Port of Houston Authority Offices

Located within Midway’s East River development in Houston’s Historic Fifth Ward, Port of Houston’s new administrative headquarters brings nearly 300 employees together in a workplace designed to support collaboration, flexibility, and connection. The new headquarters reflects Port Houston’s deep connection to the region’s maritime legacy while creating a modern, cohesive environment that supports the organization’s continued growth and its role in driving Houston’s economic future.

The success of the project is reflected in how the space functions every day. The furniture solutions help define a variety of work settings, from focused individual workspaces to collaborative areas and shared gathering spaces, giving employees the flexibility to work, connect, and move throughout the building with ease. Today, their office feels as purposeful and forward-thinking as the organization it serves: a workplace that brings people together, supports the day-to-day work of Port Houston, and creates a welcoming home for the teams shaping the future of one of the world’s most important maritime and logistics hubs.
