building

Owned and managed by Parkway Properties, LLC, Phoenix Tower is a 34-story Class-A office building that was completed in 1984 and is located southwest of Houston's downtown. Clad in blue-green glass with a silver reflective coating, the 668,000-square-foot Phoenix Tower rises just to the north of U.S. 59, a major artery through the heart of the city.

Among the distinctive features designed by building architect Harwood Taylor of HKS Architects is the placement of the main lobby on the ninth floor. The walls of this Sky Lobby are finished in statuary white marble, with accents of Rosa Porino granite. The floors are finished in the same Rosa Porino granite. The Sky Lobby opens onto the Sky Terrace, an outdoor garden area with a reflection pool and an outstanding view of the downtown Houston skyline.

Phoenix Tower earned the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance as a result of extensive retrofitting of building equipment. Building lighting was upgraded with high-efficiency lamps and electronic ballasts, and the building control systems were completely upgraded. In addition, and of particular importance in Houston's hot summers, Phoenix Tower's HVAC systems were extensively upgraded, including a new rooftop cooling tower with energy-saving variable frequency drives (VFDs) on its fan motors. Air handling Units throughout Phoenix Tower have also been fitted with VFDs.
