New Office Tower for Houston Skyline

BBVA Compass, a subsidiary of Compass Bancshares, Inc., announced this month that a new corporate office building is scheduled to break ground in May where the company will occupy roughly 150,000 square feet of space in a new 380,000 square foot Houston building. Redstone Companies, in a joint venture with Stream Realty Partners, is developing the new 22 story tower at 2200 Post Oak Blvd. according to a Houston Business Journal article. Manhattan Construction Co. is the overall general contractor for the project, HKS Inc. is the architect, Haynes Whaley Associates Inc. is the structural engineer and HOK will serve as the landscape architect.

"Combining our corporate offices into centralized locations in key markets such as Houston, Dallas and Birmingham is a natural evolution in the integration of our U.S. banking franchise," said Manolo Sanchez, BBVA U.S. Country Manager and President and CEO of BBVA Compass. "In addition to the eco-friendly design and state-of-the-art technology of the new building, bringing together our employees into a single location will foster a more open communication channel and sharing of ideas amongst our team."
