Great photo. Very eye catching. I like downtown trollies. The tracks, and how it separates the lanes, gives it way more character than a simple dumb road.
NO CONFIRMATION YET — but a source tells Swamplot that United Airlines is about to announce an upcoming flight to the new tower rising at 609 Main St. Employees were purportedly briefed this morning on plans to move into Hines’s 41-plus-7-more-story skyscraper going up on the former site of the 1931 Texas Tower. The source says that United’s operations at 1600 Smith and 600 Jefferson streets (formerly known as Continenal Center I and II, in the days before the 2010 merger of the 2 air giants) will be consolidated into the new space.
United employees may get a little lift from the underfloor air system incorporated into the tower’s design. The Chicago-based company should also feel at home moving in with fellow northern exports Kirkland & Ellis; the law firm announced its tenancy in the building back in December.
