I agree, I liked the old Texas tower, but this tower is a beauty.

A shame about losing the fourth tallest pre-war tower in the city, but this is a net gain for Houston, to be honest.

The two Pickard Chilton buildings are going to look great together. I really like their glass.

Hines has released two videos on 609 Main at Texas.

Here's some screenshots from the vid:

Stunning and Iconic. If this doesn't make other Texas cities drool a little, I don't know what would.

This looks very similar to Eighth Ave Place in Calgary and the proposed 1144 15th in Denver, both also designed by Pickard Chilton.

Impressive. Man if Houston could get some tall residential downtown that would be fantastic. Houston's downtown is really growing into one of America's great skylines.

TXLove · #**191** Posted **Aug 8, 2014, 9:16 PM**

Finally some renders and screenshots showing this beauty in the entire skyline! Looks to be a great addition to Houston's skyline!

I was thinking McHenry's Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park...

Excellent!!! Moving right along. Besides the foundation, will the structure be cast-in-place /post-tension or structural steel?

Cool, that is going to be a healthy-sized pour.

BG918 · #**197** Posted **Aug 20, 2014, 3:04 AM**

Is there a webcam for this building?

Looks like they may be doing the pour tonight. There are four concrete pump trucks.
