Community College Seals Prime CBD Location With Americana Lease

HOUSTON-Houston Community College will gets keys in April to 30,000 sf of class B space in a high rise, darkened in 2003 for a condo conversion that failed to get off the ground. The long-term lease provides space for classrooms and offices.

HOUSTON-Houston Community College has inked a deal that will give the school 30,000 sf of leased classroom and office space in a key Downtown high rise, filling class B space that’s been vacant more than a year.

The school’s long-term lease of the Americana Building landed a prime 4.5-acre campus in the heart of the city and will help revitalize a long-vacant 15-story structure. “This is a huge coup,” Dave Hanusa, Trammell Crow Co.’s vice president with the Houston office division, tells GlobeSt.com about the transaction. “This deal was competitively sought after and we were really pleased we were able to land it.”

The school is planning an April occupancy of the 200,000-sf building at 811 Dallas St., which will undergo extensive renovations before the move-in of the Central College corporate training and continuing education department, the ACT center for online training and records management. Most of the relocating functions and programs will be uprooted from 3100 Main St. and bring hundreds of students to the Downtown.
