Case Study: Meritage Homes achieves an exceptional Westchase Class A full‑floor lease and robust tenant concessions with Cresa

Finding a Home Builder a New Home

Meritage Homes engaged Cresa to locate a full floor of Class A office space (22,032 sq. ft.) along Houston’s West Belt. Using Cresa’s Transaction Management and Project Management services, the client sought strong value, easy access for current employees and an educated labor pool to support growth, plus an efficient floorplate and building signage—requirements that were uncommon for a tenant of its size.

Cresa analyzed employee traffic patterns and conducted a detailed labor study to identify Westchase as the optimal market, then negotiated a 7‑year deal that delivered 10‑year economics. Cresa secured a robust concessions package—11 months of abated rent, prominent building signage and a large TI allowance—achieving the space, cost savings and growth positioning Meritage required.
