HOUSTON (October 10, 2024) – Savills managed the real estate process for Reynolds Frizzell LLP. The boutique litigation law firm will remain at the 1100 Louisiana building and will expand to occupy a nearly 23,000-square-foot full floor, growing by 35%.

“Teamwork is at the center of Reynolds Frizzell’s core values, and this logic applied to its real estate strategy,” said Corporate Managing Director Jim Bell, who represented the firm in lease negotiations. “The firm has been increasing its headcount, and it sought to add additional space and collaboration areas to accompany its growth, both now and in the future. We looked at other options in the area, but 1100 Louisiana resides in the center of downtown Houston, provides ample parking, and the firm can expand conveniently on its current floor to create a more modernized workspace in a heritage building.”

In addition to Bell, Reynolds Frizzell was represented by Savills Executive Vice President Kyle Kelley and Senior Managing Director Jennifer Meehan. The Savills team negotiated a multi-year lease that includes options for future expansion and a tenant improvement allowance for Reynolds Frizzell to recreate its space. The firm plans to update its communal areas to include a new café and lounge and collaboration areas that reflect its commitment to teamwork.

“We are thrilled to be remaining at 1100 Louisiana—the only space the firm has known since its founding 15 years ago,” stated Jim Weiss, Reynolds Frizzell’s Co-Managing Partner. “We also could not be more excited about the office buildout and expansion that will provide a new and updated platform for the firm’s current needs and future growth. The Savills team has been instrumental in guiding us through this next chapter, and we appreciate their professionalism, wisdom, and hard work.”
