Spec Suite 150 in The Woodlands, TX

Spec Suite 150 at 2700 Technology Forest in The Woodlands is a 1,594-square-foot interior renovation that has concluded its construction phase. The project, filed under the facility name 2700 Technology Forest, involved the alteration of an existing suite within this Montgomery County office building.
