Dow is packing up its Energy Corridor offices and locking in fresh digs at CityCentre Six, giving Midway’s newest tower the kind of blue-chip tenant landlords dream about as they race toward a 2026 opening.
The chemical giant is moving its Houston operations into the 19-story, roughly 320,000-square-foot office tower rising at the north end of the CityCentre complex. With tenant build-outs underway and occupancy targeted for 2026, Midway executives say Dow’s commitment has kicked leasing momentum into a higher gear across the broader CityCentre district.
According to Houston Business Journal, CityCentre Six sits at 903 Town and Country Blvd and totals about 320,000 square feet across 19 stories. Dow has signed on as the anchor tenant and is taking the bulk of the office floors. The Business Journal reports Midway CEO Brad Freels described the tower as almost fully leased while detailing other moves underway at CityCentre, with roughly 100,000 square feet of office space still available beyond the anchor commitment.
Design features and leasing setup
Per Midway, CityCentre Six will rise above a half-acre urban plaza, bring in street-level retail and offer rooftop terraces aimed at keeping foot traffic and activity flowing throughout the day. Office floors will sit on top of a multi-level podium with on-site parking, and the floor plates are designed to flex for either single-tenant users or carved-up suites. Midway’s project page also lays out leasing contacts and showcases renderings for prospective tenants sizing up the tower.
Where Dow is coming from and timing
Dow plans to relocate from its current Energy Corridor offices at Plaza at Enclave when that lease expires, timing the move to match CityCentre Six’s expected delivery in 2026, a relocation first reported during the building’s leasing announcements. The Houston Chronicle noted the company has been in its Energy Corridor space for more than a decade and that the shift will consolidate Houston operations into the new tower. Exact move-in dates will depend on tenant fit-outs and individual build-outs on each floor.
Where this fits in the Houston office market
Dow’s decision lands as a high-profile vote of confidence in newer, amenity-heavy office buildings at a time when the citywide office market is still trying to find its footing. As Bisnow reported, CityCentre has largely sidestepped the worst of Houston’s vacancy pain, with full occupancy in its existing office buildings and comparatively lower vacancy in the Katy Freeway submarket. Brokers often point out that landing a large, single-occupant anchor tenant is the spark developers need to lease the remaining space and lock in project economics.
CityCentre Six topped out in 2025, and industry notices indicate the tower is on schedule for spring 2026 delivery, with tenant move-ins to follow as interior work is finished. Realty News Report shows suites on several mid-level floors still up for grabs, giving brokers a mix of options to pitch, from full-floor single users to multi-tenant layouts. Midway has also signaled additional phases and mixed-use projects around CityCentre, so once this tower opens, it is expected to be just one of several drivers of future retail and amenity demand in the district.
