Aker Solutions has signed a new office lease that will allow it to decrease its Houston footprint by 27 percent.
Following the downsizing, Aker Solutions will have a total of 315,000 square feet in five area locations versus 433,000 square feet.
The Norwegian conglomerate will shed 118,000 square feet of space in November when it moves into Pinnacle Westchase, located at 3010 Briarpark Drive in West Houston. Aker Solutions struck a deal last month for 133,000 square feet in the building.
Pinnacle Westchase is just down the street from 3600 Briarpark Drive, where Aker Solutions currently leases 251,000 square feet.
The 471,000-square-foot Pinnacle Westchase, built in 1999, is on the verge of undergoing extensive renovations. A total of 210,000 square feet on the top four floors are vacant.
Mark O’Donnell of Studley Inc. represented Aker Solutions on the lease. Adam Jackson and Stewart Lyman of Stream Realty Partners LP represented the building owner.
Aker Solutions provides engineering and construction services, technology products and integrated solutions.
