HOUSTON-Gearing up to put more office product in the tight Energy Corridor, Transwestern Houston is planning to start construction on a two-building, 700,000-sf project. The first phase of the as-yet unnamed project will break ground in Q1 2008 and take 18 months to complete.

The construction cost is still being formulated, but similar class A buildings have gone up for $225 per sf. “Right now we’re planning twin buildings, with the first phase at around 350,000,” says Carleton Riser, Transwestern’s managing director. The twins will sit on 21 acres at Eldridge and Enclave parkways near the 878-acre Enclave corporate office park. “If it’s a build-to-suit, the project could be designed and sited differently,” Riser adds. Houston-based Kirksey Architecture is designing the twin-tower development.
