Harris County bought 1111 Fannin from Triten recently.  They want to consolidate several properties to this building.  This would be huge for downtown.  The County own a lot of buildings/land that would present great development opportunities for more urban infill on northside of CBD.  Looking forward to more details.

Intriguing. You have to think though that certain offices will want to remain in walking distance from the courthouse, like Family Law, etc. So which offices don't have this requirement? I don't really know enough about the county.

I think I read that the budget office would be moving in to this building.

I am not sure whether or how quickly developers would do anything with the buildings at Caroline and Preston, given that that two short buildings at Caroline and Prairie are just sitting vacant, and the office renovation at 412 Main was unsuccessful. Historic office space just seems to be a failing proposition downtown unless it is a large building like 712 Main or 1001 McKinney that can be brought to Class A-/B+ status. Our office tenants don't do quirky.

On the other hand, the Cotton Exchange building does seem like it would have a bright future without the county, either as residential or hotel. Floor heights will probably determine what that future is, but I'm thinking hotel since there's no balconies.

 I would love for 1001 Preston (County tax office) to come available. Fronts Main Street and is basically a dead zone for that side of Main. 🤞🏼

Are you saying reposition this building or tear it down? It's a pretty nice Mod.

  • The title was changed to Downtown Office Purchased By Harris County - 1111 Fannin St.

Harris County officials on Tuesday took another step to ensure Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s legacy is remembered. The commissioners court unanimously approved a measure to rename a downtown Houston building after the late congresswoman who served her constituents for nearly three decades. 

The county will rename the building at 1111 Fannin Street in honor of Jackson Lee.
