The purchase price was not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Developed by Jesse H. Jones, the signature office tower was originally built for Gulf Oil and the National Bank of Commerce. It then underwent two major expansion projects, in 1948 and 1950, which brought it to its current size of 794,186 square feet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Located along Main Street, on the Downtown Houston Tunnel System, the 37-story Art Deco skyscraper has been designated a city of Houston landmark and a National Civil Engineering landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Anchored by JPMorgan Chase&#8217;s southwest banking operations, 712 Main is currently leased to 43 tenants. Occupancy was set at 85 percent at the time of closing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Interest in the property was strong due to the quality of the asset and the stable and predictable cash flow via JPMorgan Chase\u2019s lease through 2030,\u201d said HFF\u2019s Dan Miller in a statement. Transwestern was retained by Lionstone to handle management and leasing for the property.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The building boasts exclusive design features, including eight frescoes that depict Texas history, stained glass windows, gothic ornamentation and French marble. Additionally, the tower hosts a 15,000-square-foot Chase retail banking center on the ground floor, as well as a convenience store and a tenant conference center. Amenities include garage parking accessibility, on-site management and leasing, 24-hour courtesy officers, proximity to the North and East rail lines and two connections to Houston\u2019s underground tunnel system of shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Meanwhile, in multi-family news, the <a title=\"Real Estate News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/southflorida\/news\/2013\/10\/15\/multi-family-investors-buys-1312.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>South Florida Business Journal<\/em><\/a> reports that Ytech International, a nationwide multifamily investment and development company, acquired a 1,312-unit portfolio including five Houston developments, for $35 million.
