    Getting some pretty good depth. From today:

    The city is doing a huge disservice to this neighborhood by not fixing the misalignment of 12th Ave N where it intersects with Grundy, seen here in this picture. I lived in the Gossett until the end of 2019, and this intersection was always an absolute mess since cars trying to continue on 12th Ave N had to effectively turn twice since the road isn't aligned. And this was before all these new developments in this neighborhood started. I can only imagine how bad it will be once the traffic kicks in from Gibson Residences, Asurion, and EDITION hotel. The opportunity to straighten this road would have been on this land being developed as the Gibson Residences. Now that it isn't possible any more, the only way to do it would be to knock down the Chauhan/Mockingbird/Tansuo building, and I don't see that happening any time soon.

    But it appears they're digging down.  Surely they're not going to excavate and then pave down in the hole for parking.  Am I missing something?

    I think what you're seeing is remnants of one of the walls from the original building. Check out the cam during a different time of day with better lighting and you should be able to see.

    ^^ I have no idea, but watching the Pins conversion, which has been going on for some time now, the contractor seems to be having issues.     First I saw what looked like reinforcement of the original roof, then the roof was removed completely, then for a while there was scaffolding up for what looked like a new roof structure, but in that photo above, the roof is clearly gone again.      Just wondering if this has turned out to be a more difficult job than they anticipated going in.    

    They took down the old roof completely and installed a new roof. The section in the photo without roof is designed without roof as seen in the original renderings. It will be a courtyard. The entire building is also black now as of a few days ago.

    Is it a valid argument for not building or is it that the buyer just doesn't want to make the jump just yet?

    It is definitely a valid argument considering all of the activity in this area from Endeavor, Asurion, Grand Hyatt, and even the Pins Mechanical warehouse build-out. I live right there in the Gossett and it has become a nightmare between all of the construction equipment, road closures, construction workers taking up all of the street parking, etc. Now that the sidewalk is closed on both sides of 12th from Porter to Broadway, my walk to work has to be tripled in length.  I hope they at least wait until Endeavor is finished to get going on this one.

    But I do know that the buyer (Highwoods) is waiting for more than just that reason. I'm sure they're wanting to make more significant progress on Asurion across the street before they go full steam on this,
