editor Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 It's not all that surprising that with Kinder Morgan eating El Paso Energy, the tower at 1010 Milam is getting a new name. Mark down "Kinder Morgan Building" as its new official name once the purchase is finished.For the curious, Kinder Morgan's offices will move from 1 Allen Center to the bottom half of the former El Paso Energy Building. An independent company formed from the buyout called EP Energy will take most of the top half, with the exception of the top five floors which are going to whomever has pockets deep enough to get them.Here's the naming history of the building (in reverse chronological order):*Kinder Morgan Building*El Paso Energy Building*Tenneco Building*Tennessee Pipeline Company Building*1010 Milam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strickn Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Of purely historical (?) interest((?)) Kinder Morgan was the result of a buyout by KN Energy, of Colorado, which took the Kinder Morgan name and moved its HQ here fourteen years ago.KN Energy had shortly prior bought MidCon pipeline from California oil giant Occidental.MidCon had bought United Energy Resources of Houston just six months before being gobbled up by Oxy in a friendly bid.United Energy Resources had leased the largest block of spec space in Houston's tallest building when El Paso Natural Gas backed out. Previous to that, El Paso had been the name tenant and our tallest building was to be called El Paso Tower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I went for a walk today and randomly took a photo of the Kinder Morgan Building. I really like both the circular glass inner-facade and the building design. I was able to get the Kinder Morgan outside building signage in this picture too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 As I recall the circular glass inner facade is recent. I was briefly doing a project in that building maybe 15-20 years ago and I remember it being different. I agree, it looks great. The main Kinder Morgan building seems to have largely avoided damage from the storm, though their garage did not: 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then I believe it was still named El Paso Energy Building. A pic from damage after Ike. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
