Energy Plaza Embassy Suites: Hotel Mini-Mac

New Embassy Suites Hotel at Energy Plaza, Houston

A new Mini-Me for Energy Tower I is now going up at I-10 and Kirkwood. It’s an Embassy Suites Hotel!

The 216-room, 14-story hotel at 11730 Interstate 10 is Mac Haik’s third project in the development and will be situated just east of two office buildings. Energy Tower I, a 345,000-square-foot, 14-story building, is 100 percent leased, and Energy Tower II, a 428,979-square-foot, 17-story building under construction, is 90 percent preleased . . .

The developer is considering a third building, which could be a twin tower to the 17-story building or could be expanded.

Reader Question: That Crane at I-10 and Kirkwood

Energy Tower I, Kirkwood and I-10, Houston

A reader asks about some new construction off I-10:

There’s a tall crane setup at the NW corner of I-10 and Kirkwood, next door to the existing Energy Tower I. I haven’t seen anything about that anywhere. Another office tower by Mac Haik Management? Energy Tower II??

Answers, anyone . . . ?
