H-TownChris2 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 As I was coming in from 59 North, this building looks to be at or above the height of 2 Houston Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astros148 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 This will be topped out in June. They only have 7 or so floors left plus the crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

art vandelay Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I wonder which is taller right now, market square or 609? From the north/west angle in the photo it looks like they're about even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The luffer crane is being taken down on Saturday. I had a long conversation with a Harvey supervisor about the building, he said the boom, crown, cab and slewing section of the crane is coming down today. They won't work on Easter Sunday but will come back next weekend and remove the tower portion of the crane. The western tower crane has yet to add all it's tower sections, has 3 more to add and will do it next weekend. Both tower cranes will be jumped once more before they top out the building this June. He said they were at 41 stories had 9 more to go and the wings. Expecting to finish the building in January. He speculated Harvey might be involved in some work in Montrose (30/40 story high rise apartments), mixed use in TMC and McNair building in Galleria. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered the same thing when he said it. Must be the mechanical/ac/heat part of the building is what I thought. He did say the wings require lots of steel to support them so maybe that is what accounts for the extra stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rechlin Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hopefully it won't be like 811 Main where they leased the entire Main Street facing area to a bank (Frost) with zero street presence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
