Houston-based real estate firm D'Agostino Companies announced Jan. 27 a proposed four-story, 113,000-square-foot office property to be constructed at the corner of Sam Houston Park Drive and Houston Oaks Drive within Houston's West Belt submarket.

The project, which will be called the Offices at Sam Houston, will not officially break ground until the property is 25 percent leased, according to officials with CBRE Group, the firm that will represent the owner in the leasing efforts. CBRE's Kristen Rabel said interest in the project is already surfacing.

"We are confident [the project] will quickly attract tenants looking for great visibility and a minimal commute for their employees," she said. "Not surprisingly, several large tenants have already expressed interest, and I expect that we will see it lease up to at least one or two of them."

The project, located along Beltway 8 between Hwys. 249 and 290, will sit on 4.3 acres of land and will feature 28,000-square-foot floor plans.

The Offices at Sam Houston will be D'Agostino Companies' second commercial real estate development project in the Houston area. The company has developed and currently owns more than 25 projects in the area.

"D'Agostino Companies is excited about this project due to the demand for office space in this area, the property's strategic location and the fact that very few developable land sites are available in this market," chief operating officer Bryan D'Agostino said in a statement.

Houston-based Metzger Construction Company was awarded the general contract to construct the building. Houston-based Browne McGregor Architects has been hired as the architect.
