HOUSTON CLUB TUNNEL TENANTS MAKING THEIR ESCAPE 
The last 2 restaurants in the tunnels underneath the 18-story former Houston Club Building on Rusk St. are preparing to get up and out of there, reports Prime Property’s Nancy Sarnoff: The below-ground Skyline Deli and KoKoro Sushi will have sold their last lunches by the end of May, in advance of what a rep from new building owner Skanska says will be “selective interior demolition and abatement.” And that demolition is about to become much less selective, adds Sarnoff, since Skanska says it’s designing an office tower for this Downtown lot bound by Rusk, Capitol, Travis, and Milam.

They seem to have moved things up. I’d previously heard that nothing much was going to happen until next year.
Getting to or from Chase Tower in the rain from elsewhere downtown is about to get a whole lot wetter.
With the number of empty lots and full block surface lots in DT, it seems unnecessary to tear down a building to replace it with another.
Does anyone happen to know what the Houston Club garage is going to do with its monthly parkers (including me!)? They have not shared any information with us.
