West Memorial Place BP Lower 48 will lease approximately 91,000 square feet at West Memorial Place.

HOUSTON—Although the Energy Corridor submarket was impacted by Hurricane Harvey, Skanska announced in November that both buildings at West Memorial Place had come back into service and were fully functional, making them the first office buildings in the area to recover after the storm. Nearly a year later, Skanska has reached a lease agreement with BP Lower 48 for approximately 91,000 square feet at West Memorial Place, the first speculative LEED Platinum campus in the Energy Corridor and metro.

BP Lower 48 plans to relocate its Houston office to West Memorial Place II later this year and will occupy three full floors of office space formerly leased by IHI E&C. Included in the lease is 5,500 square feet on the ground floor, where BP Lower 48 plans to develop a multi-use space for employees that includes a patio with seating overlooking Terry Hershey Park.
