context_page_description: 609 Main at Texas is a skyscraper in Houston, Texas. Construction began in 2014.
  The 48-story skyscraper, designed by the architecture firm Pickard Chilton, listed United Airlines as its anchor tenant. Built by Hines Development group, the building is rated LEED Platinum.
  "It's one of the more ambitious skyscrapers developed downtown in years," Allyn West wrote in the Houston Chronicle. From the freeway, it "appears a handsome, shiny, elegant guy. Maybe my favorite view of it happens when I'm heading south from the Heights on I-45, as the building emerges almost shyly between the new Market Square Tower and JPMorgan Chase."
