Houstons Central Business District is situated between the attractions of Downtown Houston and the Uptown area, and within this area, one will immediately be drawn to the charms of Greenway Plaza. Greenway Plaza is one of the most vibrant of Houstons business hubs due in part to the easy access provided by its proximity to Interstate 69 and two of the most popular residential neighborhoods (West University and River Oaks).

It today spans 52 acres, and it continues to evolve as new opportunities and new trends in the development of mixed-use spaces become apparent. Already it combines state of the art office space with a pedestrian-friendly layout including gathering spaces such as plazas (indoor and outdoor) and green spots. This balance provides those who work or visit Greenway Plaza with an experience that directly contributes to their quality of life.
