Hines just made it easier for tenants of its newest downtown office tower to bike to work with the debut of The Bike Vault at 609 Main at Texas.

A grand opening of the indoor bike storage facility was held Friday in concert with Bike to Work Day, a national event celebrating the bicycle as a mode of transportation.

The new bike storage area, accessible from the garage with a building access badge, has parking for up to 32 bicycles, changing facilities, storage lockers, bike repair stations, free refreshments and towel service.

"As our tenants continue to look to alternative forms of transportation, combined with the initiatives of groups such as BikeHouston to provide more access to high quality bike lanes and trails, we are excited to provide an improved experience for these riders," Hines Managing Director Philip Croker said in a statement.

Hines will next add a Parcel Pending location adjacent to Bike Vault with lockers where tenants can have packages and groceries delivered.

The 48-story tower opened two years ago. Amenities include a "hotel-style" lobby with a café and spaces for networking, a 7,000-square-foot fitness center and 8,000-square-foot conference center.

The building is 86 percent leased with a roster of tenants that includes EnVen Energy, Kirkland & Ellis, Orrick, Hogan Lovells, McKinsey & Co., Russell Reynolds Associates, Royal Bank of Canada, White and Case, Goldman Sachs, and United Airlines. Deals are in the works that would push occupancy to 94 percent.
