1000 McGowen, Houston, TX

Located in the heart of Houston’s Midtown district, 1000 McGowen is a ±55,000 SF mid-century modern building. This property presents a redevelopment opportunity, combining architectural character with an urban location. The building has been fully gutted and abated, making it ready for adaptive reuse. Its layout and mid-century modern design are suited for repositioning into creative office, hospitality, medical, mixed-use, or institutional use. The property is located directly across Main St. from the new Midtown Park, placing it in the center of Houston’s two largest employment hubs—Downtown and the Texas Medical Center. It is also directly across from the McGowen stop on METRO’s Red Line and adjacent to the new Houston METRO Police Headquarters. Architects and engineers believe the building was designed with the potential to add up to four additional levels. It is the largest Mid-Century Modern building in Houston, located blocks from Rice University’s ION and Innovation District, and surrounded by a high concentration of high-end multifamily units. The site provides access to major freeways including I-59/69, Highway 288, and I-45. Midtown is experiencing investment in multifamily, retail, and infrastructure, enhancing the long-term growth potential of 1000 McGowen.
