Interesting the cause and effects regulations have both positive and negative. What's unique about multiple centers? Many large cities have them including most of our peers like Dallas and Atlanta and of course cities like LA, SF, DC, and NYC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 The North lot that borders Allen Parkway is being partially cleared now. I figure it will be the lay down yard. Nothing worth photos this week. It’s still just an empty lot with earth moving equipment on it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hindesky Posted November 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Everything is cleared on the north portion, it has the construction trailers, a fenced off area for what I assume is employee parking and a large mound of dirt. It appears to me the first area to be built is the portion south of W. Dallas St. [ Edited March 28, 2020 by hindesky 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Bob Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Are there any regulations around work time for projects like this development. At least 20 trucks arrived between 4am and 6am this morning (Saturday). If there is a regulation around work time - who enforces it and how would i report on it? Thanks Edited December 10, 2019 by Jimmy Bob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 20 trucks arrived between 4am and 6am this morning (Saturday). It has been interesting to watch the progress this week. Monday - Thursday saw the delivery of hundreds of truckloads of dirt. Friday and Saturday have seen them remove at least 100 truckloads of dirt. Seems like the project is off to a rough start. If there is a regulation around work time - who enforces it and how would i report on it? Thanks Start here. You may have to did further into the citation provided to see if it has been updated. This is a city by city comparison from Austin but includes Houston. http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=253779 Section 30-16(5) establishes an affirmative defense for: “the erection, excavation, construction, or demolition of any building or structure, including the use of any necessary tools or equipment, conducted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., which activity did not produce a sound exceeding 85 dB(A) when measured from the property line of the residential property where the sound is being received. “ Edited December 9, 2019 by thatguysly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 All the work is being done of the south side of this project. North side is for the construction trailers, parking for the workers and a lay down yard. Also for the mock up in progress. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasualObserver Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Does anyone know if leaving a construction project like this unfinished begin to cause damage to it? Standing water? Rotting forms? Rust? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpet Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The construction lender will not allow this project to be abandoned...I doubt GID (very well financed developer) will be willing to walk away either... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgriff Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I figure that question was about construction sites closing due to the virus. From what I’ve read construction workers are exempt from lockdown. I live close to regent square and can see the crane from my window. They appear to be working today. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasualObserver Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Exactly. I was wondering if a worksite is left idle for 2,3,4.. months (due to the virus) does there come a point that the building site degrades to a point where the repair costs rise and the project is no longer financially feasible. If they are exempt, then it's a moot point. If I was building a home I would be a little upset if it sat in the rain for 2-3 months, half built and exposed to the elements. I'm not any kind of expert on big commercial buildings, so I was asking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 There is no lockdown in Harris County anyway, and even in counties that have more strict shelter-in-place rules than the very light ones effective for us today, construction is generally still allowed. So I wouldn't see that as a concern just yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
