HOUSTON-Transwestern Commercial Services has beat out three other brokerage houses vying for leasing and management contracts to Westbridge One, a 103,835-sf, class A office building in the Westchase submarket.
For the last four years, Jones Lang LaSalle held the leasing contract to Westbridge One at 10200 Westheimer Rd. in the Westchase submarket. But, the building owner changed and thus so did leasing team as did the asset management group, which previously was handled by L&B Institutional Property Managers Inc. from Dallas. A Jones Lang LaSalle spokesman declined to say if the firm put in a bid to retain the leasing contract.
The Transwestern leasing team will consist of Eric Anderson, senior vice president, and Greg Tilton, leasing agent. Transwestern assigned Pat Grimes, senior property manager and Karen Beard, property manager, for day-to-day management.
In late June, Mosing Properties LP of Houston bought the building from Dow Chemical Co. Employees Retirement Plan Trust and put the contracts up for bid, Anderson tells GlobeSt.com. A Mosing Properties' spokesman says Transwestern was selected from the field of competitors due to a “strong reputation, excellent market knowledge and exceptional personnel.”
Anderson says the top priority is to fill the open 20,000 sf, cordoned off in spaces ranging from 1,000 sf to 11,000 sf. The quoted rate is $19 per sf. Anderson says the building has a lot of granite finishes and looks “outstanding” so no immediate capital improvements are needed.
