monarch Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 ^^^ is it just me, or does it seem that the SCALE and SCOPE of the ION, is much larger and grander... than the initial renderings/concepts indicated? this edifice seems quite massive... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 This one's gotten pretty far since the start of my HAIF/coronavirus hibernation. Its definitely different seeing that steel hat on there. Its almost like a completely different building. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PPS Pacesetter location at that site is now closed. You can tell something is different about Wheeler/59. Can't tell if its COVID-related or if its the fact that Rice shut down PPS, everything is fenced up outside of the Jack-in-the-box, and Fiesta brought back the constable but there isn't as much panhandling and stuff in that area. Its weird, cause now in the mornings the pedestrian traffic is moreso the people coming from or going to Wheeler station. I even saw joggers running past jack in the box yesterday. If this is a sign of whats to come, what a crazy change. Midtown just reclaimed 1/12 of its land back. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crossed the streams while internally thinking “just east of the Jack in the Box,” lol. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post j_cuevas713 Posted May 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) The silver lining of this Covid-19 chaos is that construction crews are less obstructed by traffic, and their ability to work around the clock has sped up construction big time on this bad boy. I drove by the other day and damn, you can only imagine. The ION being the central building is going to be incredible for us as a city. And to see that old mechanic shop torn down finally to make way for the parking garage was so nice to see. I'm even excited about the parking garage because the design doesn't waste retail potential.
