The leading commercial real estate services firm, Savills Studley announced today that Texas Gulf Bank, N.A., an independently owned and operated community bank with locations along the Texas Gulf Coast, is expanding its Houston operations to 900 Town and Country Lane. The company’s new lease of nearly 9,000 square feet is located within the building’s first and second floors.

Kevin Hodges, Senior Managing Director at Savills Studley’s Houston office represented Texas Gulf Bank in the transaction, while Bill Stone of Cushman & Wakefield of Texas represented the landlord.

“This was a very strategic decision for Texas Gulf Bank. It was important for the bank to expand its footprint in Houston’s Energy Corridor market and the location of this building is spot on for accessing that market,” said Hodges.

The 900 Town & Country Lane Building is located across from the popular City Centre development in which its developer, Midway Properties, recently announced plans to construct three additional Class A office buildings totaling over 987,000 square feet. Texas Gulf Bank will continue operating its retail branch at the corner of S. Voss Road and San Felipe.

According to Hodges, Texas Gulf Bank is expected to occupy the space in April 2015.
