HOUSTON-On Nov. 2, Crescent Real Estate Equities will break ground on the 27-story 5 Houston Center, adding 577,000 sf of office space to Downtown Houston’s Dastside.

The ground-breaking is taking place nearly nine months after the project had been made public. The development will be located at 1401 McKinney and is an expansion of Houston Center, a large collection of office towers, retail space and a hotel owned by Crescent since 1997.

The building is only a few blocks from the city’s new stadium, Enron Field, and is part of a rebirth of the Eastside of Downtown. Nearby, work already is under way to turn Texaco’s old headquarters building into a new Ritz-Carlton hotel. And a proposed basketball arena–which faces a test at the ballot box Nov. 9–could bring additional vitality to the Eastside.
