HOUSTON — Ziegler Cooper Architects and Basic Builders are renovating 5300 Memorial Drive, an 11-story, 153,000-square-foot office building in Houston. Built in 1983 and renovated in 1993, the building’s common areas, including its entry, ground floor lobby, elevator lobbies and cabs, corridors and restrooms will be remodeled and modernized. Improvements will include a new building monument sign, lobby coffee bar, hotel-grade restroom finishes and LED lighting in common areas. Owner Equus Capital Partners has retained Ziegler Cooper and Basic Builders as the design-build team on the project, which is slated for completion in the first quarter of 2017. 5300 Memorial is located in the Midtown submarket between Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou Park. JLL’s Jessica Ochoa and Russell Hodges recently completed two lease renewals at 5300 Memorial on behalf of Equus Capital Partners. The Shanks Law Firm, represented by Morgan Relyea of Cushman & Wakefield, renewed an 8,463-square-foot lease, and A. Randall Camacho, represented by Lee & Associates’ Travis Taylor, renewed a 3,523-square-foot lease.
