Houston: No. 2 for Skanska 381,000-SF West Memorial Place II

HOUSTON – West Memorial Place II, the newest addition to the Skanska USA Commercial Development site in the Energy Corridor on Memorial Dr., will include 381,000 sf in 14 stories. It will be the company’s second office building at the 12-acre site next to Terry Hershey Park.

The first building is now 50 percent leased and scheduled for occupancy in first quarter 2015. See previous story, Going up, 50% leased: 330,000-SF West Memorial Place, for more information.

HOK designed the new structure, which is expected to be complete at the end of 2015. It will include an eight-story parking garage.

Both West Memorial Place I and II projects are targeting LEED Platinum certification and will be the first speculative office buildings in the Houston Energy Corridor to achieve this rating.

Plans include a fitness center equipped with lockers and showers and on-site café with outdoor seating and a host of healthy dining options. West Memorial Place I and II will share a driveway and expansive courtyard that is accessible and convenient for tenants occupying each building.
