Moviewriter Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The new Texas Instrument broke ground on the three-story 165,000 square foot Class A structure. The 7 acre site at the northeast corner of U.S. 59 Highway 59 and University Blvd in the Telfair commercial development is expected to be completed by 2014.

TowerSpotter Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Any idea what's going to become of their old place in Stafford? I don't think there is any news on what the old place in Stafford future will be. I had heard they were moving.. Moving from where? (who) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I read a while back that TI was downsizing and moving their Stafford location to Sugar Land. Don't know if that's still true but if so that's a pretty big chunk of property they have in Stafford. I remember when the place first opened. They were out in the middle of no-where. Commercial property all around them now.

ChannelTwoNews Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I halfway forgot about this project. To the point when I first drove by it when I was in town back in January, I thought it was an expansion of the UH campus. I'm guessing it's basically done at this point, right?

Marcus Allen Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Excellent! And it begins. I cannot wait until more developers fill that huge swath of land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrage Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Wow thats sad. They've been at the Stafford location for a long time. I can remember being a kid (70s & 80s) and seeing that building on the way in and out of town when we would drive to Corpus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMan Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Is Stafford still doing okay in business? Or will the TI move hurt them? If the TI move is going to hurt them, do you think it was a mistake that the city made their own school district and pulled out of the ISDs? (Fort Bend ISD served what was in Fort Bend County with HISD serving what was in Harris County) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchFan Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 That TI facility in Stafford had a huge impact on Houston, at least for awhile. Not so much in and of itself, but by being the place that incubated the guys who eventually founded Compaq Computer, which I believe was at one time the largest corporation based in Houston. Especially interesting that it wasn't an energy company! It once had 20,000 employees in Houston, more than today at Chevron and somewhat less than Exxon Mobil (which I think is now at 27,000).
