FOGLER BRAR ONEIL GRAY EXPANSION in Houston, TX

The 2 Houston Center project at 909 Fannin Street, Suite 1640, is a completed interior buildout within the Houston Central Business District. This addition to an existing high-rise office tower covered 1,183 square feet of space. The work was filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as the Fogler Brar Oneil Gray Expansion, indicating the specific tenant or business involved in the second-generation interior renovation.

Brookfield Properties served as the owner of record for this privately funded project. Tramonte Design Studio was the design firm of record, overseeing the layout and accessibility compliance for the suite. The estimated cost for the construction was $250,000, which translates to a cost of $211 per square foot. This figure sits above the Harris County median of $100 per square foot for similar additions to existing buildings, reflecting the premium often associated with high-rise office finishes in the downtown core.

The construction timeline was efficient, with a scheduled build window of 70 days. This duration is shorter than the Harris County median of 182 days for comparable projects. Work began in February 2023, and the filing indicated a completion date of May 2023. The TDLR record shows that the agency closed the project file in May 2023, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.

The site is located in ZIP code 77006, an area with a population of about 23,927 according to U.S. Census estimates. The median household income in this area is $102,003, and the median owner-occupied home value is $599,500. The neighborhood is predominantly renter-occupied, consistent with the high density of office and residential towers in the Central Business District.

Brookfield Properties has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $2,415,000, including work at Stonebriar Centre in Frisco and the Toyota Music Factory in Irving. Tramonte Design Studio has completed five other large-scale projects in Houston, such as the Luce Office and 8020 Katy Freeway, with a combined value of $21,200,000. Nearby businesses include the Four Seasons Hotel Houston and the JW Marriott Houston Downtown. City of Houston permit records show 10 permits on file at this street address, issued between February 2026 and May 2026, including various office remodels and corridor renovations.
