Last May, Brookfield Properties announced the multi-million dollar reimagining of Allen Center, a renovation project starting with the creation of a two-story glass façade facing Smith and Dallas streets; a signature chef-driven restaurant; a one-acre greenspace; and an upgraded sky bridge connecting One and Two Allen Center. The Allen Center renovation is just one of the many ways that Brookfield is cementing its standing as a leader in the downtown community for creating extraordinary, multi-use spaces for its tenants.
Recently, leading refiner and distributor Motiva Enterprises transitioned to a stand-alone operation and renewed its lease at One Allen Center to occupy more than 204,500 square feet within the building, a more than 15 percent increase over its existing space. Brookfield worked with Motiva to deliver new signature features to the space, including a lobby reception center, a conference center floor, and a private green roof terrace overlooking the new greenspace being created at Allen Center. Motiva’s decision to not only renew their lease, but to expand their space in One Allen Center, speaks to many leading companies’ desire to locate to a premier mixed-use development downtown like that of Allen Center.
For Brookfield, the Allen Center redevelopment was a means of creating a unique and dynamic space for the next generation of downtown employees. For us, this is only the beginning. We look forward to welcoming more companies like Motiva and to continue to work to make Allen Center a vibrant destination for all.
