609 Main at Texas (also referred to as Hines North Tower, Block 69)[1] is a skyscraper in Houston, Texas. Construction began in 2014.[2][3][4]

The 48-story skyscraper, designed by the architecture firm ,[5] listed United Airlines as its anchor tenant.[4] Built by Hines Development group,[6] the building is rated LEED Platinum.[4]

"It's one of the more ambitious skyscrapers developed downtown in years," Allyn West wrote in the Houston Chronicle.[4] 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."[4]
