Popular Post brijonmang Posted August 30, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2015 Triton, I think you and I had the same idea last evening... I might have been out a little later than you though. Anyway, I have more shots from yesterday I'll upload later but I have to run out the door this morning. In the meantime, here's a shot of 609 with the little inset on the front side of the building partially lit up. Should look cool going all the way up! 609Main by Bryan Malloch, on Flickr 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Haven't seen any mentions of it, but did the green building on the corner that was renovated (500 Milam) ever find a tenant? Yes and no. The people who re-did it did not find tenants. But they did sell it. It was purchased by the Episcopal Health Foundation. They plan to move their offices into the upper floors (may have already moved in). The first floor and mezzanine have been leased to Christ Church Cathedral. It will house the Hines Center for Spirituality and Prayer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
