The Field, in what has previously been known as the Bank of America building in Tomball, now has a completely renovated second floor for flexible coworking offices at 1431 Graham Drive, Tomball.

Developer Peter Licata said he and his father, Mark Licata, and his sister, Devin Licata, wanted to transform an office building focusing on the community aspect, especially since it would be an open, co-working space.

The Licatas wanted a building that not only would lend itself to being a tight-knit community inside, but also be located within a tight-knit community. He said a handful of Tomball business owners recommended Tomball as a good location.

“For us, [Tomball] fit the overall community outside of our building; it fit the tight-knit, very prideful in our community [feeling],” he said.

However, Peter Licata said the partners have seen office spaces take different forms after COVID-19. The Licatas also have another coworking space in Houston, Headquarters, that was in place before the pandemic.

In Tomball, the second-floor renovation started in October and finished at the beginning of April, he said. They have leased to nine tenants as of early May.

Licata said they are trying to create spaces for new or small businesses and provide an all-in-one space that is affordable; a one-person office is $450 monthly.

“We try to make the process as simple as we can ... so you can really focus on what you do best, which is your business,” Licata said.

The office area has 30 spaces with suites available for anywhere from one to 16 persons, Licata said. There are also four conference rooms, a common-area kitchen and a mother’s room, according to a March 31 update from the Tomball Economic Development Corp.

Licata said they renovated the first floor, which contains the Bank of America, State Farm and an accounting group. First-floor renovations included the bathrooms, the elevator, staircase and flooring.

The Licatas also purchased the land adjacent to the building to build a mixed-use retail center anchored by a restaurant along with parking, Licata said. He said that project is estimated to break ground in late summer and open to tenants by the end of 2022.
