Golyadkin Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) I think you might have read it wrong. From the article:"...will be constructed on a 1.5-acre site at the corner of W. Sam Houston Parkway and Briar Forest Drive."That's about 2 miles south of I-10. Edited October 3, 2012 by Golyadkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 the site is on the corner of BW8 and Briar Forest - not I-10... you know, right next to One Briar Lake (where Samsung is currently located). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 so the article is wrong?Did you read it? Just asking...

Sam Houston Parkway and Briar Forest Drive in the heart of the Westchase Management District.." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Stonian Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Ah come on folks.., enough already! BW8 and Briar Forest.., TowerSpotter is 2 miles off but I'm happy he spotted this one as I had not seen it mentioned anywhere else.Maybe someone can simply remove the "(I-10)". Thanks TowerSpotter, nice find..., keep'em coming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgriff Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 What?! So there is more than one samsung? They are both part of the same conglomerate. This building in Houston is the headquarters of the Samsung company that does engineering for petrochem projects. They compete with Jacobs, Becthel, KBR, etc... nothing to do with cell phones. Samsung is one of the biggest business in the world. If you go to South Korea you'll see Samsung brand apartment buildings, cars, plumbing fixtures, etc...  There are a few companies in Korea that make just about everything over there. I once visited SK in Seoul to meet with them about a refinery project in Saudi Arabia. I noticed while I was there that even the toilets in the SK building were made by SK. One of the guys in a meeting I was in drove an SK motorcycle. This building is the headquarters of Samsung Engineering America, not Samsung. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
