Schneidau tells GlobeSt.com that DeVry Institute of Technology campus is looking for a 2003 completion. Schneidau says DeVry chose Westway Park "because it is the best business park on the Beltway." DeVry wanted Beltway visibility and easy access for students, says Schneidau, and this property is located at the best interchange of Interstate 10 and Texas 290.

The West Houston development is bustling with activity these days. Cooper Cameron is building a 215,000-sf divisional headquarters at the park. Last year' completion, the 130,000-sf Concourse Building, is now 100% occupied. David W. Hightower, Wolff's executive vice president, says the park has only 18 acres remaining.

DeVry, a nationally recognized name in technology education, also owns a campus in Irving, TX. "Because DeVry's degree program offerings are in technology-related fields, we look to located our campuses within high-tech corridors," says Ken Rutkowski, DeVry vice president of facilities and operations.
