About Downtown Houston

Clearing an office in Downtown Houston

Downtown Houston is the office core inside the loop formed by I-45, I-69/US-59 and I-10, running from Buffalo Bayou and the Theater District south to the convention center and Discovery Green. Energy companies, banks, law firms, accounting firms and utilities occupy its towers along Louisiana, Smith, Main and McKinney streets.

The stock is dominated by large high-rises from the 1970s and 1980s, such as JPMorgan Chase Tower, Wells Fargo Plaza and the Houston Center complex, plus newer towers like 609 Main at Texas. Most towers load through docks reached from below-grade or street-level ramps, connect to the downtown tunnel system and limit freight elevator use to scheduled windows.

Local best practices

Planning a Downtown Houston move-out

What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.

  1. Get a Houston Public Works permit before a truck or dumpster obstructs a public street or sidewalk, and allow up to 10 business days for processing.
  2. Reserve the dock and freight elevator with tower management, since many downtown buildings permit furniture moves only on nights and weekends.
  3. Keep furniture out of the tunnel system and lobbies during business hours, and confirm the approved freight path with security.
  4. Check event calendars for Daikin Park, Toyota Center and George R. Brown Convention Center, when downtown streets and garages fill.
  5. Watch for heavy rain during hurricane season, from June through November, since some downtown docks and garages sit below street level.
