We are poised to unleash an unusually powerful focus and intensity on this project designed to generate exceptional project performance and ultimately, superior returns to Invesco. In the following written response, our team focuses on the underlying question - Why Transwestern? And, throughout our proposal, we will highlight several salient themes focused on creating value and enhancing the image of this iconic asset. Large Project Sponsorship is our Heritage Our reputation was built on the successful sponsorship of large scale, marquee office projects such as Post Oak Central, Allen Center and Four Oaks Place in Houston. We invite comparison with any other firm on this point and we are prepared to highlight our success through compelling case studies where we can demonstrate the value we have created in partnership with owners like Invesco. Reporting Excellence Leasing and operational excellence drive value, but we also win business through reporting excellence. We are proud to deliver tailored reporting to our clients, and our accounting and IT support teams differentiate us in the marketplace. Our accounting and property management teams are well-versed in Invesco’s Yardi Voyager system and will be ready to hit the ground running on this assignment. Ownership Mentality The Transwestern Team works synergistically to create value through a focused, creative leasing strategy and best in class operational excellence. We call on the full resources of the firm to deliver exceptional results for our clients and our team is empowered to think and act like owners. In fact, we are “hard wired” with a mentality towards long term value creation and that mandate governs our daily stewardship of your world class property.

All of us are fully aligned and committed to delivering the vast resources and unequaled personal and corporate relationships of Transwestern to the successful leasing and management of 1000 Main. Our relationship with and our word to Invesco have and will continue to stand the test of time.

Usually, relationships have existed longer, the root system is deeper, market knowledge is more comprehensive and success stories are greater in number. There is simply no commercial real estate services firm more qualified to do this particular job in this particular city than Transwestern. Your level of attention to this process focuses the discussion in a manner that highlights the best of Transwestern - our people, our integrity, our expertise and the depth of our commitment. We look forward to our verbal presentation. We are ready to go to work.

    712 & 708 MAIN STREET, HOUSTON 712 & 708 MAIN STREET, HOUSTON KEEP UP WITH THE JONES Introducing The Jones on Main, a storied Houston workspace that marries classic glamour with state-of-the-art style. This dapper icon sets the bar high, with historic character – like classic frescoes and intricate masonry – elevated by contemporary co-working space, hospitality-inspired lounges and a restaurant-lined lobby. Highly accessible and high-energy, The Jones on Main is a stylishly appointed go-getter with charisma that always shines through. This is the place in Houston to meet, mingle, and make modern history – everyone wants to keep up with The Jones. Opposite Image : The Jones on Main, Evening View 3 A Historically Hip Houston Landmark A MODERN MASTERPIECE THE JONES circa 1945 WITH A TIMELESS PERSPECTIVE The Jones on Main’s origins date back to 1927, when 712 Main Street was commissioned by legendary Jesse H. Jones – Houston’s business and philanthropic icon – as the Gulf Oil headquarters. The 37-story masterpiece is widely acclaimed, a City of Houston Landmark recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Together with 708 Main Street – acquired by Jones in 1908 – the property comprises an entire city block in Downtown Houston. Distinct and vibrant, The Jones touts a rich history, Art Deco architecture, and famous frescoes – soon to be complemented by a suite of one-of-a-kind, hospitality- inspired amenity spaces. Designed for collaboration and social interaction, these historically hip spaces connect to a range of curated first floor retail offerings, replete with brand new storefronts and activated streetscapes.

Finally BCBS Health Advocacy Solutions features 24/7 access to an RN, Pharmacist or Social Worker by calling 1-866-882-2034. There was a question about if HEB can deliver 90 days drugs for retirees other than Express Script or Walgreens and the answer is yes. My wife and I have gotten our drugs from our neighborhood HEB for some time now. I want to give a special “shout-out” to Charlie Figari who “compted” the parking fees for the attendees. NO PREMIUM INCREASE FOR PLAN YEAR 2021-2022 The 2021 Annual Retiree Benefits meeting was held on July 15. It was an interesting affair - a hybrid meet com- bining "in-person" attendance by UTHealth retirees and the virtual attendance by Zoom with the representatives of BCBS and Express Script. The immediate take away - no significant changes in coverage or contributions so if you don't make any changes the coverage will continue through 2021/22. Attendance in person was primarily by about 20 UTHRO members as they were the only ones notified of the where and when (UCT room 1505 from 10- 12). The Benefits team had put a lot of thought into mak- ing this meeting a fun and informative one with prizes and food. Several UTHRO members also attended via Zoom and every attendee (either in person or virtual) could ask the Reps questions. Most people complained about the fact that Austin had not yet (as of today July 22) send the Benefits package which was originally promised to arrive on July 7.

    Patrick M. Brown International SAWE President Cessna Aircraft Company th I am pleased to invite you to attend the 70 Annual International Conference of the Society of Allied Weight Engineers, Inc. in Houston, Texas. This year our conference is hosted by the Houston Chapter. This will mark the Chapter’s first time for hosting an International Conference. Personally, it is very exciting to participate in a first time event. Founded in 1836 and named after General Sam Houston, the city’s economy is based on energy, manufacturing, aerospace, transportation, and health care. In fact, Houston has the largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions in the world and is known as the energy capital of the world. Houston is also home to NASA’s Johnson Space Center where the famous Mission Control Center resides. The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage. Houston is the largest city in Texas and the 6th largest city in the United States. With its rich history and global presence, Houston represents not only an outstanding growth opportunity for our Society but also an ideal location for our International Conference. The host hotel is the Hilton Houston Westchase. Located on the outer loop highway on the southwest side of the city, the hotel is well situated for access from all major thoroughfares and airports. The Westchase has all the amenities that one would expect from a Hilton Hotel. With 295 guest rooms and 13,000 square feet of ballroom and meeting space, the hotel is perfectly sized for our conference.
