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. Today, considerable value creation is achievable through rolling current in-place rents to market and through the lease up of the remaining 226,561 square feet of vacant space. 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. Esperson offers investors prestige, history, quality, abundant amenities, and a prime location in Houston’s largest employment center. INVESTMENT SALES H.

    Quarterly Market Overview For more information, please contact: David Mendel, Public Relations Manager 2017 Third Quarter Phone: 713.629.1900 ext. 258 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE E‐mail: [email protected] HOUSTON’S OFFICE MARKET RECOVERY SLOW, INDUSTRIAL DEMAND REMAINS HIGH HOUSTON — (October 18, 2017) — Houston’s commercial real estate market is optimistic after grappling with Hurricane Harvey amid the continued energy recovery, according to quarterly market research compiled by Commercial Gateway, the commercial division of the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR). For office space, direct negative net absorption of 39,995 square feet was recorded; Class A and C showed positive absorption of 246,119 square feet and 18,230 square feet, respectively, while Class B reported negative absorption of 304,344 square feet. Move-ins at 609 Main including four different firms who preleased space in the new building accounted for almost 263,000 square feet of the Class A positive absorption. Year-to-date overall totals are positive for the year primarily due to the first quarter occupancy of 600,000 square feet by BHP Billiton in its new headquarters building, although the firm is leaving behind more than 320,000 square feet that is currently on the sublease market. Space left behind by various firms occupying new properties along with sublease spaces converting to direct space will continue to affect the vacancy rate. The current 16.7% direct vacancy rate is unchanged from last quarter, but up from the 15.5% recorded during the same quarter in 2016. Class A space overall is 16.0% vacant, Class B is 19.1% vacant and Class C is 11.4% vacant.

  • Protected Landmark Designation Report
    CITY OF HOUSTON Archaeological & Historical Commission Planning and Development Department PROTECTED LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT LANDMARK NAME: The Angelo and Lillian Minella House AGENDA ITEM: IV OWNER: Ben Koush HPO FILE NO.: 06PL20 APPLICANT: Ben Koush DATE ACCEPTED: Feb-13-06 LOCATION: 6328 Brookside Drive – Simms Woods Addition HAHC HEARING DATE: Feb-23-06 30-DAY HEARING NOTICE: N/A PC HEARING: Mar-02-06 SITE INFORMATION Lot 12, Block 6, Simms Woods Addition, City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. The site includes a historic one-story, concrete block residence and concrete block garage. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Protected Landmark Designation for residence and garage. HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Minella House is a significant example of modern, residential architecture as it evolved in mid- twentieth century Houston. It is significant because of its unusual all masonry construction, contemporary design by Houston architect, Allen R. Williams, Jr. It is an example of the Century Built Homes, variations on a standark design, of which the Minella House seemed to be most fully resolved. Its owners, Angelo and Lillian Minella, owned and operated a plumbing supply company in the East End for decades. HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE Lillian and Angelo Minella were originally from the Boston area. Minella worked as a plumber at 366-374 Washington Street in the 1930s in the Brighton Center, Massachusetts commercial area, which had a large Italian-American population.i As late as 1942 Angelo and Lillian were listed in the Essex County City Directory as living on Stanwood Avenue in Gloucester, Massachusetts.ii The Minellas probably left for Texas shortly thereafter.

Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate Collegec 1251246 ii PREFACE This is a content analysis of the front page news content of the Houston Post and the Houston Chronicle before and after the Post was bought by Toronto Sun Publishing Co. The study sought to determine if the change in ownership of the Post affected the newspaper's content, and if the news content of the Chronicle also had been affected, producing competition between two traditionally noncompetitive newspapers. Many persons made significant contributions to this paper. I would like to express special thanks to my thesis adviser, Dr. Walter J. Ward, director of graduate studies in mass communication at Oklahoma State_ University. I also express my appreciation to the other members of the thesis committee: Dr. Wi~liam R.
