We chose to be tenants at 1301 Fannin for its central location in downtown Houston and the safety and security of the facility. Since we moved in almost 10 years ago, Houston has experienced inclement weather, including a few hurricanes. During these times, the building has always remained open — maintaining its power and water sources.
