July 27, 2022 (HOUSTON) – 35 South Capital and Lee & Associates – Houston have announced the acquisition of 10497 Town and Country Way, a 150,000-square-foot Class A office building on Houston’s west side less than a quarter mile from the bustling Memorial City and CityCentre mixed-use districts. The property will house both companies, with Lee & Associates – Houston overseeing the leasing and property management.

Both 35 South Capital and Lee & Associates – Houston have been actively pursuing strategic real estate opportunities throughout Texas and the Greater Houston area. 10497 Town and Country Way was specifically identified as a high value target given its attractive location, historical occupancy and the $4.5 million interior and exterior renovations that were recently completed.

“The ability to acquire this asset with a proven partner that will owner-occupy, lease and manage made the procurement of the building that much more attractive to pursue,” said 35 South Capital CEO John Morton. “We are excited to enter into this venture together and look forward to jointly optimizing this investment moving forward.”

“Our company has been fortunate to have our Houston headquarters located in such a great area for some time, and we have been seeking an asset to purchase in order to continue our growth in what is now the center of Houston,” said Chris Lewis, managing partner of Lee & Associates – Houston. “We are thrilled to have the 35 South Capital team partner with us in this endeavor.”

The seller, an affiliate of Equus Capital Partners, Ltd. (“Equus”), one of the nation’s leading real estate investment managers, was represented by the Houston JLL Capital Markets team led by Managing Director Kevin McConn and Senior Director Rick Goings. JLL’s Debt Advisory team representing the buyer/borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Kelly Layne and Senior Director John Ream, who arranged the acquisition loan through Independent Bank on behalf of the 35 South / L&A joint purchasing venture.
