Description
The San Felipe Plaza is a standout skyscraper that sits between several of Houston’s coveted neighborhoods. Soaring 45-stories, the building is a composite structure that contains a concrete core and structural steel frame, with a polished granite and glass exterior. San Felipe Plaza’s footprint totals more than one-million-square-feet, plus 755,000 SF with its nine-level parking garage that accommodates 2,600 vehicles. In order to reduce the costs and speed the construction process, Linbeck slip-formed the 45-story core of the building prior to erecting the perimeter structure. After more than 40 years, San Felipe Plaza still stands as a major hub for offices and local businesses.
