JLL Capital Markets has been engaged as the exclusive representative of the ownership to market for sale a 100% fee simple interest in 1000 Louisiana, a Class A office tower in Houston’s central business district. The offering encompasses a 71-story, 1,721,242-square-foot high-rise that is positioned as an institutional-quality asset in the heart of the city’s primary office core.
Also known historically as Wells Fargo Plaza, 1000 Louisiana reaches 992 feet in height and provides 71 stories of tenant floors. The tower has been recognized three times with Houston BOMA’s “Building of the Year” award, underscoring its profile within the local office market. The property is co-owned by Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. (MetLife) and the New York State Common Retirement Fund.
The tower is currently reported at 70.6% occupancy, offering investors a combination of in-place cash flow and remaining lease-up potential. Since its completion in 1983, 1000 Louisiana has benefited from ongoing capital investment, which has supported its positioning as a Class A property within Houston’s central business district.
On-site amenities at 1000 Louisiana are anchored by Club 1000, a fitness facility that includes luxury locker rooms, and the Founder’s Club, an exclusive country club-style tenant lounge. The property also offers below-grade and valet parking, with 1,600 spaces located in the 1311 Louisiana garage. Parking is accessible via climate-controlled tunnels, providing weather-protected connectivity for building users.
Additional services at the property include a full-service bank, car detailing, Adair Downtown, and on-site management, offering tenants a range of daily-use conveniences within the building. Together, these features, combined with the property’s scale, central business district location, and existing occupancy, frame 1000 Louisiana as a large, recognizable office asset being brought to market by JLL Capital Markets on behalf of its institutional ownership.
