"We welcome this purchase and lease. It is good news," said Houston Mayor Bill White. "It highlights again Houston's strength as a global energy center and our healthy business and real estate climate. And it helps us add and retain still more jobs with a future." "We are encouraged by Chevron's decision to lease one of Houston's premier downtown buildings," said Jeff Moseley, President and CEO, Greater Houston Partnership. "The acquisition of Four Allen Center by Brookfield Properties is another strong sign of Houston's central business district recovery. Chevron's lease will dramatically increase the positive absorption in downtown Houston and substantially reduce the vacancy rate. This is the largest single building lease Houston has ever seen."
