We are so excited to announce renovation plans for 3 Houston Center, also known as Fulbright Tower. The renovation of 3 Houston Center marks the exciting final phase in the reimagining of the iconic Houston Center campus, which is comprised of LyondellBasell Tower, 2 Houston Center, 3 Houston Center, 4 Houston Center, and The Highlight at Houston Center, formerly The Shops at Houston Center.
Renovations for 3 Houston Center will focus on the property’s main lobby and include improved pedestrian circulation, new floor and wall finishes, energy efficient lighting upgrades, improvements to the existing conferencing facility, and new furniture and art.
Continuing our tradition of expertly blending dynamic indoor and outdoor spaces, another key aspect of the renovation of 3 Houston Center will be the revitalization of the property’s second floor outdoor patio space that is currently inaccessible. Plans call for the creation of improved patio areas where tenants can work, socialize, and relax.
In February 2021, we completed the first phase of the repositioning of Houston Center. Initial renovations focused on a renewed central plaza and greenspace along McKinney Street, including an iconic monumental stair connecting two landscaped terraces, renovations to the 2 Houston Center and LyondellBasell Tower lobbies, a new world-class fitness center, conferencing venues, lobby co-working space, and an outdoor sky deck.
Recently, we also announced plans to renovate and rebrand The Shops at Houston Center. Upgrades to the existing retail center – which will be renamed The Highlight – will create a fresh, modern destination in the heart of downtown Houston, and provide a thoughtful amenity mix for tenants and visitors alike.
Construction on 3 Houston Center is expected to commence in May 2022 and end in early 2023. Global architecture and design firm Gensler will serve as the project architect and construction will be led by Harvey Builders.
