enriquewx91 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Pretty sure the 609 Main cam fell over at some point today http://oxblue.com/open/Hines/609Main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Well, on the opposite side of the tower from the webcam, there was a window washing scaffold that was off-kilter they were trying to corral. They seem to have issues with the camera every time they make the rounds with the window washers. I assume they just push it out of the way to get the scaffolding down the building without issue.

DrLan34 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/office/united-airlines-signs-lease-for-hines-609-main-56602 609 Main at Texas has brought another major lease on board. United Airlines inked 225k SF in Hines to-be-iconic building under construction Downtown. With 1,600 employees, United Airlines is the 11th-largest employer in Downtown Houston, according to the Houston Business Journal. Its current offices are at 1600 Smith, which it acquired when it merged with Continental Airlines in 2010. The new 48-story spec office at 609 Main is already home to law firm Kirkland & Ellis, which signed a lease for 62k SF at the top two floors. Hines’ new building is expected to be completed in 2017.

Nole23 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I can understand leaving an older less desirable building when your lease is up to take up space in the newest swankiest space in Downtown. I hope it forces the older building to up their game so we can see some of the monolithic Allen Center Buildings and other buildings improved either at ground level or with facade updates. I agree. That's why the Lyric Center is renovating their lobby ect and adding a parking garage with ground floor retail to improve their property to compete with the downtown market.

Urbannizer Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Ah, couldn't see the boom portion from the webcam this morning. BTW - the webcam has been removed, maybe it will be re-positioned. Last image is a still shot of who I assume removed it. http://oxblue.com/open/hines/609main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enriquewx91 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hopefully somewhere farther away so we can see the immense size of the building in our skyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
