HOUSTON—Transwestern has negotiated a 189,061-square-foot long-term lease renewal for Bracewell & Giuliani LLP at Pennzoil Place, located at 711 Louisiana St. in Houston.

Transwestern's senior vice president David Lee, senior managing director Doug Little and vice president Ben Quinton brokered the deal on behalf of the building owner, Metropolis Investment Holdings Inc.

"Bracewell & Giuliani was a very attractive candidate as an anchor tenant in a new construction project in the CBD, so their decision to re-commit to Pennzoil Place is an affirmation of the stellar location and major infrastructure investment over the past several years that has made the project one of the most technologically advanced buildings in the country," Lee told GlobeSt.com.

Bracewell & Giuliani, an international law firm with 450 lawyers in Texas, New York, Washington, D.C., Connecticut, Seattle, Dubai and London, serves Fortune 500 companies, major financial institutions, leading private investment funds, governmental entities and individuals concentrated in the energy, technology and financial services sectors worldwide.

"Bracewell & Giuliani has been an outstanding long-term tenant at Pennzoil Place, and we look forward to continuing that relationship for many years," says Tom Dempsey, senior vice president at Metropolis.

Tim Relyea, executive vice president, and Brooke Wommack, associate, of Cushman & Wakefield represented the tenant.
