Kind of a bummer that the really cool structural elements are hidden behind that hyper-reflective cladding, but aside from that, this is turning out nice. I like the metal fins. A very Pickard Chilton touch.

How is the leasing going for 609 Main?

Since 609 Main is a speculative downtown office tower, and with Skanska putting the brakes on their speculative downtown office building until substantial pre-leasing occurs with it (the 35 story Capitol Tower), was curious how 609 Main's pre-leasing is faring with the oil downturn's effects on Houston's office market?

No official announcement has been made, but both 609 and Capitol Tower are said to be in negotiation terms with potential tenants.

I've been keeping an I on this. I saw the Mariners vs the Astro at Minutemaid and I could just make out the progress.

Colvill: We are getting close to announcing our first tenant and have strong interest from several mid-size and large tenants. The building delivers at the end of 2016 and will be unsurpassed in terms of quality and amenities. It is one of two multi-tenant buildings in the U.S. that is being developed with raised flooring for under floor air distribution, so we are seeing a lot of prospective tenant excitement about that. Many of the largest corporations that have built headquarters buildings recently like Shell, Devon, and Exxon have structures with raised flooring. This is the wave of the future. Hines is an awesome client for developing what will be the highest quality office building in downtown Houston; this has been a very fun project. The building also will have a state-of-the-art fitness center and conference center in prime space on the second floor. We are also seeing extremely positive response to the amenity offerings.
