I wonder if they are the only tenant for that tower? There’s no logical reason to believe Corebridge will move to Dallas. The history and legacy logistics have been in Houston for going on a century tracing back to America General Corp (the namesake of this tower). Likewise, there’s no reason that HPE (and HPQ’s Houston division) will move to Austin (the tech hub). There’s some HPE employees in Austin and Dallas but they’re lower in the hierarchy and less in numbers. The entire compute division is ran in Houston which is currently driving the growth margins (surpassing networking). ExxonMobil did move from DFW to Houston (the oil and energies hub) so I see how this would resonate with your theory. But this is a very different situation. ExxonMobil’s roots have long been huge in Houston going all the way back to the Humble Oil Company. In contrast, Dallas’ Exxon employees have been shrinking to the point that it didn’t make sense to be over there. Other than the C suite and some leftover XTO employees in Fort Worth, there wasn’t much keeping ExxonMobil in Dallas. There was the Pioneer deal but this was after the move. On the other hand, there’s nothing in Dallas to benefit from. There’s also more financial companies in Houston than you’d probably think.  JPMorgan Chase for example has one of their main campuses that takes 3 buildings downtown (including the city’s largest tower). Also one of their largest software hubs overall.  And there’s no reason to bring Dallas into everything. What Dallas and Houston are doing growth wise are both independently great. Edited June 15 by Caribomoa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better By chance, does anyone have any photos of this tower when the sign was the American General Corp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
