Water utility company flows into former Minute Maid offices

​SUGAR LAND – SouthWest Water is moving from the Sugar Land Business Park into Minute Maid’s former offices after securing $1 million in economic incentives to stay in the Houston suburb. 

The utility company signed a 15-year lease for 41,114 sf at Sugar Land Town Square at 2150 Town Square Place. Minute Maid left the eight-story office building in 2021 after more than 50 years in the Houston area.

Planned Community Developers represented the landlord, Lionstone Investments, in lease negotiations.

SouthWest Water plans to hire 20 additional employees, expanding its employee count to 100 people whose average annual salary is more than $78,000, according to the city’s economic council. 

The company has been in Sugar Land since 1985.
