<h2>Greenway Plaza History</h2>
Century Development Corporation chairperson Kenneth L. Schnitzer, a visionary Texas real estate developer, came up with the idea for Houston’s first mixed-use development: Greenway Plaza. He wanted it to be like a second Downtown Houston. Century Development Corporate sold pieces of land in the Greenway Plaza area for great prices to realtors from the Houston area. That was the beginning of what would become an impressive office tower location housing more than 10 million square feet of commercial space.
One Greenway Plaza, one Greenway Plaza’s office buildings, opened in 1969, though Greenway Plaza’s official grand opening didn’t take place until 1973. Most of the story from this point onward involves tenants’ decisions to move to Greenway Plaza, expand, and stay. For example, an early influential tenant was the M. W. Kellogg company, which later acquired Dresser Industries and merged with Brown &amp; Root to form Kellogg Brown &amp; Root, or KBR. This American engineering, procurement, and construction company moved its headquarters from New York to Houston in 1970. At first, it only took up half of 3 Greenway Plaza, but eventually, it began renting space in a second building as well. When Dress Industries took over part of the lease in 1991, its thought leaders renamed the building Dresser Tower, which it is still called today.
A notable building in of Greenway Plaza is that of non-denominational Christian church Lakewood Church, which has one of the highest church attendances in the country. Since 2005, the church’s main campus has been in the former home of the professional basketball team the Houston Rockets. Televangelist Joel Osteen is the senior pastor of Lakewood Church, and his sermons have been broadcast worldwide. The Houston Chronicle’s Nancy Sarnoff <a href="https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Greenway-Plaza-sees-upgrades-essential-in-11141684.php?t=c076b59fd6" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">noted</a> that when the Houston Rockets moved out of that building, Greenway Plaza became “sleepy” because of the subsequent lack of evening activity and “feels like downtown Houston did 10 or 20 years ago.”
Greenway Plaza ownership has changed several times over the years. In 2013, <a href="https://squarefoot.com/ga/atlanta/office-space" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta</a>-based Cousins Properties bought Greenway Plaza complex along with an office tower in <a href="https://www.squarefoot.com/tx/fort-worth/office-space">Downtown Fort Worth</a>. It cost around $1.1 billion. Parkway Inc. purchased Greenway Plaza in 2017 and began renovating it.
