The locally based Toyo USA, an engineering firm, took 7,285 sf and the West African Management Services, a scholarship foundation, leased 2,185 sf in the Diamond Offshore building at 15415 Katy Freeway, a 165,000-sf, class B building making its way back from a 2.5-floor tenant loss in late 2003. The new deals fill half of the sixth floor, leaving about 50,000 sf on the top two floors to be filled, Eric Anderson, senior vice president for Houston-based Transwestern Commercial Services, tells GlobeSt.com. Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. occupies the balance of the eight-story building.
Tenant reps at the bargaining table were Trace Elrod with Jackson & Cooksey Inc. and Jonathan Knickerbocker with Henry S. Miller Commercial, both in the Houston offices for the Dallas-based firms, representing Toyo and West African Management Services, respectively. Anderson says recent renovations to the common areas and an on-site fitness center helped close the deals in a building with a quoted rate of $17.75 per sf.
