HOUSTON-A 748,000-sf, high-rise, high-tech building at 1301 Fannin that specializes in hosting complicated back office and telecom operations has landed two additional leases to a tenant roster that includes back office operations for Pennzoil, Exxon, Bank of New York, MCI Worldcom and Internap Network Services. The new leases go to Teleport Communications Houston Inc., a subsidiary of AT&T Corp. and The Travel Agency.

Teleport Communications Houston Inc. has signed an eight-year, three-month lease for 2,952 sf. The company is paying $828,000 for this lease, but leasing manager Dan Egger of Jones Lang LaSalle, who represented the landlord in the lease transaction tells GlobeSt.com this lease is a renewal of a portion of the total space Teleport occupies in the building.
