The 48-story skyscraper, designed by the architecture firm Pickard Chilton,[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]
