Constructed in 1927 and 1941 respectively, Esperson is the only iconic structure of Italian Renaissance in Houston’s most densified employment center. The property is currently 62% leased with 4 years remaining average lease term and is situated on 1.447 acres, a full city block. Located at the intersection of Rusk and Walker Street, Esperson has direct access to Houston’s METRO Rail and 7.5 mile underground tunnel system. Over the last 36 months, ownership invested nearly $9 million in non-leasing capital, positioning the asset at the top of its competitive set.

Redeveloping and expanding Houston’s CBD infrastructure – realized through rebuilt streets – highways, new mass transit and enhanced public utilities coupled with new office, multi-family, and retail projects have transformed Houston’s core into a vibrant, modern 24/7 environment for people to live, work and play.
