The stickers are there to note minor nicks and scrapes on the building in advance of next month’s implosion of the former Houston Club building across the street.

“All we’re doing is identifying what’s already there, so if something new shows up, we’ll know what’s new and what’s existing,” said Transwestern’s Ben Quinton, senior property manager for Pennzoil Place.

Think of it like renting a car. Before you drive off the lot you must make note of any existing damage or you may be liable for it when you’ve returned the vehicle.

The owner of the Houston Club building plans to implode the tower portion of the structure on Sunday, Oct. 19. Here’s what the company plans to build in its place.

Transwestern will take additional measures to ensure the Philip Johnson-designed Pennzoil Place remains healthy when its neighbor comes down. During implosion, technicians will conduct vibration and air quality testing.

Skanska USA Commercial Development, owner of the former Houston Club building, has long been preparing for the implosion with interior demolition that includes asbestos abatement and the removal of the exterior brick and windows. D.H. Griffin of Texas Inc. will handle the implosion.
