THE SHORE
Trammell Crow has already had to
redesign its water line, which originally
was to go through the garage.
The company had to seek a separate
easement to snake the line around the
building and decreased the size of the
garage. The company has also finished a
water retention pond designed to serve
the condominium and the hotel.
Trammell Crow in addition had to deal
with a delay in the delivery of chilled
water by the city.
According to Fowler, the central system
serves numerous buildings in the down-
town area, but was not built to serve the
other side of Waller Creek.
The rezoning that has spurred this
redevelopment of the area has forced the
city to extend the main line to the other
side, and the line will have the capacity
to serve multiple sites in the area.
However, it was not ready in time to
meet The Shore’s construction schedule,
and the city is about a month behind in
its scheduled delivery.
In the meantime, Trammell Crow is
using temporary chillers to keep the
building served with water.

Fowler says the company expects the
city’s chilled water to be ready by Oct. 1.
If they are not ready by that date, the
city will pick up the tab for any tempo-
rary chilled water costs, according to
Fowler.
