HOUSTON—Myers, Crow & Saviers, Ltd., broke ground on Mason Creek Office Center II, 21700 Merchants Way, Katy, near Mason Road at I-10 in Houston's Energy Corridor. The three-story, 127,955-square-foot office building is the second phase of the Mason Creek Office Center project, following the lease-up of Phase I by GEICO in December 2013. Construction of the second building will be complete by the end of February 2015.
One mile east of the intersection of Interstate 10/Katy Freeway and the Grand Parkway/Highway 99, Mason Creek Office Center II will feature approximately 42,650-square-foot floor plates, energy-efficient construction and systems, and a 6-per-1,000 parking ratio. Myers, Crow & Saviers is applying for LEED Silver certification by the U. S. Green Building Council. The 9.3-acre site is located in Mason Creek Corporate Park, a covenant-restricted, master-planned business park owned by Parkside Capital. The Grand Parkway at I-10 has recently re-opened with the completion of the north/south interchange ramps, allowing Mason Creek commuters direct access from I-10 to U.S. 290.
“Mason Creek Office Center II meets the needs of tenants in both its location and its design,” says Mark Saviers, principal, Myers, Crow & Saviers. “Today's businesses are seeking newly constructed space tailored to attract a commuting labor force. At Mason Creek II, the technology and the efficiency are built in from the ground up.”
The building's location has the electrical capacity for two 6.5-megawatt circuits to be brought to the building to power call or data center operations. The property also includes backup generator infrastructure and partially covered parking. The parking ratio of 6 cars per 1,000 square feet provides the high-density parking required by growing companies.
“With neighbors such as GEICO and the engineering/energy/technology firms nearby, Mason Creek Office Center II will appeal to expanding firms already in the market as well as companies moving to Houston. Its location, with immediate access to the residential neighborhoods of Katy/Cinco Ranch and Northwest Houston and the highly rated Katy school district, is a major plus in employee recruitment and retention,” says Bob Cromwell, managing director, Moody Rambin Interests.
"The success of Mason Creek I and Katy's continuing growth confirm the need for more new office space here," notes Katy Area Economic Development Council CEO Lance LaCour. "We welcome the opportunity to assist businesses in relocating or expanding to Mason Creek Office Center II."
