Exxon Mobil will fuel boom with new complex

Exxon Mobil Corp. is consolidating thousands of Houston-area employees into an elaborate new campus being developed just south of The Woodlands — a move that could trigger a real estate boom in the surrounding area, but leave office buildings elsewhere scrambling for tenants.

About 8,000 employees will relocate to the new facility to be built on a 385-acre site near the intersection of Interstate 45 and the Hardy Toll Road.

The Irving-based oil giant has been preparing the heavily wooded site for months, but had not confirmed the project until early Tuesday when it notified employees in an email and later made a public announcement.

The decision to consolidate was the result of a long-term study of the company's U.S. office space.

"There seems to be value in consolidating the employees in the Houston area," said spokesman Alan Jeffers, adding that the new space will provide a better working environment and the opportunity for more employee collaboration.

The campus is expected to boost demand for housing, commercial development and office space nearby, strengthening the region spanning northern Harris County and southern Montgomery County.

"The impacts in this area are going to be substantial," said Houston economist Barton Smith.

The move, which affects most of the company's Houston-based office workers, will begin in 2014 and is expected to be completed in 2015.

A team of architecture firms designed the project, which will include multiple low-rise office buildings, a laboratory, conference and training centers and child care and wellness centers.

While generating economic growth in one area, the consolidation could have negative ramifications as well.

Exxon Mobil will vacate multiple Houston buildings, including a downtown skyscraper and properties in the Greenspoint area.

The company occupies 16 percent of the office space located in the Greenspoint District. That amounts to 2.2 million square feet of space - much of which is concentrated in the Hines Greenspoint Plaza Complex.

David Kozlowski, Freelance PhotographerI have been photographing Texas for many years, focusing on the Dallas – Fort Worth DFW and surrounding areas.  The business of photography changes constantly. It’s important to understand and your photographer.  I am a photographer who is not shy when it comes to using different cameras and methods when shooting Texas landscapes and abstract photo art for commercial customers such as hotels, resorts, corporate and medical offices.

I consider myself a Dallas – Fort Worth photographer, but enjoy shooting photos across the state of Texas…sometimes I actually leave Texas, but my heart is here.

My customer base is broad, including Nike, Marriott, Victoria’s Secret and the U.S. Postal Service.  I enjoy shooting advertising photography, architecture, rodeo, cowboys and anything with western flair.

Although most of my camera gear is Nikon, I have been very successful when shooting beautiful, unusual images using my Iphone and photography apps!  There are many occasions when I go out to shoot photos in the Dallas – Fort Worth area leaving my Nikon at home to shoot with my phone!

If you’re looking for an easy-going, creative photographer, contact me…I look forward to working with you on your project!
