Anadarko Petroleum Corporation announced on Feb. 1 what has been rumored since the fall: the construction of a second high-rise office building in The Woodlands.
The 31-story building will be constructed at the corner of Woodloch Forest Drive and Lake Robbins Drive and will include 549,260 square feet. By comparison, the existing Anadarko building on Lake Robbins Drive has 817,977 square feet.
During a Feb. 1 dedication ceremony, Vice President and Chief Information Office Mario Coll said the first 10 floors of the building will be a parking garage and the upper 21 floors will be office space, conference rooms and project floors.
He said the new facility will house 1,700 employees, many of whom will be relocated from other buildings in The Woodlands such as the Woodforest Bank building on Lake Robbins, as well as new jobs. The new building and the current facility will be connected by an air-conditioned passageway.
