Sewell Mercedes-Benz of West Houston to open soon
A car dealership brand known for stellar service is coming to Houston: Sewell Mercedes-Benz of West Houston . Located at the northwest corner of I-10 and State Highway 6, construction is underway on a 200,000-square-foot facility on a 15.3-acre site. The store will repurpose an old Sam’s Club building and feature an 18-vehicle showroom, indoor display area for 200 vehicles, and an AMG performance center.

When opened, this will be Sewell’s first Mercedes franchise and fifth dealership in Houston including a Cadillac dealership also in The Energy Corridor. The 104-year-old company owns dealerships in Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio. Owner Carl Sewell is also known as the author of Customers for Life, an international best-selling book that is still in print.

First Service Credit Union will soon call Park 10 home after they complete their relocation from northeast Houston. The financial institution purchased the six-story, 110,452-square-foot building at 16430 Park Ten Place, which is four times the space of First Service’s current headquarters office and allows for anticipated growth.

First Service will initially occupy 35,000-square-feet of the building, with current tenants occupying the majority of the remaining space. The company will move its executive team, mortgage, collections, accounting, technology, and call center operations. First Service also will offer a full-service branch and drive-through window.

“The new facility gives us more than enough room to grow over the next decade,” said Dave Bleazard, president of First Service Credit Union, in an announcement. “It is also a great real estate investment for us, with tenants that will offset some of our costs.”

Established in 1977, First Union Credit Union includes 10 area branches and more than 58,500 members.

G&A Joins Houston Engineering
G&A Partners moved from the Galleria and joins Houston Offshore Engineering in Transwestern’s Westgate complex in Park 10.

G&A Partners relocate to Park 10

G&A Partners, a human resource outsourcing provider, has relocated to Transwestern’s Westgate complex in Park 10. The company’s new space, located at 17220 Katy Freeway, is about 15,000-square-feet larger than its previous location in the Galleria area. Although G&A Partners wanted more space, they also sought a better location.

“We needed more space, and in the area where we were, it was very difficult to find. There was a lot of congestion because of the area,” said Tony Grijalva, G&A’s chairman and CEO, in an interview with the Houston Business Journal. “We found this great location in the Energy Corridor on the Katy Freeway. We felt that given the locations of our employees and the distances to commute and so forth, it was a pretty decent location to accomplish what we wanted to.”

The four-story-building is part of a three-building, 660,000-square-foot complex developed by Transwestern in Park 10 at I-10 and Innovation Park Drive (formerly Houston Chronicle Blvd.).


Sercell Incorporated is expanding at its Park 10 campus again with a 25,000-square-foot addition.
