There's a huge amount of corruption involved in building that traffic circle in that image that is going to commence soon involving the local TIRZ that is paying 30 million dollars to build it for Midway and teardown a portion of the garage they already have an easement for... Like how did Midway even build on it in the first place. Once those works are complete phase 3 can start. Love the project but they should all be in jail:D!

Exclusive: Houston upstream co. in talks with Hines to relocate to new CityCentre tower

 

By Cara Smith  – Reporter, Houston Business Journal

Oct 30, 2018, 4:17pm CDT

 

Houston-based Marathon Oil Corp. (NYSE: MRO) is exploring the possibility of relocating to a new tower in CityCentre, sources with knowledge of the deal told the Houston Business Journal.

 

The new tower would contain around 600,000 square feet of office space on a roughly three-acre tract of land at Interstate 10 and Beltway 8. Houston-based Hines is in conversations to potentially build that tower and buy the land from Houston-based Midway, according to the sources.

 

Marathon's Houston headquarters is currently at the company's namesake building, Marathon Oil Tower, at 5555 San Felipe St. in the Uptown/Galleria area.

Marathon and Hines declined to comment. Midway couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Nothing has been signed or is finalized, sources said.

Boy, Houston’s good ol’ oil industry is hellbent on not leaving any iconic buildings for the next generation, especially like it did in the 70’s/80’s. While I love the concept of City Centre at street level, the buildings there and in the Energy Corridor are pretty basic, short boxes that all look quite similar.

Our iconic buildings are about 30 years old and due for some modernization. Hopefully many will either be renovated or re-purposed, but it seems the Houston office market maybe a bit oversupplied for the near team.

This may actually be more underwhelming than the Phillips 66 headquarters down the road in Westchase, which is saying something. Timoric is right, big oil is going low profile. It looks like Marathon split into two companies some time back, with the refining division headquartered in Ohio and just the upstream division here. I don't have full access to the Fortune site so it seems like the upstream division has fallen off the top 500 list. But if they are hurting for cash it does not make sense to lease new office space vs. occupying older, cheaper space. I think this is about competing for younger talent, as well as the shorter commute. City Centre is a more interesting locale than the current tower's isolation on San Felipe.
