JPMorgan Chase Tower, Texas’ tallest office tower, was designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei. In 2021, an urban park and architectural entry with abundant natural light were completed, as well as an expanded hospitality-inspired first floor lobby with gathering areas for both large and small groups. The iconic Sky Lobby on the 60th floor was reconfigured to offer more collaboration space for tenants with views of the city. The renovation also included the addition of a modern and multi-functional 10,000-square-foot conference center on the second floor with a dedicated concierge.
Amenities include green space and outdoor gathering areas; on-site restaurants and retail including Starbucks, Otto’s BBQ, Maggie Rita’s, Brown Bag Deli and Leaf & Grain (coming soon); spectacular city views from the 60th floor Sky Lobby; access to a 280-seat auditorium at 601 Travis; a 7,000-square-foot fitness center with locker rooms and showers; secured bike storage; VIP parking below JPMorgan Chase Tower; a 12-level tunnel-connected parking garage with destination elevators; EV charging stations in both the 600 Travis and 601 Travis parking garages; and on-site Hines management team and 24/7 security.
The LEED Gold designated and Energy Star rated building is located in the heart of Downtown Houston, offering easy access to theaters, retail, restaurants, nightlife, and hotels.
