Transwestern Provides Office Leasing Services for Class A Four Oaks Place
August 16, 2019
HOUSTON – Transwestern Commercial Services (TCS) today announces ENGIE North America Inc. has leased 109,667 square feet at 1360 Post Oak in Houston for its North American headquarters. TCS Executive Vice Presidents Eric Anderson and David Baker and Senior Vice President Tyler Garrett are providing office leasing services on behalf of the landlord, a joint venture between Nuveen Real Estate and Allianz. JLL’s Bruce Rutherford and Louis Rosenthal provided tenant advisory services for ENGIE North America. Cushman and Wakefield’s Tim Relyea and Morgan Relyea provided tenant representation services for the prior lessee in the giving back of its lease space.
“This was a complex, three-party transaction that resulted in a favorable outcome for all involved,” said Garrett.
Erik Sobek, Senior Director, Southwest Investments, added, “ENGIES’s selection of this project is a testament to the quality and overall tenant amenities of the building.” “We’re thrilled to have them as a long-term tenant and appreciate BHP’s cooperation that enabled us to complete this complex transaction.”
Relocating from 1990 Post Oak, ENGIE North America will occupy floors four through nine beginning December 2019. The energy company provides a range of offers in the United States and Canada, including clean power generation, cogeneration, and energy storage; retail energy sales; and comprehensive services to help customers run their facilities more efficiently and optimize energy and other resource use and expense. Globally, ENGIE is the largest independent power producer and a leading energy efficiency services provider in the world, employing 160,000 people.
“We are extremely pleased ENGIE chose to make a long-term commitment to Four Oaks Place as it is a perfect addition to our impressive tenant mix,” Anderson said. “We believe the extensive tenant amenities make Four Oaks Place a standout option for companies looking to provide their employees with an engaging and productive work environment.”
Four Oaks Place, one of Houston’s premier office projects, is a five-building complex exceeding 2.33 million square feet at the northern end of Post Oak Boulevard in the Galleria area. In 2016, Four Oaks Place underwent an extensive capital upgrade at the complex of approximately $43 million. The property now offers a 12,000-square-foot, fully staffed fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment and group classes, full-service cafeteria, deli serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, fine dining at Post Oak Grill, 59 closed-circuit cameras monitored 24 hours a day by on-site security, multiple points of access to and from the site, and a parking garage for unparalleled access.
