In development news out of Houston, Texas Tower, a 47-story, 1 msf, Class AA office tower project in Downtown Houston, has reached its structural topping out. The building is a development of Hines and Ivanhoé Cambridge.
Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, the project is being built to the highest standards that Hines has ever developed in Houston, including LEED® Platinum, WiredScore and WELL™ Building Standards.
As Houston’s most advanced new building, Texas Tower will feature unprecedented amenities in the vertically integrated campus, including: a dramatic lobby with cues from the hospitality sector; multiple food and beverage offerings; abundant spaces for networking; a full-service conference facility; public gardens on level 12; and a high-performance fitness center. Ten-foot, full-height windows will allow for an abundance of natural light across the 30k sf floor plates and a sophisticated underfloor HVAC system will put comfort choices in the hands of occupants. Cantilevered bays on each face of the floorplate are surrounded by 3 walls of glass providing opportunities for dramatic internal stairs, atriums and communal spaces, as well as potential access to fresh air and outdoor green space.
The tower is placed diagonally on the site resulting in a powerful civic presence and unparalleled view corridors throughout the tower. The unique site is at the confluence of the CBD, the Theatre District and the Historic District—Houston’s ‘main and main’ location for a lively place to live, work and play. The building’s desirable location leverages the myriad restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, as well as an exploding residential population.
Texas Tower is scheduled to open in Q4 2021 and is 40% leased with tenants including Hines, Vinson and Elkins and DLA Piper law firms. Conversations with additional tenants are ongoing.
