    Pickard Chilton works with most major commercial architects in town. You'll see them teamed with Kendall Heaton quite a bit too. As for the Exxon campus, I think most of the major commercial architects in town had a piece of it. Kirksey built a lab or two, and PDR was involved in the interior design of the office buildings. They all seemed to play well together.

    same project. Vitol is the anchor of the Levey Park development. Vitol will occupy two floors... hardly a campus.

    pretty sure Chevron is only 1.3M sf...

    it would almost have to be. I'm not sure what the zoning requirements are, but everything else in the area is mid-rise at most. I'd imagine the buildings will be similar to Southwestern Energy (and BMC), where the floor plates are large (35k ft), but the overall height is low.

    and the new Cameron HQ off of the beltway, FMC at Generation Park, Conoco's new tower in the Energy Corridor.

    full disclosure, I saw it on clutchfans originally.Thought it fit well here.

    rumor confirmed - checked several sources. New campus designed by Gensler and developed by Patrinelli.

    Cameron is indeed spread out all over town. Only problem I see with a new campus - they're in multiple long-term leases in their current buildings.... two new leases this year alone. BUT, they have had a couple of decent sized projects on the drawing board recently that have been stopped rather abruptly. Could mean something. A lot. There are a half dozen smaller energy companies (people size, not revenue size) that will build in the next 12-18 months. There are two large companies that will build in the next 24 months.

    agreed - downtown is an unlikely destination for them. I think they'll be back in the market well before their lease is up though... they'll get a new building in Greenway Plaza someday, possibly on the site that Amegy Bank was rumored to be building a new tower on.

    Oxy is rumored to be in the market for 1M sf in Houston, but that rumor has been floating around for the better part of a year.

    To clarify, all of the major absorption I know of is going to happen in the EC (somewhere in the neighborhood of 2M sf). I assume there is demand in the CBD, because developers have plans to build there (CBD). I can't get my head around who the possible tenants are in the CBD, because most of the major blocks of space have been earmarked for the EC. any better? Bingo.
  13. hoothrewpoo
    I'm just assuming there's demand in the CBD because developers are building (or planning on building) there. I can't think of any tenants that are looking for more than 50-60k sf in downtown, BUT, that doesn't mean there aren't any. Just means I don't know about them.
  14. hoothrewpoo
    there's a ton of demand. Off of the top of my head, I can think of 2 million square feet of space that WILL be taken in the next 6-12 months (in big chunks). There's probably a whole lot more than that. Developers wouldn't build if the demand weren't there (CBD)... I just don't know currently who's demanding it. My guess is Linn Energy make a play for one of the new buildings downtown as an anchor in the next couple of years. Pure speculation though.
  15. hoothrewpoo
    Agreed. I think the next 1.5 - 2 million square feet of absorption (in addition to those already announced/speculated on this forum) will come in the Energy Corridor. Downtown is a great place to be... if you want/can afford to pay $35/ft NNN, and $200/month for parking. Energy corridor offers the same shiny Class A space, admittedly without all that downtown has to offer, for closer to $28/ft NNN - with free parking. Makes too much sense for corporations looking to absorb MAJOR square footage to look in markets outside of downtown. Back on topic - who's going to occupy this building? There's probably 3-4 major tenants looking for space, and as far as I know, none of them are looking downtown.
