KBS has signed a new 42,290-square-foot lease agreement with SPB Hospitality, a national leading operator and franchisor of full-service dining restaurants, at The Offices at Greenhouse, a five-story, 203,284-square-foot office property in the Energy Corridor of West Houston, Texas. The Offices at Greenhouse is owned by KBS Growth & Income Real Estate Investment Trust.

“Houston remains an attractive market for corporate headquarter locations and other significant employment hubs, and not only in the energy space as the region gained two new Fortune 500 companies in the last year for a total of 24, making it the third largest concentration in the nation,” says KBS Western Regional President Gio Cordoves.

SPB Hospitality, which operates, and franchises steakhouses, brewery and craft-beer focused casual dining restaurants nationwide, will occupy space on the fifth floor of The Offices at Greenhouse and utilize it as its new headquarters. The move demonstrates companies’ desire to return to the workplace after nearly two years of remote work.

The transaction is an example of how companies are increasingly bringing back their employees for in-person collaboration as office owners across the country implement effective safety measures to protect tenants’ health and wellbeing.

Built in 2014, The Offices at Greenhouse offers tenants several additional amenities that can contribute to health and wellness, such as natural lighting, a landscaped exterior tenant courtyard and a large conference center. The asset houses a walkway-connected four-level structured parking garage and provides access to major highways and intersections.

The Offices at Greenhouse is located near daycare centers, a fitness center, and a variety of food and beverage options, including Chick-fil-A, Corner Bakery, Wingstop and Starbucks. It is also in close proximity to medical facilities and a bustling shopping center.

Brad Fricks of Stream Realty Partners represented KBS, and Jon Silberman and Pierce Beyer of NAI Partners represented SPB Hospitality in the lease transaction.

The Offices at Greenhouse is located at 19219 Katy Freeway in Houston, Texas. KBS currently has 16 properties throughout Texas.
