Air Liquide, the Paris-based world leader in gases, technologies and services for Industry and Health, announced this week that it will be moving its U.S. headquarters from the Houston Galleria area to the new Air Liquide Center in Memorial City in Houston, Texas. The new headquarters will break ground this month with an expected delivery by November 2015, when Air Liquide will expand its space to accommodate the company's growing workforce.
"This move marks an exciting new chapter in Air Liquide's history as our business continues to rapidly grow and evolve," said Michael Graff, Chairman & CEO, American Air Liquide Holdings, Inc. and Air Liquide Senior Vice President for the Americas. "We are investing in our future, ensuring the right environment, space and resources to support our talented workforce and continue to enable the highest level of innovation and service for our customers."
Designed by Morris Architects, the new Air Liquide Center will consist of a 20-story, 452,000 square-foot tower and an adjacent 145,000 square-foot building, located at 9811 and 9807 Katy Freeway. Air Liquide's administrative and industrial operations will initially occupy the upper six floors of the 20-story tower in addition to the first floor lobby and office space, totaling 155,000 square feet, with options to expand floor space. Its Engineering & Construction operations will occupy two floors of the second building, totaling 67,000 square feet. Memorial City is a premier mixed-use development owned and managed by MetroNational.
"With the announcement of Air Liquide, four major publicly traded companies have made the decision to relocate to Memorial City in the last 24 months, filling 750,000 total square feet of office space," said Randy Nerren, Executive Vice President at MetroNational. "We are delighted that Air Liquide has joined the growing roster of international companies that realize all that Memorial City has to offer."
