Avison Young’s Houston agency leasing team negotiated a long-term lease on behalf of Freeway Properties, management for Katy Ranch Offices. Hoover Ferguson will take 16,603 square feet of class A office space in the newly developed Katy Ranch Office Phase 2, 24285 Katy Freeway in Katy, Texas. A container and chemical tank supplier, Hoover Ferguson will be relocating their corporate headquarters to the property from their current location at 2135 Highway 6 S in Houston. Approximately 60 employees will be moving to the new corporate headquarters in December 2020. “We think Hoover will make a great addition to our mixed-use development,” said Mike Baker, president, Freeway Properties. “Our adjoining retail tenants, which offer a wide variety of restaurants, shopping experiences and entertainment venues all welcome Hoover.” Avison Young principals, Sam Hansen and Doug Pack, who are based in the company’s Houston office represented the landlord, Freeway Properties. “In these unprecedented times, Avison Young has provided great flexibility and transparency that allowed us to upgrade our corporate headquarters and accomplish all of our objectives in relocating to a more professional space at Katy Ranch Phase 2,” said Matt Schmidt, chief human resources officer, Hoover Ferguson. “Sam and Doug have been a pleasure to work with throughout the process of identifying our new office space.” The construction of Katy Ranch Office Phase 2, sister building to 24275 Katy Freeway, was completed in July 2020. The building features corporate training and classroom facilities, multiple conference rooms, catering areas and features a sky-bridge connection to the expanded parking garage.
