Office demand is undeniably decreasing—and will do so more over the next six to nine months as energy M&A and bankruptcies pick up, Bruce says—but leasing hasn’t entirely stopped. Chip says oil companies are on the sidelines, but 50% of Houston’s tenants are non-energy, and they’re on the market looking for better deals. There’s a lot of law firm activity in particular, especially in high-profile Downtown locations. He inked one at 609 Main at Texas recently and says that building is getting strong interest overall. He’s got 500k SF of proposals, all non-energy related. Chip thinks 2016 will be pretty flat (a good time to build relationships for the next cycle, he says), but so far he isn’t seeing rents dip.

with all due respect, you posted these backwards, should have gone from full landscape, to full zoom, but with 'enhance' between each.

 

anyway, it's coming together pretty well. the construction is right outside my boss' window, I'm distracted by it every time I go in there, and I'm unsure how he gets anything accomplished. I'll sneak in there one day when he's out and take a shot of it.

I just thought to myself about where the LED's on this building will go. Isn't this supposed to have LED lighting at night?

Edit: "Computer-controlled LED illumination within the east and west recesses, and the tower’s sloped crown will accentuate 609 Main’s presence on the nighttime skyline."

The LED's are supposed to go in the recessed section of the east & west faces of the building up to the crown, which is also illuminated.
