The developer behind Capitol Tower, a 750,000-square-foot office tower currently under construction in downtown Houston, revealed one of the project's amenities that's not often seen in Houston office properties.
Capitol Tower's 12th floor will be home to The Assembly, a 10,000-square-foot private event and meeting space, a Skanska USA Commercial Development spokesperson told the Houston Business Journal. The event space has a contemporary, modern feel; renderings of The Assembly make it more comparable to the trendy apartment lounges or co-working space than to the conference centers in most new office buildings.
"While the space will ultimately function as an extension of our tenants’ workplaces, it will also provide a venue for client or company events, which can extend out to the adjacent SkyPark,” said Matt Damborsky, executive vice president of Skanska USA Commercial Development in Houston, in a statement.
Houston-based PDR designed The Assembly. A building permit filed with the city of Houston listed the cost of construction as $1.25 million. Skanska was listed as the contractor on the building permit.

Downtown Houston’s newest skyscraper has reached its highest point.
New York-based Skanska USA Commercial Development held a topping out ceremony for Capitol Tower on April 4. Members of the development, design and construction crew signed the ceremonial beam before it was hoisted to the top of the 35-story tower.
Gensler designed the 750,000-square-foot tower, which broke ground last summer and is expected to be complete in 2019. The building is at 811 Rusk St., on the site of the former Houston Club building, which was demolished in October 2014.
Though somewhat lost in the middle of the downtown skyline, I think this building adds attractive and elegant infill.
