An affiliate of Wile Interests Inc. that bought acreage in west Houston in 2008 for an office development is finally pulling the trigger on the project, which it will build with Stream Realty Partners LP

The partners will break ground by the end of the year on a 250,000-square-foot, Class A office building in the Energy Corridor. The project will be constructed on a 12-acre site at the southeast corner of Interstate 10 and Greenhouse Road.

So how tall is 250,000 sq. feet?

[swtsig]

assuming 25k sf floor plates you're talking 10 floors.

[Pleak]

That's a decent height for so far out.

[LTAWACS]

moo... it's not much but it's better than nothing.

[Pleak]

It's almost to Katy - what did you expect - 50 stories? I'm just happy it's not one of those 6-story square atrium buildings that popped up all over town in the late 1970's/80's - like the bunch along the South Loop.

That's an interesting location... as of now there's nothing on any of the corners at that intersection. I would have expected it to be on the north side though; last time I was around there they were clearing land north of I-10, especially a giant lot on the NW corner. So I guess there will be more development in addition to this building around there soon.

I work out here in Park Ten area. This part of I-10 is sparse but I am sure it will be gobbled up by some oil and gas service company. I welcome the construction.

"Stream, which will provide office development, leasing and management services, said a 130,000 square-foot office tenant has been secured, but it would not disclose the name of the company."

 

The Energy Corridor continues to boom.  Which will be awkward when we shut down Katy and all of those new downtown dwellars are then forced to reverse commute to the EC.

Is this different than the office construction that's getting built on the land that Second Baptist owns?

Here's the original thread...

I remember seeing a sign/picture on the location a year or two ago for 9-10 story building, so I guess this is a bit of a downgrade. Still, incorporating retail will make the mixed-use crowd happy.

Not really. This is only "mixed-use" in that a single site contains both retail and office space. I doubt very many people who advocate for mixed-use development would be very happy with just throwing down some strip malls next to office buildings.
