Sometimes the market decides the next deal you do.
And that was certainly the case with developer Harwood International’s planned Uptown office tower for Frost Bank.
Harwood had been working on a much larger office project to be built across the street from the Frost Tower site.
“Then suddenly we get a new opportunity on a block that is not one that we previously planned,” said Gabriel Barbier-Mueller, founder and CEO, Harwood International. “We had been working on a large building the size of our new Saint Ann Court and were talking with tenants to lease that building.”
Harwood was quick to jump on the Frost Bank project and came up with a smaller building that met the banks needs while adding to its overall Uptown development.
“This will be our building number seven,” Barbier said. “We have 10 more to go.”
