SOM used to have an office in Houston. Also, Hines is based in Houston; Gerald Hines has more often than not developed signature buildings by the world's top architects.
Banking in Texas was changing, so banks were looking for signature buildings. And don't forget the oil boom of the late 70's/early 80's.
We were lucky.
