Executive Summary

601 Sawyer is a seven-story office asset positioned at the gateway to Houston’s highly desirable Washington Avenue and Downtown corridor. The property contains approximately 88,258 rentable square feet on ±1.93 acres and offers investors a compelling value-add office acquisition with significant upside through lease-up and rent growth. The building was originally constructed in 1980 and renovated in 2006, featuring efficient floor plates of ±12,200 rentable square feet, garage and surface parking, balconies on multiple floors, and panoramic views of the Downtown Houston skyline.
A key investment driver is the property's current approximately 61 percent occupancy, creating an opportunity for a new owner to increase cash flow through strategic leasing of vacant space. Existing leases are structured as triple-net (NNN), providing an efficient operating profile while allowing investors to capture future rental rate increases. Available suites include fully built-out, plug-and-play space, and the entire seventh (top) floor presents an attractive opportunity for an owner-occupier such as law firm or others seeking a headquarters presence.
The location provides exceptional accessibility to Houston’s major transportation corridors, including I-10, I-45, US-59/69 and Memorial Drive, while being just minutes from Downtown Houston and The Washington Avenue Corridor and Midtown’s restaurant scenes. Tenants benefit from immediate access to the Buffalo Bayou trail system and the vibrant Washington Avenue entertainment district, which continues to attract both employers and residents seeking an urban live-work-play environment.
The property offers a competitive tenant amenity package including a Building Lounge with a Parks Pantry Market, locker rooms with showers, controlled access, on-site courtesy officer, garage and surface parking with a ratio exceeding four spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet. These amenities, including building signage opportunities, position this asset favorably against competing Class B and value-oriented Class A offerings in the submarket.
From an investment perspective, 601 Sawyer combines stable in-place income anchored by long-term tenants, including the City of Houston, with meaningful lease-up potential in a supply-constrained urban location of ±89 percent (per CoStar) The opportunity is well suited for investors seeking a basis significantly below replacement cost, value creation through occupancy improvements, and long-term appreciation in one of Houston’s most dynamic urban inner loop office corridors.

Structure Tone was founded in NYC as an interior and renovation construction company, and that is largely what they are still known for today. They pride themselves on the long-term relationships they have built with their clients and industry partners, which have made them one of ENR’s top three contractors in New York and consistently the #1 interior contractor in the region, year after year. New York City is one of the most complex and challenging places to build, and no one navigates it better than they do. Their decades of experience in the city and the depth of their resources enable them to match the right team to each project—whether it’s a 1Msf tech company headquarters, a major renovation of a historic icon like St. Patrick’s Cathedral, upgrades to reposition a building, or a series of restacking projects in a building they have worked in for decades. No project is too big or too small.
