BG Group Place, 46-floor skyscraper in Downtown Houston, United States
BG Group Place is a 46-story skyscraper in Downtown Houston that stands about 630 feet tall. The building features distinctive horizontal sunshades made of glass and aluminum covering its north and south sides.
The building was completed in 2011, marking the first major addition to Houston's skyline since 1987. Its construction represented a significant moment in the city's modern architectural development.
The structure represents modern architectural evolution in Texas through its integration of environmental design principles and advanced building technologies.
The building connects to Houston's underground tunnel system, making it easy to navigate the downtown area during bad weather without going outside. The spacious floor plans with high ceilings show how modern office buildings use open layouts to maximize usable space.
A sky garden on the 39th floor is surrounded by a five-story atrium that glows at night and can be seen from across the city. This vertical green space creates a striking feature that sets the tower apart from other buildings in the area.
