Houston19514 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 FWIW, Grotto's website says the downtown location will open "Winter 2016". Pappadeaux is scheduled to open January 2017 (and they were the last one on to be announced). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there were people everywhere all night the last few days putting in booths, hanging ceramics on the walls finish painting somethings. Its incredible to watch the process up close but its done all of the time. They usually have a knock out crew for last minute details and the interiors come in all at once and before you know it your serving dinner. From building the coffee shop, the two main things that would create setbacks were, questions from the contractors on the drawings, and permits. I'd imagine the places with a lot of weight behind them will have a fixer living at the permit center that knows how to keep the train moving, and they'll have all the answers for the contractors.

Thanks @monarch. There's still work to be done but I think they'll be wrapped up by Thanksgiving, maybe sooner. There was work being done yesterday while the place hosted multiple events with weekend crowds enjoying the good weather next door. The ADLA work is down to installing the "Wings Over Water" (WOW?) sculpture, the Wharf, and landscaping. Exterior work is down to applying the final pieces. Most of the work left is with the interior spaces. The grand lobby & concourse have some work to be done but are fairly close to completion. But the restaurant spaces haven't started work yet so that would be the only concern IMO. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enriquewx91 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It's been a slow day at work so I was just on Google Maps when I stumbled upon this. Seems that google has a small area on the Avenida de Las Americas that has not been update for quite some time. Can you believe this is what the view of the GRB and this part of DT was not long ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
