Construction has gotten underway on Westway Plaza, a five-story, 312k sf office project located at the northwest corner of Sam Houston Tollway and Clay Rd in Houston. The project, being built by an affiliate of Transwestern Development Co, has a 150k sf pre-lease commitment in place to General Electric Co. (GE). The building will be ready for occupancy in the second quarter of 2015.
Westway Plaza is designed to provide high-quality office space within a flexible floorplate and will include extensive floor-to-ceiling glass and 9-foot-6-inch finished ceiling heights. The building will feature a two-story lobby with granite flooring, marble walls and a glass curtain wall entry. Parking is provided in a multi-story garage with an enclosed building connection.
Strategically located along the Sam Houston Tollway approximately six minutes north of Interstate 10, Westway Plaza has premium visibility and direct access to both Clay Road and the tollway service road. The building is the latest addition to the commercial office hub established at this major intersection.
Powers Brown Architecture designed the building, while EE Reed Construction Co is the general contractor. Cardno Haynes Whaley is the structural engineer; DBR is the mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer; and Walter P. Moore is the civil engineer. SWA is the project’s landscape architect.
“Westway Plaza is tailored to the needs of larger corporate users,” said Carleton Riser, president of Transwestern Development Co. “The floorplate efficiency, best-in-class design elements and visibility will allow tenants to optimize the combination of total occupancy cost and a high-quality work environment.”
Riser and Transwestern Executive Vice President Eric Anderson negotiated the lease on behalf of the building owner. Craig Beyer and Warren Alexander of CBRE repped GE. Transwestern Development Co is developing the project, while Transwestern is the leasing agent.
