Squarepoint Capital in Houston, TX

Squarepoint Capital is completing a 5,847 sq ft office renovation at 845 Texas Avenue in Houston. The project, registered with TDLR in February 2025, involves a partial floor interior build-out that includes new partitions, conference rooms, a break room, and open workspace areas. This renovation is part of a larger development effort by Block 58 LLC, the owner of record, who has six other TDLR-registered projects in the Texas Tower, totaling $21,500,000.

The estimated cost for this specific unit is $800,000, equating to $137 per square foot. This figure is above the Harris County median of $80 per square foot for similar renovation filings. The scheduled build window is 175 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for this type of work. The project is privately funded on private land for private use.

Gensler is the design firm of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist is Jeromy G Murphy. The project was registered with TDLR in February 2025, with construction scheduled to start in April 2025 and complete in October 2025. TDLR closed the project file in February 2025, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.

The surrounding area includes several hotels and restaurants, such as the Four Seasons Hotel Houston and Flying Saucer Draught Emporium. City of Houston permit records show four building permits on file at this street address, issued between February 2026 and April 2026, including work described as office remodels and high-rise office buildouts.

This renovation at 845 Texas Avenue is one of several projects associated with the firm's Houston operations, reflecting its continued investment in the local market.
