Avison Young awarded leasing assignment for two office buildings totaling 295,656-sf in Houston

Capital improvement program is underway by new ownership including the addition of a café and co-working spaces
Houston, TX – Avison Young is pleased to announce its appointment as the exclusive leasing agent for two office properties totaling 295,656 square feet (sf) in Houston’s dynamic Westchase submarket. They include 9800 Richmond Avenue, an eight-story 177,397-sf building, and 11000 Richmond Avenue, a six-story 118,259-sf building.
The buildings were acquired in April 2025 by Beyond Richmond Office LLC, a respected international investment firm headquartered in Irvine, CA. Beyond Richmond Office has entrusted Marti Grizzle, Vice President, and Wade Bowlin, Principal and Managing Director, of Avison Young to lead the leasing efforts for both properties.
“We are pleased to have been awarded this leasing assignment,” said Grizzle. “With an availability approximately 50%, our Avison Young team has plans for an aggressive leasing strategy to attract new tenants seeking well-managed and conveniently located office space.”
Beyond Richmond Office is currently underway on capital improvement plans that entail modernizing the main lobby and bringing in food choices to both buildings including adding a café in the 9800 building. Additionally, there will be co-working space added to the entire seventh floor at 9800 and the entire fourth floor at 11000.
Situated in the core of Westchase, 9800 and 11000 Richmond Avenue boast convenient access to major thoroughfares including Westpark Tollway, Sam Houston Parkway, Katy Freeway, and Southwest Freeway. The properties also benefit from the rich array of dining, shopping, and hospitality options that define the Westchase District.
