Westchase is a business district and neighborhood in western Houston, Texas, bounded by Westheimer Road on the north, Gessner Road on the east, Houston Center Boulevard on the west, and Westpark Tollway on the south.[1] The area is bisected by Beltway 8. Westchase is adjacent to Greater Sharpstown, the International District (which includes part of Chinatown), and the Royal Oaks Country Club subdivision. The area is immediately northeast of Alief.

A large portion of Westchase is covered by a special district, the Westchase Management District, which was created by the Texas Legislature in 1995.[2] This entity, funded by a tax increment on businesses within its boundaries, provides branding, urban planning, and public safety functions for its constituents.[3]

More than 1,500 businesses reside in Westchase; several are associated with the petroleum industry, for which Houston is considered a major capital. Major employers that have offices in Westchase include ABB Group, BMC Software, Chevron, Phillips 66, Dow Chemical, Petrochina, and Jacobs Engineering.[4] The Westchase management district is approximately 4.32 square miles (11.2 km2) in size, with 16.3 million square feet (1,510,000 m2) of office space contained in 118 buildings.[5]

In 2006 Westchase was described by John Nova Lomax of the Houston Press as suburban in nature, with a high concentration of chain stores along its major arterial roads.[6]

History

[edit]

In the 1950s, large portions of Westchase were purchased by Robert E. Smith, a Houston oilman and philanthropist well known for creating the Houston Colt .45s baseball team.[7] In 1969, Friendswood Development Company purchased a section of Smith's land to form what is now Woodlake, a residential subdivision at the intersection of Westheimer and Gessner.[8] In 1973, Westchase Corporation, the predecessor to the modern management district, purchased 760 acres (3.1 km2) of Smith's land and began preparing land parcels for corporate development.[7] Chevron and Western Geophysical were some of the first companies to establish operations in the district.

Construction on Beltway 8 (the Sam Houston Tollway) through the area began in 1985 and was completed in 1988. Financing for this section of the tollway was particularly challenging, as the Texas Department of Transportation's right-of-way acquisition program coincided with the rapid development of Westchase and Sharpstown, induced by the 1970s energy crisis.[9] In order to ensure that the highway would be built, landowners and developers in Westchase and Sharpstown formed the Beltway 8 Group, which coordinated with TxDOT to lock in property values at rates the state could afford.[9]

In the early 1990s, BMC Software relocated its headquarters from Sugar Land to a new 20-story tower in Westchase.[10]

Legislation creating the Westchase District was passed by the 73rd Texas State Legislature and became law on August 28, 1995.[11]

In 2012, after splitting from ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66 began construction on a 14-acre (5.7 ha) corporate headquarters in the district. The project was completed in 2016.[12] That same year, due to the 2010s oil glut, Halliburton moved out of its 48-acre (19-hectare) campus near Chinatown, and Maersk Oil ended operations in the area.[13][14]

Economy

[edit]
Randall's Food Markets headquarters

The following companies have regional or international headquarters in Westchase:

Additionally, the following companies have operations in Westchase:

Westchase is home to a growing number of hotels; between 2014 and 2016, the hotel market in the district grew by 9%.[28] The two flagship full-service hotels in the district are the Marriott Westchase and the Houston Hilton Westchase.[28]

Westchase is home to one of Houston's only Japanese markets, the Nippan Daido (大道日本食料品店 Daidō Nihon Shokuryōhinden).[29]

In 2022 the Bechtel announced it would move its Houston area offices, currently in the Houston Galleria area, to Westchase effective late 2023.[30]

In 2023 Mattress Firm announced it would move its headquarters to Westchase as the lease at its current headquarters ends.[31]

Halliburton previously operated the Houston Office (a.k.a. Oak Park Campus) on 67 acres (27 ha) of land located in Chinatown and in the Westchase district.[32][33][34][35][36] The complex included the Latin America division of Easywell, a division of Halliburton.[37] The building first opened as a Brown and Root facility in 1979.[38] In 2009 the Westchase campus had 1,700 employees; Halliburton plans to increase its workforce at Oak Park to 3,000 workers. At the Bellaire site Halliburton plans to build a 16-story tower, a two-story "life center," an additional parking garage, expanded child care facilities, auditoriums, and bridges to connect the many buildings.[35] In 2009 Halliburton had about 1,000 employees worked in leased office space in Westchase. During that year Halliburton stated that it planned to vacate the leased space.[39] The plans for the Oak Park office had been delayed by one year, and Halliburton expected completion in 2013.[40] However Halliburton closed the facility in 2015, and in 2020 a planned demolition was revealed.[38]

In 2019 the Mexican government agreed to give the state government of Texas the land of the Consulate-General of Mexico,[45] in Southeast Houston,[46][47] in exchange for the state giving the Mexican government 3 acres (1.2 ha) of land in Westchase,[48] that was previously state property. The move is rebuilding so the state government can reconstruct freeways in the Southeast Houston area.[45] The current Mexican consulate opened in June 2021.[49]
