Colliers International, PKF Capital List Houston's Historic Humble Oil Building for Sale
Aug 8, 2008

The historic Humble Oil Building in Houston has been listed for sale by a team that includes PKF Capital, Colliers International - Dallas, and Colliers International multi-family Houston. Built in 1921 for Humble Oil (the predecessor to ExxonMobil), the Humble Oil Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. An extensive 2003 redevelopment turned the block-long building into a mixed-use complex consisting of a Courtyard by Marriott, a Residence Inn by Marriott, The Humble Tower Luxury Apartments, street level retail and a parking garage. The 530,000-square-foot, mixed-use complex is bordered by Dallas, Travis, Main and Polk Streets in Houston's urban core. While the building's entire system infrastructure was replaced during the redevelopment, the outstanding historical features-including original rose marble, ornately designed bronze elevators and neoclassic architecture-were preserved.
