Yeah it looks like watermark isn’t too bad just the roofing material on the retail portion

I assume they’ll have to replace that shorter steal structure but overall it could have been much worse, at first I thought it was in the parking podium which would have caused a huge delay from smoke and heat damage alone

I went by this morning and it looks like they stripped a column of the glass façade from the tower, I assume from smoke damage? Also looks like the cladding on the pedestrian bridge to the garage suffered some smoke damage. No work being done on that structure that burned.

It was a big fire the heat could cause metal/plastics to warp and melt and even cause concrete to crack especially if the iron supports pushed into the garage from heat expansion.

Even if it doesn't seem like a big deal the damage can be pretty shocking, smoke damage alone can cost millions.

That was just where the scaffold construction stairs were. I've been watching them remove the stairs the last couple of days. Luckily the fire was a bunch of roofing foam sparked by a welder on the lower part of the retail on the parking structure.

Isn't that foam supposed to be fire retardant? It lit up from a welder a couple floors down?

Can't read the article anymore but I assume the headline about says it all:
