The 48-story skyscraper was designed by the Connecticut-based architecture firm Pickard Chilton. [3] [4] The building listed United Airlines as its anchor tenant, which occupied the spaces in 2018. [5] [6] The distinct launch feature of the building was its emphasis on sustainability: the tower received a platinum certification under the USGBC's LEED rating system, making it one of the most sustainable buildings in Houston in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impacts at the time. Notably, the tower has also featured garden rooftops as a beginning to future trend in Houston skyline. [6]
609 Main at Texas first came into public attention in 2011, with its estimated completion date set to be in 2013. [7] Eventually, the construction for the building began in 2014, and was completed and opened in 2017 by the Hines Development Group. [1]
The skyscraper is being actively occupied for the use between retail and office spaces.
