Development of the complex began in 1975 with the first building, followed by a second tower in 1979 and a third in 1982. This construction phase established Uptown as a separate business hub distinct from downtown Houston.

The complex provides ample parking and convenient access to restaurants and shops in the immediate area. Its central Uptown location makes it easy to reach and explore alongside nearby attractions.
Renowned architect Philip Johnson designed the towers, shaping the identity of the Uptown district. His architectural choices influenced how the area developed into a modern business hub that continues to attract further development.
