I think there's going to be a new building on the corner of Post Oak/ San Felipe (verizon wireless) eventually. Property was bought and verizon moved to new building in pavillions.

Really? Interesting news, Urbannizer! Though it does mean even MORE construction noise for those of us who live at the Rice!

I can imagine, with all the projects. Generally speaking, what times does the noise start and stop? Can you see a lot of it from your apartment? That part of downtown is really changing.

I have a direct corner view of the 609 Main project. From the roof of the parking garage come the views of the residential tower at the Market Square Garage as well as the residential tower about to start up according to Urbannizer.

As far as times, well, let's just say some days are much longer in terms of noise than others. And when they're doing concrete pours, all bets are off in terms of time...

As busy as I thought the Houston construction scene was when I visited a couple of months ago, it has ramped up even more when I dropped over the Christmas weekend. The crane is up at 1885 Yorktown, the work on the Galleria is moving right along, the two Hyatts are starting to get clad, and that's just in the Galleria area.

Fan-fuckin-tastic. Now I'm gunna have to move. They aren't even telling us anything during this whole process.

Those apartments don't look more than ten years old. Even at build-out, they are essentially replacing the existing units one for one. Ah, well...

As long as suburbia does not replace suburbia, then I think its great.

CHOMP GOES the excavator on a portion of the 3 adjacent 1950s and ’60s-era complexes at 1920 W. Alabama St., 1924 Marshall St. (pictured at left), and 2810 McDuffie St., right across the street from the Alabama Icehouse and just south of Admiral Linens.

In late July residents of the 3 complexes were told to move out by September 1, so that new owners City Centre at Midtown, an affiliate of developers Dolce Living, could be begin tearing down the 2-story buildings to clear the 1.58 acre parcel for one 6-story, 258-unit luxury apartment building.

Though it will be situated in the western edge of Montrose’s Winlow Place area, the building will be named City Centre at Midtown.

The article indicates about 18 years old, but that's still amazing. I wonder if there's anywhere else that buildings of that age are torn down.

Rumors have surfaced on Swamplot about a development that is displacing the Cornelius Nursery on the Katy Freeway. Office building? Apartments? No one is saying...
