THANK YOU FOR LEAVING YOUR PLACE FOR THE BANK IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION 
“We mowed the lawn this weekend, so we’re giving it to them in nice shape.†— Dougal Cameron of Cameron Management, leader of an investment group that delivered the freshly LEED-certified and entirely vacant 12-story 2000 St. James Place office building just south of Tanglewood to Wachovia Bank (now a part of Wells Fargo) in a sparsely attended foreclosure ceremony earlier this month. Minute Maid moved out of the building in February 2009 — about a year and a half after Cameron’s investment group bought it; the building has had no tenants since then. [Houston Business Journal]

Not a good sign of things to come.
I hope they put toothpaste in all the nail holes, too.
If only the city of Houston had been willing to top Sugar Land’s $2 million bribe to Minute Maid, that building would be occupied today!

What a difference two years can make.
This was the first building in Texas to achieve LEED Gold for Existing Buildings.

All wonderfully entertaining. Guess green doesn’t translate to green, if you know what I mean.
