West Houston along I-10 (Energy Corridor) and Westchase are booming. In addition to the 4 buildings I listed above, the Chronicle mentioned that Mac Haik Development, Morris Architects, and EE Reed Construction were ready to break ground on 3 new towers in the Energy Plaza Office Park.

Energy Tower I, a 14 story office tower is already on the site (not to be confused with the Energy Center I and II which are under construction right down the road).

Set to break ground in Feb 2008 are the following;

Energy Towers II and III-

Both office towers will stand 17 stories tall and contain 447,000 square feet. They'll stand on the Northwest corner of Kirkwood and I-10. Opening is set for Sept 2009. Technip USA (a French company) signed a 370,400 foot lease for Tower II.

Joining the office towers will be a 14 story full-service hotel. The hotel will have 216 rooms and should break ground next April.
