HOUSTON – (Realty News Report) – Mission Companies, a Houston-based commercial real estate firm, has been acquired The Westchester, a 117,261-SF office building in West Houston.
JLL Capital Markets represented the seller and arranged financing, working on behalf of Mission to arrange the CMBS loan for the acquisition.
The Westchester is located at 11451 Katy Freeway in close proximity to CityCentre, Memorial City and Town & Country, which offer numerous retail, dining, entertainment and healthcare amenities.
