HOUSTON—Transwestern's Houston headquarters has been awarded the leasing assignment for a 203,316-square-foot, class A office building. The building is part of Mid Main, a 214,612-square-foot mixed-use project being developed by RHS Interests Inc. The eight-story office building will be located at 3501 Main St. in Houston's Midtown submarket. Scheduled for completion in spring 2016, the office building and a 545-space structured garage are slated to break ground as soon as preleasing is completed. The first level of the garage will include 9,716 square feet of high-end retail space.

Mid Main is a master-planned, walkable property with a prime Main Street location along the METRORail. Located between downtown and the Museum District, Midtown is an eclectic business, social, culinary and performing arts destination. In addition to the office and retail space, Mid Main will include 363 multifamily units and a 773-space parking garage. The project is located adjacent to the Midtown Arts & Theater Center Houston (MATCH), a performance venue for a broad spectrum of Houston's leading and emerging arts organizations.

Transwestern's David Lee, senior vice president, tells GlobeSt.com, “This is a groundbreaking multi-use development in an area of growing significance. It is unique because of its transit-oriented component and trendy, eclectic retail market. This is going to attract that younger generation of employees to the area. It's really an emerging market and a pioneering project with huge appeal in the business community.”
