MIDLAND, TX-Houston-based Satterfield & Pontikes Construction Inc. is planning to build multiple 100,000-square-foot office buildings in in Westridge Park, a 100+-acre master-planned development situated in Midland’s premier high-growth Western Corridor.  Groundbreaking on the projects have not been announced, but the growing energy sector has fueled demand for new development in this West Texas area.

Westridge Park is at the intersection of SH 191 and Loop 250, and is situated approximately two miles north of Interstate 20. I-20 is the major east-west route through Texas. Furthermore, Midland’s soaring economy has benefited from increased energy production as a result of new drilling technologies in the liquids-rich Permian Basin.
“Business is booming in Midland and we want to be a part of helping build the foundation for their next chapter in the city’s history,” commented George A. Pontikes Jr., President and CEO of S&P in a press release. “The demand for space is up-and-rising and we’re excited to have the opportunity to help provide a community with a second-to-none facility that delivers the resources to meet the area’s current demands.”

Employing a design from Kirksey Architects, S&P’s energy efficient four-story, multi-building development will be located ten minutes from Midland International Airport. The site is minutes from downtown Midland and Odessa and is conveniently located near Midland’s residential neighborhoods, restaurants and hotels. Ron McWherter of CBRE’s Houston office and Bill Scott of Midland Texas Real Estate will handle the leasing effort on behalf of S&P.
