1550 on the Green Office to Focus on Wellness

JLL has been selected by Skanska USA Commercial Development for property management services at 1550 on the Green, a 375,000-square-foot development adjacent to Discovery Green in downtown Houston. The 28-story class-A office project is the first phase of Discovery West, a mixed-use development that will include restaurants and retail.

This planned development is within walking distance of numerous entertainment and cultural amenities, including Minute Maid Park, the Toyota Center and the George R. Brown Convention Center. Proposed features include multiple outdoor terraces with virtual and in-person experiences such as yoga and wellness classes.

A global law firm is among the first tenants to sign a lease at the building, set to break ground in 2021 with a delivery date of 2024.

JLL’s property management efforts will be led by managing director Connie O’Murray, in partnership with a team comprising key members from JLL property management, project development services, sustainability, experience management and JLL Spark platforms.
