I don't know why I thought that it had something to do with terrorist attacks and things of that sort.

I'm talking about everybody in every office Exxon Mobile owns. Not the work site. Office speculation eats up a lot of productivity, time wise.

Not a big news story on the Nova forum. I enjoyed seeing your thread today and I've been trying to push the topic a little, but it doesn't seem to be getting too much interest. Exxon's not a big deal here and it's not really a company you think of as a VA company. I'm not sure why they had a campus here, anyway--they held onto it for investment, apparently. It was a relic from pre-merger days and now they have a federal agency that wants the property, so with an interested buyer it makes sense for Exxon to let it go. I hope it happens.

I wonder how tall those buildings are going to be.

Looks like they're planning on lots of smaller buildings. Last blue-print I saw showed 20-something buildings that looked pretty similar. If that's the case, I suspect they'd be no bigger than what they're currently in at Greenspoint.

[SouthernBoy205]

I wouldn't know how big that is.

Around 12 floors or so, give or take. Just a guess that the new ones will be similar.

[SouthernBoy205]

12 floors is not bad, espeacially outside of a downtown area in the suburbs.

there is an article on Exxon's North America Campus in the Homes advertising supplement section of the sunday chronicle. Exxon will purchase 400 acres at the Montgomery/Harris County line, just south of the Woodlands.

it is rumored that Exxon is requiring to state of Texas and grand parkway associations commitment to complete section G of the grand parkway by 2015, from I-45/Riley Rd to Highway 59 at Valley Ranch and Community Drive north of Kingwood.

the campus is expected to have 3 million square feet of office space, accommodating a reported 17,000 employees, 8,000 of whom are expected to transfer from other areas of the country and live in "Exxon Village".

Montgomery County commissioner Ed Rinehart says a traffic and revenue study is due out in June, and at the time, the state and county will decide the fastest way to construct Montgomery county's section of the Grand parkway as a priority section.

the new road is expected to increase the tax bas in Montgomery county by 1.4 BILLION dollars, according to an economic impact study performed by Ron Welch, Ph.D. from the university of Houston.


in the words of VP Joe Biden, when this thing gets off the ground, its going to be a Big F****ing deal!

looks like Montgomery county is gonna be booming. Sounds like The Woodlands is gonna benefit a lot too. Looks like the North is going to be the new West
