I saw this too... 20 minutes ago, bobruss said: I think they're just trying to keep street people from squatting. Its just a grass field though... if anything, it was nice green space. For what it’s worth, Chevron announced they are building a new building in Australia. This signals they are willing to invest in real estate again. Any insiders heard of any rumblings? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJilliams Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Skeptical, but I want this tower to happen so bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I was expecting this topic to pop back to the top but figured it would be news that Chevron pulled out and the tower was dead but this is definitely an interesting development. Are both Enron towers full? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Sooooooo is there reason to believe the 'Chevron Tower' is about to break ground or are we all jumping the gun here? I get very, very excited about these things and I don't wanna be let down lol. Are the old Enron buildings even full?

I think there’s excitement *something* is being done with the lot. They’ve also fenced off the old Houston Press lot, I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a source for this HVAC project? Why would a 15 year old commercial office building need upgraded HVAC systems? They last longer than that in starter homes. And why would the also fence off the former Houston Press building site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't know if you know, but you need an ENTIRE block to stage an HVAC project.

cspwal Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Skyhouse Houston used the Skyhouse Main parking lot (when it was parking only) as the staging point for the helicopter to replace the chiller. If the HVAC project is of that magnitude, maybe they are using that block instead of closing streets. Or they are going to start site work on the new building, or they will rip up the grass and pave it for extra parking. Or maybe Chevron is opening a gas station downtown 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly didn't consider that. Then again my knowledge on those kinds of operations is very little to zero. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
