King Owl Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 That one is the real deal. Chevron will be the next out of the ground with a new "signature" office tower.Would this be the 5 Allen Center proposal that's floated around for a few years?http://swamplot.com/beyond-the-shroud-new-images-of-five-allen-center/2009-01-20/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoothrewpoo Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Sweet, we appreciate the info. Mind if I ask who your sources are, generally speaking? Architect, Chevron employee etc?Generall speaking, Chevron issued an RFP for Architectural services (which have been awarded), and MEP (which have been awarded).Would this be the 5 Allen Center proposal that's floated around for a few years?http://swamplot.com/...ter/2009-01-20/ The new building will be in the CBD, replacing an existing building. None of the documentation I've seen refers to it as Allen Center... the proposed location is several blocks from any of the existing Allen Center buildings.

Houston19514 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) If Chevron were to build a new building in downtown Houston, it seems pretty likely it would be on the former site of the YMCA. The only other seemingly likely location would be the site of the daycare building. (I think Chevron bought the Enron Daycare property, correct?)

That would sort of constitute replacing an existing building (even though its now demolished). From a location standpoint, that site for Chevron makes the most sense since its located next to Chevron's spaces in 1400 Smith & 1500 Louisiana (former Enron Center North & South) Edited January 15, 2013 by tigereye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I wonder if Chevron and Shell are finding that being downtown is making recruiting the best and brightest young talent a little bit easier? The oil and gas workforce is aging. Professional recruiters are literally fighting to place people in jobs. All things considered, if you were in your 20s, would you rather work downtown or out in The Woodlands or Energy Corridor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're moving some people here, yes, but there hasn't been any talk internally, at least that I've gotten wind of (my dad is a Chevron exec based in Asia who keeps me up to date on these things) of any plans to expand their holdings here.

Golyadkin Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 They are moving 800 people here from California over the next two years.I know, hence the "they are moving people here, yes" in my comment. I was saying that 800 people over two years is not enough to necessitate a new tower, and there's no talking going on internally that I'm aware of that indicates that they will be moving any more people any time soon.

Strictly rumor mill on my part, I have no numbers to back it up...but maybe you are party right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
