HOUSTON – Stewart Information Services Corp., the parent company of Stewart Title, signed a 230,000-sf lease extension for its headquarters offices at the Post Oak Central office complex on Post Oak Blvd., north of Westheimer Rd. and west of Loop 610 near the Galleria.

Atlanta-based Cousins Properties, owner of Post Oak Central, announced the lease extension.
