HOUSTON-Locally based Morris Architects is trying to find a developer for a mixed-use project it wants constructed in the Midtown district of the city.

Morris wants to design the project, which it hopes will combine office, residential and retail space, and is offering to become the lead tenant for the office portion. The architectural firm currently has approximately 29,000 sf at 3355 West Alabama St., Doug Childers, associate director of operations for Morris, tells GlobeSt.com. Morris will need at least that much space with the option to expand, says Childers, and is willing to sign up to a 10-year lease to secure the project.

Morris envisions the project as an urban lifestyle structure located within walking distance to one of the light rail stations. Ideally, says Childers, the office portion of the building would be a minimum of 50,000 sf with between 50 and 120 residential units and at least 10,000-sf of street level retail. The firm has put out an open request for proposals to the local and national development community. Childers is already fielding calls from numerous interested parties and expects between five and 10 serious responses by the mid June deadline.
