MidtownCoog Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Some say St. Joe's is about to bite the dust.Which makes me wonder about the new medical towers in Midtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Man, what a bunch of downers. Most cities would kill for the expansion in our energy sector. JP Morgan consolidates some space and you're ready to close the entire city? It's not that big a deal. It is offset by the companies that are moving here. Our 5.3 million residents will survive.

jt16 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Word is that there are three very large square footage tenants coming soon to downtown, and this will tighten the dt market considerable. I've heard that Dan Duncan (Enterprise CEO) is personally buying 1100 Louisiana and Enterprise will occupy roughly 600,000 sq. feet and that Chevron is looking for roughly the same amount of space. EOG is also apparently searching around for a huge chunk of space too. I cannot personally verify this, so maybe somebody else can confirm. Maybe we are finally seeing the boom from higher energy prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR3985 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Didnt Chevron just purchase the new Enron building? As far as Enterprise goes I have heard the same rumor, but it has not been confirmed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Wow, if so that is some very good news. Lets hope that what you heard is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 1100 has some funky lime green floors still smoke stained from the 80s.A new tennant would be nice.Overall, it's a very nice buidling. And a Treebeards and Starbucks, to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Amegy Bank has some offices in 1100 Louisiana right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Amegy Bank has some offices in 1100 Louisiana right?I believe the Amegy branch is in the Pennzoil Building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) Amegy branch bank is also in 1100 on the Smith side across from Luther's. Not sure if they have any floors. Speaking of which, I wonder if Amegy corporate offices will ever leave that dump on San Felipe? Two Post Oak?That place is horrible. I worked a project on the 11th floor.

The Great Hizzy! Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Amegy took over a lot of the branch and office locations held by Southwest Bank of Texas. You'll note that they took over the building on Main Street caticorner from the METRO Building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokieone Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Amegy didn't "take over" a lot of Southwest Bank of Texas buildings, they are the same buildings because all Southwest Bank of Texas did is change their name. They have two main corporate buildings, the one in downtown that used to be the city of Houston's close to Main (the black one you can see from I-45) and also the one on San Felipe. Other than that, the rest of what they have in downtown are branches, not actual corporate offices. Amegy has also been bought now, but I don't think that will change too much of their landscape.

MidtownCoog Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yea, but Amegy got bought out by Zion (?) from SLC.But they are keeping the Amegy name down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolMan Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) Amegay has three main offices - 1801 Main (operations), San Felipe (corporate), and a 1 floor in the Continental building. After the merger is complete everyone will be out of the Continental building, and most likely the Galleria location too.They will be keeping the Amegy name down here.

Lowbrow Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) I wouldnt doubt the EOG claim, they have been doing very well recently and hiring like mad. Edited November 10, 2005 by Lowbrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt16 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I hear the Chevron deal is all but done, but there are delays because the owner of the old Enron building died in the plane crash at Hobby last week. I'm not sure what that does for negotiations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 JP Morgan Chase is moving alot of its offices out of the JPMCT, and into the building across the street, which is actually owned by them. I think its because the JPMCT is owned by Hines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Wow !!!Burlington Coat Factory headquarters??? COOL!!!No.. no.. no. He means Burlington, Vermont. They've been looking for a new city hall for a long time, and I guess this is a good fit. I know I wouldn't mind living in a city where the entire council and mayor telecommuted. Or are they outsourcing their government to Houston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
