Houston Center is 72% leased. While owner Brookfield has not announced plans for Houston Center, some sort of renovation is likely. At $875M, Houston Center's disposition was the largest of 2017.
“Once renovations at the development are complete, Houston Center will have the most amenity-rich office environment in the central business district and will be the premier location to attract and retain employees,” Baker said.
