'Stonian Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 i don't know what makes you think exxon owes anyone any explanation to anybody whatsoever. you can speculate all you want but their keeping mum means nothing at all. edit: and i assure you nancy knows less than many posters on this site. I didn't mean to imply that Exxon 'owed' me or anyone any explanation, but thanks for giving me permission to speculate swtsig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBooze Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Once again guys I hate to dash anyone's hopes of ExxonMobil's HQ relocating to The Woodlands, but I will. Per EM's rules I cannot post direct quotes from employee communications, but for the most part work groups have already been informed as to whom will be occuppying the new satellite offices in The Woodlands. Those groups include the IT department, HR, Tax and a couple other groups. They were under the impression that they would be relocated to the new campus with everyone else, but when the decision was made to lease the satellite offices and they were informed there was a little sigh of relief let out by some employees, especially the ones that live in the Sugar Land area since their move to the new offices is delayed a little. Also, just to reiterate, $125,000 is average for an EM employee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Stonian Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 You're not dashing any hopes TBooze.., Exxon has never said Irving will be the HQ until Jesus returns. So as soon as Rex retires I (and many others) fully expect that the HQ will move to The Woodlands.., mark my words! And maybe it's just me, but while I want all 3 HQ's to relocate to Houston at some point (Exxon, Chevron, and BP) I'd much rather prefer the Exxon HQ.., sibling rivalry. Until then we will welcome the additional jobs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 If your hypothesis is correct, they will secure the lease of the remainder of the second building. For security reasons, no way they allow that space to be occupied by others. Security can easily be maintained with multiple tenants in one building, it's done all the time.

ahkelly Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Attached in the imgur link you will find an album of the eagle, and baby eagle at Hughes Landing. To the best of my knowledge as a broker, these eagles have not affected the particular phase being constructed right now but may later on in the future.

Sellanious Caesar Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 ^ Thanks Cloud. LOL looks like this lake is getting pounded on every side with midrise and highrise development. Isn't this the same lake they're going to build an island in the middle of with a gated community full of luxury homes too? Houston area's most urban lake?

arndthwrld82 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The island is already there and being built out. I tried posting a pic of it but it didn't work. You can see it on Google Maps satellite view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the tallest of the group? the last information made public was that all of the additional buildings at research forest lakeside would be shorter than the first, tallest building. as we know, things are always subject to change. i think one of the companies outgrew its space shortly after moving in (repsol maybe?). the research forest lakeside buildings are much more appealing than the howard hughes co. product across the lake. it's embarrassing actually. locals are disgusted with the direction howard hughes is going (ugly buildings, less mixed used structures...)

It seems rather unusual for them to split their work groups like that. Commuting back and forth would be a pain. BP is not going to move to the US, but they are spinning off part of the company to a new Houston-based entity. Chevron's still got that Australian gas works to deal with before they start developing additional office space here in the States. I could see Exxon splitting in much the same way ConocoPhillips and Occidental split. That part of the company could end up in Houston. The other company would remain in Irving.

Not sure what you mean by imagining that Exxon could split in much the same way ConocoPhillips and Occidental split. Those were two very different splits. ConocoPhillips was a vertical split, where they spun off the downsteam business and kept the upstream. Occidental was a horizontal split, where they spun off California E&P assets into a separate company. In any event, if Exxon were to do either kind of split, I'm not sure what "company" would remain in Irving, given that there are zero operations in Irving; only executives. If Exxon were to do a split, maybe one of the companies would maintain its headquarters in Irving, which would mean a down-sized headquarters. It seems more likely that Irving would get left behind altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I could see E&P coming to Houston, while R&M stays up north. That's essentially how Marathon split its operation. That's if the whole kit and caboodle doesn't come to Houston. I found it significant that the IT, HR, tax and accounting departments are all rumored to be moving to the Woodlands. The only people who would be left in Irving would be Tillerson and his immediate lieutenants. If Tillerson weren't wed to his ranch in Fracking Hell, the whole company would be in Houston already.

That's just it. R&M can't stay up north, unless it is already up north. R&M is not up north, but is currently being relocated from Virginia to Houston.
