If this is the building, it's 500 Jefferson. It was built about 10 years before this tower and was the first building in Cullen Center. It purchased by John Quinlan
in 2017 who sought historic designation from the
city for it in 2021.
IMO it was the better looking of the two structures pre-conversion. The document is worth reading if you're interested in development & design history and context like I am.
That said, I've been wondering if Quinlan will sell it to DeBartolo to redevelop into apartments like he did with this tower and, more recently,
Three Westlake Park in the Energy Corridor.
