By 2010 KBR won't need this space. I’m sure this was cancelled because the petrochem industry in Houston is collapsing. By 2010 KBR won’t need this space.

Highway 99 is WAY too far out for a company like KBR, who has lots of suburban employees living in Montgomery County, Fort Bend County and Northwest Houston (Jersey Village, etc.) in addition to those living in Katy. They don't HAVE to be downtown, but somewhere around Westchase would make A LOT more sense. I never could figure out how this deal made sense in the first place.

With I-10 in completed mode, travel times have been drastically cut. This alone will help prevent increased office space far out west even in a time of easy credit.
