An L-shaped midcentury office building designed by noted architect Philip G. Willard in the Museum District is undergoing renovations as office suites with shared amenities for tenants.

Turns out, people like reducing their commute time and working in a walkable area with wine bars and coffee shops. So, anticipating higher demand for its flexible office spaces in such preferred locations, the real estate development company Braun Enterprises is doubling the size of its Urban Office branch in Spring Branch.

From one generation to another, learning by example has been the credo of Braun Enterprises. That’s the benefit Dan Braun received when, in his mid-20s in 2003, he joined his father, Gabriel “Gaby” Braun, z”l, in managing and leasing the industrial portfolio of the family’s Houston-based commercial real estate company.

Companies are doing a major rethink post-pandemic about their office spaces. It's no longer an option to offer employees a sub-par work space, and those signing the lease aren't willing to overpay for less-than-impressive amenities.

The opportunity to reimagine the future of work has never been stronger, leading real estate services firm JLL said in a recent report. "Work from anywhere is the only path forward," it said. Well, if you can work from anywhere, how about working from the “Heart of Houston” - the Spring Branch Management District?
