    More to the point, her article also says the windows were not bricked up until the 1980s.

    From the Rice Thresher: " Rice’s property also includes the Fiesta Mart store located at 4200 San Jacinto St., but the store is not expected to be affected by this sale during the two-year remainder of its lease, according to the statement. "

    Do we know that we are losing Fiesta?

    Yeah, United started moving in back in mid-January. I believe they have floors 12-19

    I don't think there is any reason at all to think this is targeted solely at software innovation.

    Which roof? (residential tower; office tower; low-rise retail building?)

    “Cloud Column” previously was unfinished in Anish Kapoor’s London workspace after the sculptor’s original commissioners were unable to see the project to completion, said Tinterow. While “Cloud Column” remained in storage, Kapoor began work on other projects like Chicago’s “Cloud Gate.” When MFAH staff learned “Cloud Column” was available to acquire, the museum decided to install the work outside the future Glassell School of Art which is still under construction, slated to open in May.

    2017 metro area population estimates were released today: July 1, 2017 population: 6,892,427 2016 population: 6,798,010 (they apparently revised the original estimate posted a year ago) 1 year increase: 94,417 Growth rate: 1.4% July 1, 2010 population: 5,947,419 7-year increase: 944,253 Percentage growth since July 1, 2010: 15.9% (No surprise that we had slower growth than the prior year. I suspect growth has since accelerated again.) We'll probably cross 7 million in the 2018 estimates.

    The AIA is on the other (south) side of Commerce Street. (900 Commerce Street). They are not one of the buildings you are referencing. The building between Fannin and San Jacinto is 1119 Commerce and is slated for demolition. The building just north of the courthouse (the criminal courthouse) is actually two buildings. 1201 Commerce Street is the current Harris County Inmate Processing Center. They will be moving to the new facility north of the bayou very soon. I have not been able to find definitive plans for the building. The other is the Wilson Building (Harris County Annex 21) at 49 San Jacinto.

    Yes. It flooded during the Tax Day flood, during the Memorial Day flood, during Tropical Storm Allison, and no doubt, during Hurricane Harvey. The building is slated for demolition. https://www.hcfcd.org/projects-studies/buffalo-bayou/1119-commerce-street/

    I'm pretty sure the building at 1119 Commerce is slated for demolition.

    This is a redevelopment of an existing building.

    Hopefully, we have reached the point where a second round won't be necessary.

    I don't think he said the project is on hold. I think all he said was that there was "a last-ditch effort by northside interests to derail the entire project."

    Or it might be the recent Plan Downtown. Handel Architects does not appear to be mentioned as contributing to either the Plan Downtown or the Theater District Master Plan, so it might be something else.
