jermh Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) They have removed the Bank of America Center naming from the building and were breaking down all the furniture within the former BofA location in lobby as I left today.

Popular Post jermh Posted June 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Pure speculation, (please delete or move if this is the wrong place) but I'm betting Bank of America Center becomes TC Energy Center. TC Energy is a major tenant who's lease doesn't expire until 2030, and 3 days ago the domain tcenergycenter.com was purchased. Link to the whois search that shows when the domain was purchased. There's also been a TC Energy logo projected on a wall in the lobby near the elevator bank since they had an event a few months ago.

It looks like the owners of this building were quick to act when BoA made moves to leave. Well done. This is a great building and deserves to be held in the highest regard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyt36 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) TC Energy I have not heard of (I don't work in the industry) . . . TransCanada, however, I have. Impressive! It's certainly a signature trophy tower if you ask me, at least visually. Only problem is it looks right only from a couple of directions! Why not name it Keystone XL Tower?! Well I'll take more foot traffic downtown, even if it's protesters 🤣🤣 Edited June 17, 2019 by mattyt36 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jermh Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Phase II of the lobby renovation is kicking off construction 8/31. Exterior windows punched similar to what was done for the restaurant space on the Capitol St side of the building. Additional conferencing, a coffee bar, and two floors of office space added in the former bank lobby.

Is it just that the the vacancy rate was so high going into COVID that the back-to-office vs pre covid stat is distorted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just happened to have two large ones go delinquent during the month of March. Pretty much a non-story. Pretty sure Dallas, for example, has had more major office building delinquencies and foreclosures than we have in recent years. And of course there's something in the blood of Houston journalists (and Houstonians in general) that just loves to latch on to any negative stories about Houston.

Chicago has a lot of similar situations. Houston seems to have held on longer than other cities, it's just catching up to some other places. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
