Houston mixed-use development wraps five-year renovation 

HOUSTON – Braun Enterprises has completed the redevelopment of 53 West Houston, a mixed-use property at 5353 and 5373 W Alabama St. 

The development consists of 168,000 sf of office space and 32,000 sf of retail space on a four-acre site.  

The redevelopment began in 2019 and included renovating and painting the exterior facades, remodeling the office interiors, and enhancing ground-level storefronts. 

Braun also upgraded the property’s walkable pathways, lighting, landscaping, and outdoor seating areas. 

Interior enhancements include upgraded common areas, restrooms, lobbies, and atriums. 

The development team also converted one of the two office towers connected by the ground-floor retail space into Urban Office, a proprietary flexible workspace concept with private offices. 

Businesses can rent furnished or unfurnished space ranging from 50 to 2,000 sf, with shared amenities including conference rooms, phone booths, lounge areas, kitchens, and a mother’s room. 

An 11-vendor food hall opened at 53 West Houston earlier this year as part of the repositioning, and two additional retail concepts are expected to open later this year.
