Très bon! French utility company moving Houston headquarters

​​​​​​​HOUSTON – Engie North America, the local arm of French utility company Engie, is moving its headquarters within the Galleria/Uptown area.

The company will move into 109,667 sf in the Four Oaks Place office complex at 1360 Post Oak Blvd. in December. It will occupy floors four through nine of the building, which used to be BHP Billiton’s local headquarters.

Although BHP put most of its space up for sublease i​n 2017, the deal was not a sublease. BHP surrendered the space so Engie could lease it directly from the landlord.

JLL represented Engie, and Cushman and Wakefield​ represented BHP. Transwestern represented the landlord, a joint venture between Nuveen Real Estate and Allianz. 

Currently, Engie occupies 134,000 sf in the Post Oak Central office complex at 1990 Post Oak Blvd. ​
