HOUSTON – PM Realty Group (PMRG), a national, full-service commercial real estate firm, has been selected to provide leasing and property management services for Reliant Energy Plaza, one of the most recently constructed office buildings in downtown Houston.
The 837,000-square-foot, class A+ building is located at 1000 Main St. and was developed in 2003. The Frankfurt-based, German investment company, Kan Am Grund Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH, acquired the building in late 2005 on behalf of the KanAm grundinvest Fonds. Kan Am Grund is advised by WestWind Capital Partners of Atlanta.
"This is a premier project and we are very pleased to add Reliant Energy Plaza to our growing Houston portfolio of over 30 million square feet of property under management," said Wade Bowlin, executive vice president and managing director for PMRG.
Bowlin and John Spafford, senior vice president and director of leasing for PMRG’s Houston division, will handle leasing for the project.
Rick V. Kirk, president and chief executive officer of PMRG said, "PM Realty Group is proud to be associated with one of the most prestigious buildings in the central business district as well as the opportunity to work with WestWind Capital Partners and Kan Am Grund Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH."
Reliant Energy Plaza is currently 94 percent occupied with only a few office spaces and restaurant/retail spaces available. In addition to Reliant Energy, tenants include the law firm Porter & Hedges, Marsh & McLennan, Mercer Human Resources and UBS Securities.
