The construction company, which was represented by Ron McWherter of CB Richard Ellis Group Co.'s Houston office, will build the third "green" building in the master-planned office park at the intersection of San Houston Tollway and Clay Road, according to David Hightower, executive vice president of Houston-based Wolff Cos., which intially sold the land to Invensys. Dan Boyles and Griff Bandy of NAI Houston reprented Invensys in the Satterfield transaction.

Hightower tells GlobeSt.com that 75% of the park is sold with the hand-off to Satterfield--and there are more deals in the works. "Since fall 2005, the buildings completed or with construction announced are half a million sf," he adds.

According to Hightower, Satterfield & Pontikes' owners have not scheduled a construction start for the project. The company now offices at 6617 Flintlock Rd., but also has offices in Dallas and San Antonio and Luling, LA.

The general contractor, which specializes in projects up to $50 million, will be joining a park roster with "green" building owners like Dallas-based Koll Development Co., which tapped Westway for the first Intellicenter building in Greater Houston. The specially designed office building, with a $20-million construction tab, is 158,000 sf of spec office space that will be LEED-certified when it's done. The park's other "green" structure, which is about halfway completed, is a 22,000-sf, $3-million headquarters building for MedLeh Group.

The LEED-certified buildings meet stringent energy standards set forth by the US Green Building Council. To qualify for certification, designs must be "environmentally responsible" and focus on sustainability and energy savings.
