cspwal Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 If you haven't looked at it in a while, spend some time on the website http://609mainattexas.com - it's got some great renderings and plans of the building. It looks like the parking garage is going to be partly both in the main tower and that little side section that's not as tall. Also - there's 3 spots for ground floor retail - one facing the Rice lofts on Main/Texas, and two facing Fannin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So how many floors is it right now? 9 or 10. The topmost floor they just completed has a taller ceiling than the others, so I think they are out of the garage portion and in to the office space. There may be a "trading floor" type area about where they are now too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 That must mean they have an unannounced lease for a trading desk. I don't actually know anything about that, just guessing. They describe that articular floor along with the "rooftop garden" floor on the website. It has 14' ceilings, the rest are 10'. http://www.609mainattexas.com/#building 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Will the ground floor retail on this building be open to the sidewalk or will you access it through the lobby?

Gator Purify Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The pace seems to have slowed since the garage portion was completed. Anyone know why? I know the weather has been bad, but only one floor has been added in the past month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the weather has been bad, but only one floor has been added in the past month. They are doing a lot getting the garage portion going, it will be up to the second floor soon. They are also working on all kinds of stuff in the interior. Swinging the big forms and platforms around with the cranes to set up the new floors has to be tough in bad weather too.

Depends on your pour location and the amount of rain. But generally I try to avoid placements during the rain, especially for flat work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
