brijonmang Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Interesting. It looks like this will go on the piece of land that currently sits vacant adjacent to the highway. The old Compaq campus sure has been carved up and recycled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyM Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 This area is already getting busy (trying to grab lunch is fun). Should be even busier after Noble moves into the twin 10s in May . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Here's the press release: NOBLE ENERGY CENTER TWO OFFICE BUILDING TO BE DEVELOPED IN HOUSTON, TX BY TRAMMELL CROW COMPANY AND PRINCIPAL REAL ESTATE INVESTORS --Energy Firm Signs Second Building Lease Adjacent to New Global Headquarters; Plans New Building to Accommodate Future Growth-- HOUSTON, TX - Trammell Crow Company (TCC), in joint venture with Principal Real Estate Investors, announces that Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NBL), a leading independent energy company, has signed a lease for a new building to accommodate the Company's continued growth. Noble Energy selected TCC and Principal Real Estate Investors to develop the new building which will be called Noble Energy Center Two - a 456,000 square-foot build-to-suit office building located in Houston's Northwest submarket. The development of Noble Energy Center Two is the result of continued expansion by Noble Energy, following its prior commitment in January 2012 to lease the entire 498,000 square-foot, 10-story office building at 20555 State Highway 249, now called Noble Energy Center One. TCC and Principal Real Estate Investors initially purchased the building and adjacent land parcel in May 2011 from Hewlett Packard Corporation. The two buildings will be connected via an elevated sky bridge. Together, they will serve as Noble Energy's new global headquarters and will total 954,000 square feet of leased space. Noble Energy Center Two is expected to break ground in the summer of 2013 and be completed by mid-2015. "This expansion is part of a long-term plan designed to enhance Noble Energy's performance. Our new headquarters campus will accommodate our continued and exciting growth, while creating an environment that encourages creativity and teamwork," stated Charles D. Davidson, Noble Energy Chairman and CEO. The 20-story, Class A office building will feature an integrated eight-story parking garage and an adjacent Town Hall to serve corporate meetings. The development team is seeking LEED® Silver certification by the US Green Building Council. Kirksey Architects has been retained as the project's architect. The campus is located at the corner of State Highway 249 and Louetta, adjacent to The Vintage, a master-planned mixed-use community that features 537,000 square feet of retail/office space, over 1,600 upscale residences, two apartment communities, a 123-room hotel, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, and a St. Luke's regional hospital. It is also situated among an abundance of attractive wooded neighborhoods, golf courses, premier retail and restaurants and regional parks. Access is provided by way of Beltway 8, SH 249 and the planned Grand Parkway expansion, which will improve regional mobility throughout north and west Houston.

ClutchCity Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 ^its already built. They moved into a 10 story, 500k sq ft building that was formerly part of the HP Campus and are having this 20 story, ~500k sq ft project built to accomadate future growth. This part of town is really blowing up every time I'm in the area everything looks completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonIsHome Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 This tower is so tall in the middle of no where that I can see it clearly from Memorial City.... I'll see if I can snag a photo.That's houston for you. It's our city, and it ain't gonna change.Lack of physical deterrents and lax zoning codes means that we going to keep on keeping on doing what Houston does. I think it's about 50 years too late to gripe about it now. let's just enjoy the facts that towers are going up right now, and forget about keeping them in a dense cluster like Seattle or SF.I complain a lot then realize I choose to be here and I love our skylines with all their faults. I think we are programmed to not appreciate what we have.Anyway, this is a handsome building, and to contradict what I said above, I wish it was closer to downtown.

Montrose1100 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Seeing it being constructed from the Vintage gives it a Little Woodlands feel. The vintage is successful for the restaurants but the shopping could use some help. I know the Willowbrook Mall is right down the road, but all the shops are aiming for boring suburban housewives. Don't get me wrong, I wish every store success but there are no options for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
