Were these sleek, shimmering walls once the tallest in Texas? That’s right, folks. This is Enterprise Plaza, a high-reaching symbol of Houston’s ambition. Completed in 1980, it held the title of the state’s tallest building, reaching for the sky at a mighty 750 feet. For two years, it enjoyed its reign until the JPMorgan Chase Tower clinched the title in 1982. But don’t let that fool you. Enterprise Plaza, also known as 1100 Louisiana, still stands as a giant in Houston’s skyline. This 55-story skyscraper is home to some of the biggest names in business, particularly in the energy sector. And no surprise there, as Houston is practically synonymous with energy. Inside, you’ll find the headquarters of Enterprise Products, a major player in the energy industry. The building itself is a testament to the changing hands of power and prestige. It was initially owned by Hines, then Capitol Guidance Corporation, before landing in the hands of National Office Partners. Finally, in 2000, Hines Real Estate reacquired the building, bringing the story full circle. As you admire its impressive stature, remember that this isn’t just a building, it’s a story of Houston’s growth and ambition.
