HOUSTON, TX — Houston-based Midway, a real estate investment and development firm, announces that demolition has commenced to make way for CITYCENTRE Seven, its latest significant development at CITYCENTRE, a mixed-use destination for Class A office space, shopping, dining, and entertainment in Houston. This development is designed to add capacity to this high-demand centre, which is currently 97 percent leased.

The new development totals approximately 147,000 square feet, including 120,000 square feet of Class A office space, and more than 27,000 square feet of retail and restaurants.

In addition, Marriott International has awarded a franchise to bring the company’s design-driven AC Hotels brand to CITYCENTRE, which will also be developed by Midway. This marks the second AC Hotels by Marriott in the Houston market, joining AC Hotels by Marriott Houston Downtown.

“The CITYCENTRE area comprises a very dynamic and unique mix of office, retail, hotel, and residential offerings. The overall densification of CITYCENTRE is a testament to the fact that our city continues to grow, and people want to live, work in, and visit this area,” said Chris Seckinger, Vice President at Midway. “Midway’s commitment to this project speaks to our confidence in the Houston market and CITYCENTRE, and we feel certain this project will be a welcomed addition to our prestigious area.”

Located on the corner of Beltway 8 and Interstate 10, CITYCENTRE Seven will feature a six-level office building with ground floor retail, providing direct access to shopping, dining, and entertainment at CITYCENTRE and near the additional office buildings in the area. In addition to CITYCENTRE’s existing amenity-rich environment, planned amenities for the development include boutique fitness, spa, and wellness amenities, and fast casual dining with parking in a seven-level garage.
