Cullen Center, Skyscraper complex in Downtown Houston, United States

Cullen Center is a complex of four connected towers in Downtown Houston: 500 Jefferson, Continental Center I and II, and KBR Tower. The buildings are linked by pedestrian walkways and contain office spaces, retail areas, and various service facilities.

The Cullen family announced this complex in 1959 as a major business development for the city. The 500 Jefferson tower was later recognized for its architectural importance and added to the national historic register, reflecting Houston's growing financial sector.

The complex houses administrative offices of the Houston Fire Department and previously served as headquarters for Continental Airlines until 2010.

The complex has separate areas for vehicles and pedestrians, with clear pathways to navigate between the connected buildings. You will find restaurants, shops, and banking services within the complex.

The 500 Jefferson tower earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural design. This recognition marks it as a significant example of modern banking architecture that shaped Houston's downtown profile.
