Bank Of America Center Bounces Back With Expansion And Renewal Activity

With its namesake tenant vacating in 2019, Bank of America Center has had many in Houston asking questions. Now we have answers, and they include a lobby redo. TransCanada signed an additional lease to expand its office by approximately 82K SF on three floors. Earlier this year, TransCanada signed a 22K SF expansion in the building.
