Exclusive: Engineering giant Fluor to leave Sugar Land office campus after nearly 40 years
Granite Properties completely renovated Eldridge Place since acquiring the three-building office complex in 2019.Construction and engineering giant Fluor is moving its Houston-area hub to the Energy Corridor after almost 40 years in Sugar Land, the company said Wednesday.
Fluor plans to move more than 1,300 employees to the 13-story building in summer 2024 from the firm’s campus at 1 Fluor Daniel Drive in Sugar Land, said Jennifer Kim, vice president and general manager of Fluor’s Houston office. The company is hiring 170 people this year and looking to fill another 400 positions, she added.The Irving-based firm has long looked to modernize its Houston offices, originally planning to build a 50-acre campus near the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land.
On any given day, about 85 percent of its Houston workforce is working in the office, with about 15 percent working flexible or remote schedules, she said. Its future West Houston building can accommodate up to 1,600 employees. There is also room for Fluor to grow into nearby buildings as needed, Kim said.Fluor’s Houston operations also are the home for its energy solutions business, so relocating to the Energy Corridor will put the company closer to many of its clients, as well as top talent at nearby engineering firms.
