Calpine Center, Postmodern skyscraper in Downtown Houston, United States.
The Calpine Center rises 453 feet with 33 floors of office space, featuring a glass and steel exterior in Downtown Houston's business district.
Construction of the Calpine Center began in the early 2000s, with its official opening taking place on November 10, 2003, marking a new phase of downtown development.
The building represents contemporary architectural design principles of the early 21st century, incorporating elements that reflect Houston's growth as an energy industry center.
The structure connects to Houston's underground tunnel network, allowing office workers and visitors to move between downtown buildings protected from weather conditions.
Mark Russell from Studley evaluated the Calpine Center as more efficient in design compared to Houston's office buildings constructed during the early 1980s.
