Westway Park is a 150-acre office park located at the intersection of the Sam Houston Tollway and Clay road, between Interstate 10 and U.S. 290. The Sam Houston Tollway, is one of the fastest developing technology corridors in the country. Westway Park is home to a number of Houston’s leading corporations including GE Oil & Gas, OneSubsea, Travelers, Seismic Exchange and Superior Energy Services.
High standards for architecture, landscaping and signage all contribute to an excellent business environment as demonstrated in Wolff Companies’ Westway Park at Beltway 8 and Clay Road in West Houston.
Ten Oaks is a planned business environment that includes the Texas Medical Center – West Campus, whose first phase is comprised of major health care facilities built by Texas Children’s Hospital and Houston Methodist Hospital who, together have already committed more than half a billion dollars. Located at the northwest intersection of Park Row and Barker Cypress Road, Ten Oaks is the western anchor of The Energy Corridor, the central business district in the Greater West Houston metropolitan area. Numerous corporate or division headquarters for major companies such as BP, ConocoPhillips, Shell Oil and many others are also in the immediate vicinity of Ten Oaks. Major employers are attracted by convenient access to the well-educated workforce found surrounding The Energy Corridor and the variety and quality of housing opportunities in the area.
Relocating mature live oak trees in Ten Oaks prior to infrastructure development is one of many measures taken to develop a high quality business environment.
