Developed
and managed by Hines, and designed by Philip Johnson and John
Burgee, WilliamsTower is one of Hines' most distinctive and
recognizable high-rise office towers. Rising 64 stories from the
flat GulfCoast plain, its campanile roof crowned by a revolving
searchlight, WilliamsTower is a landmark visible for miles in any
direction. The building, totaling 1.6 million square feet, features
an 88-foot granite entryway arch, an adjacent three-acre park with a
Philip Johnson-designed "Waterwall" fountain, and a
helipad atop the adjoining parking structure. WilliamsTower is also
connected by skybridge to the Hines-developed Galleria shopping
center. WilliamsTower is home to Hines' corporate headquarters. The
building was completed in 1983.
The ENERGY STAR for WilliamsTower resulted from a
comprehensive upgrade of lighting to T8 lamps and electronic
ballasts, the installation of a computerized building management
system, and the installation and use of multi-zoned air handling
units with modulating chilled water valves, allowing zone-by-zone
control of building cooling. In addition, hot- and chilled-water
flow through cooling tower coils was balanced for maximum efficiency.
Hines has been recognized with multiple ENERGY STAR Sustained
Excellence and Partner of the Year awards. For a summary of the
firm's participation in the ENERGY STAR program and other
