Broadview Real Estate has announced plans for O27, a 32-story office tower spanning 520,000 square feet at 4701 Westheimer Road. The development will replace an existing extended-stay hotel on the 2-acre site.
Why it matters
Broadview identified a specific gap in the Houston market for high-quality office space. The project reflects continued interest in commercial growth within the Inner Loop area near the Galleria.
The O27 development is slated for a 2-acre site and will include a nine-story parking deck alongside a landscaped terrace. STG Design created the building shape, while Design Alt + Tab handled the lobby and motor court.
