Fulbright Tower, Office skyscraper in downtown Houston, United States
Fulbright Tower is a 51-story office skyscraper at 3 Houston Center, part of the downtown Houston Center complex in Texas. It holds 1,247,061 square feet of Class A office space, and its lower seven levels were designed to support four trading floors for commodities such as electricity and natural gas.
Construction was scheduled to begin in November 1980, and the tower was built in 1982 as the Gulf Tower. Chevron became its main tenant and the building took the name Chevron Tower. Fulbright & Jaworski, a tenant since 1985, kept naming rights in a 2003 lease renegotiation and used them in 2005, when the tower became the Fulbright Tower.
The building is part of Houston Center and connects different parts of downtown together. From here you can reach shops, gardens, and event spaces.
The building connects to Houston's underground tunnel system, allowing you to move through downtown while avoiding extreme weather conditions. This access is especially helpful on hot days or during rain.
In October 2023 NRG Energy announced it would move its corporate headquarters into the Fulbright Tower, leasing about 245,000 square feet across the top ten floors, with occupancy planned for 2025. Norton Rose Fulbright, whose name the tower carries, moved its Houston office out in 2023.
