Acreage

2.88 acres

Building Size

1,314,350 SF

The former ExxonMobil Building at 800 Bell Street presents a rare opportunity to reposition a 46-story downtown Houston landmark into a mission-critical infrastructure facility. Completed in 1963 and designed by Lloyd Jones Brewer and Associates, this 1,314,350-square-foot Class B tower spans two city blocks and features robust modernist architecture with distinctive X-bracing. The property includes 30 passenger elevators, four freight elevators, and a six-story parking garage with 2.88 acres of total site area and integrated tunnel system access throughout downtown Houston's central business district. Floor plates average 29,068 square feet with flexible layouts suitable for data hall conversion or hybrid use scenarios. The building's scale, structural resilience, and prime CBD location offer significant advantages for hyperscale or colocation operators seeking urban proximity with substantial contiguous space. Existing infrastructure includes conference facilities, cafeteria space, retail areas, and underground parking with direct building access. The property's footprint and vertical capacity position it as a compelling candidate for adaptive reuse into telecom, data center, or hybrid corporate-infrastructure applications in one of the nation's most connected energy and technology markets.
