In October, Whitney National Bank starts a phased-in move to 23,970 sf at 4265 San Felipe Rd. with a long-term signing that includes naming rights to replace Chase Bank, Steve Rocher with the Houston office of Grubb & Ellis tells GlobeSt.com. Chase Bank recently exited the 207,378-sf building.

The New Orleans-based Whitney National Bank, signing for retail and office space, was represented by Rob Neblett with Houston-headquartered Transwestern Commercial Services. Michael Pou, Whitney bank's director of corporate real estate, says the first space to be filled will be 4,500 sf set aside for a lobby branch. The next move will shift Houston executives from Continental Tower in the CBD. The San Felipe building, now 94% leased, was picked for a strategic location and "compatible landlord," Pou says.

Dallas-based Texas Capital Bank, also taking retail and office space, settled on One Riverway, a 484,222-sf building owned by Hartford, CT-based Cigna. The long-term deal encompasses about 11,000 sf lease, according to a bank spokeswoman. The move, set for September, will put executive offices on the 24th floor and a branch in the lobby.

Dallas-based Staubach Co.'s Houston team of Lucian Vukowski and Mike Boehler brokered the terms for Texas Capital Bank while Eric Johnson of Houston-headquartered Transwestern Commercial Services handled talks for Cigna. Basic Builders of Houston is working on the finish-out.
