    Companies in Houston have the option of moving to Greenway, Galleria, Westchase, the Energy Corridor, etc etc. Not sure if other cities offer those kind of options.

    Looks awesome, I've always been into towers/architecture. In fact, I'm a member of architecture forums under the same name. (cool story bro)

    british gas is about to take the midrise section. approx 300k sf.

    KPMG took four floors early on in pre-leasing.

    I'd look for mainly energy related cos. to take the remainder.

    wonder how the garden is going to do in a hurricane...

    cool looking bldg though. Houstons skyline is highly underrated. never understood why people think dallas' is better.
    Austins is coming along but Houston is the best in Texas by far imo

    devon occupies the majority of Two Allen and a portion of Three Allen. you may be thinking of Hess who occupies a large portion of One Allen but will be moving into the Hess (formerly Discovery) Tower by Discover Green.

    Yep. Just got back from nyc..

    Their skyline is a monsta. It was my first trip there in a while. I forgot how ridiculous it is up there.

    Hmm, Midway Airport is slightly closer to downtown Chicago than Hobby Airport is to downtown Houston.

    Looks really nice. I've always felt like the only thing that is keeping Houston's skyline from being amongst the more famous ones is a body of water.

    Go apply at those energy companies and you can work in the building you've been watching go up.
