Texas Tower Houston
International law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom has signed a lease to occupy 52,000 square feet in Houston’s Texas Tower. With this agreement, the building has reached 99% occupancy within three years of its opening. The legal powerhouse plans a $9 million build-out, with construction set to begin in summer 2025. Texas Tower has become a sought-after business hub, featuring luxury amenities and an impressive roster of tenants, signaling a bright future for the downtown Houston office market.
Houston, we have some exciting news! International law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom is all set to make a big move into the stunning Texas Tower. This shiny and modern 47-story office building is located right in the heart of downtown at 845 Texas Ave. With Skadden’s arrival, Texas Tower has now reached an impressive 99% occupancy, barely three years after it first opened its doors in December 2021.
The legal powerhouse has signed a lease that covers a whopping 52,000 square feet across two entire floors—floor 18 and floor 23. That’s a lot of room for all the legal wrangling they do! But wait, there’s more: it’s estimated that the office build-out will cost at least $9 million. That’s no small change! This build-out will be pretty extensive too, affecting about 42,000 square feet of their leased space.
Construction is set to kick off in the summer of 2025 and should wrap up by the end of the same year. Talented folks will be working tirelessly to get everything ready for Skadden’s team, as their official lease will commence in April 2026. So, save the date folks, as Houston welcomes this prestigious firm!
With this new lease, Texas Tower is flying off the charts in terms of occupancy. There is a total of 1.2 million square feet of office space in the tower, and with Skadden moving in, it really shows how sought-after this building has become. Right now, the only available space left in the tower includes two spec suites totaling 18,000 square feet.
As the brains behind Texas Tower, Hines is also a key player there, alongside a slew of notable tenants including Vinson & Elkins, McGuireWoods, DLA Piper, Novak Druce, and Houston natives like Cheniere Energy Inc. and Morgan Stanley. Oh, and there’s even a confidential tenant on board! The coworking space, The Square at Texas Tower, is thriving with an occupancy rate over 98%. It’s safe to say that this gem has become a buzzing hub for professionals.
Texas Tower isn’t just about providing office space; it’s about offering an experience. This building flaunts a range of luxurious amenities like public gardens on the 12th level, a well-equipped health club, and a conference center. There are also lounge areas and multiple dining options to keep everyone fueled and happy. Designed to feel less like an office and more like a five-star hotel, Texas Tower really goes above and beyond.
The news doesn’t stop here either! Another firm, Clifford Chance, will also be joining the Texas Tower family with a lease that involves a staggering $20 million build-out for their space. Clearly, the demand for high-quality office spaces is on the rise, and Texas Tower is at the forefront of it all.
Houston is buzzing with excitement as more and more companies join the vibrant Texas Tower community. With its chic design and top-tier facilities, it’s no wonder that businesses are eager to be part of this innovative workspace. Keep your eyes peeled; there are big things on the horizon!
