Expected Impact:

The Lomas Nettleton, Coffee Pot Building & Surface Lot Demolition project includes the demolition and removal of the Coffee Pot Building and Lomas Nettleton Parking garage within the downtown city block bordered by San Jacinto, Franklin, Commerce and Fannin streets.

 

Alternative Options:

A Structural evaluation was done on the existing Coffee Pot building, and there appears to be a significant amount of structural concerns that recommend that employees/ pedestrians be relocated away from the area with the floor jacks and wooden beams. Further investigation would need to be conducted to determine necessary repair methods to restore the safety of the existing structure which could lead to a more costly repairs if the existing building is to remain.
