 As I begin my term as President, I
would like to start by expressing my
gratitude and appreciation to the
Nominating Committee, the Houston
BOMA Board of Directors and the
membership for giving me the honor
and opportunity to serve you in
2016. It is not a position I take lightly;
leading an organization of this caliber
is a big responsibility.
One of the first questions I was
asked regarding my new role was,
What do you want to accomplish as
president? I have given this a lot of
Presidents Message
Meredith Cress
Hines
thought over the past months, and
the conclusion I reached is it is not
about what I want to accomplish.
Because its not about me, its about
you, the members. The members
and their participation is what will
allow this organization to survive
and thrive. We have to continually
seek what you want and need out
of BOMA.
With that in mind, in the summer
of 2015, Tammy retained a consultant
to interview several anonymous focus
groups, made up of Houston BOMA
members with varying tenure and
participation, to ask pointed ques-
tions intended to solicit feedback
on what is done well and what needs
to improve. The feedback received
during those sessions was reviewed
by the 2016 Board of Directors
Guide to Sustainable and Energy Efficient Leasing
for High-Performance Buildings
In the race to achieve the highest possible building performance, a building can only reach as high as the commitment
of its tenants. Published in 2010 as an update to the 2008 Green Lease Guide, Commercial Lease: Guide to Sustainable
and Energy Efficient Leasing for High-Performance Buildings includes enforceable tenant responsibilities; pass-through
provisions; and green certification notations for ENERGY STAR, LEED and GBI rating points.

BOMA Mission
The mission of the Houston Building Owners and
Managers Association is to support and advance
the interests of the commercial real estate industry.
Houston BOMA will be an organization of advocacy
and sustainable building practices that utilizes the
strengths, talents and leadership of its members and
industry associates to build value and lasting relation-
shipswith our community through professional
development, networking and sharing of information.

during our Board retreat and used to
develop the 2016 Strategic Plan.
We have given ourselves aggres-
sive goals for the year focused on
technology improvements, recruit-
ing, leadership development and
increased inclusion for our Allied
Professional members.
You will see positive changes
to the Houston BOMA website,
intended to make it mobile-friendly
and more intuitive so you feel better
connected to what is going on at
Houston BOMA. Educational and in-
formational videos will be developed
where appropriate and posted on a
Houston BOMA YouTube channel for
your reference. The Houston BOMA
Staff will build community through
social media channels to encourage
two-way member communication.
One of the largest challenges
identified by our Principal and
Affiliate (property management)
members is the workforce turnover
as experienced, tenured employees
retire, creating position openings
that need to be backfilled. Houston
BOMA intends to be the leader in
industry recruitment by establish-
ing a Career Fair Program targeted
towards local colleges. Additionally,
the Houston BOMA Foundation has
been launched to provide funding for
research, education and scholarships
BOMA Vision
To be the recognized
industry leader in both
legislative advocacy and
professional development
for a broad spectrum
of commercial real
estate professionals in
the Houston market.

and collegiate outreach to spread the
word about property management as
a career choice. Regarding leader-
ship development, we will continue
providing educational offerings for
career advancement of Affiliate mem-
bers, and a subsequent leadership
development program for Leadership
Lyceum graduates is in the works.
Finally, our Allied Professional
partners voiced the desire for more
involvement in the organization. In
order to increase inclusion, we have
made a couple significant changes.
First, we increased committee partic-
ipation to a maximum of 10 members
with a ratio of 7 Principal/Affiliate
members to 3 Allied Professional
members (previous ratio was 6:2).
Secondly, we established the Allied
Professional Advisory Committee
comprised of the top two tiers of
the annual sponsorship program,
intended to be a means of providing
feedback to the Board of Directors.
I believe that these goals will take
us the right direction in 2016. Howev-
er, if along the way, if you think that
were off track, tell me. Your feed-
back regarding what you need from
BOMA is invaluable to our success.
Were going to have a fantastic
year, and were going to do
it together. n

Esperson communicates the renaissance of Downtown.
At the time of its construction, the Niels Esperson Building was far
more superior from almost every standpoint to most buildings in the
United States. Its foundation rests upon 1,300 reinforced concrete piles
which are 46 feet below the surface. The Buildings reinforced concrete
and steel grillage was one of the most massive in the nation at the time.
The Buildings 411-foot steel pier structure contains 60 percent more
steel than required to support the structure.
In 1939, in her 25th-floor Niels Esperson apartment, Mellie
Esperson consulted with her architects to design another building,
but she cautioned, It must not be as tall or as magnificent as
Mr. Espersons building. This new structure became the Mellie
Esperson Building, which officially opened in 1941, standing 250 feet
high with 19 stories of office space. This was the largest building
erected in the southwest after the Great Depression and was the
first large building to be constructed with air conditioning. During
the official opening of the Mellie Esperson Building, Mrs. Esperson
said, in part, These buildings do not stand to Niels and Mellie Esperson.
Rather they are practical, operating developments in a city that has been
good and fair to us, and to which we owe so much.
People connect to this Landmark because it represents Houstons
entrepreneurial spirit and businesses are attracted to every aspect. n

Team Meeting (twice a year), School Supplies Drive (operation backpack), Offer Houston Texans Tickets,
and Offer Houston Rodeo Tickets.

page 20 Houston Building Owners & Managers Association January/February 2016

 The building environment is fostered by its team members with a
customer service oriented approach, and a cohesive goal with tenant
facility managers to provide a quality office experience to all occupants.
The spirit of comradery and teamwork affords the Pennzoil team with
tenant provided service scores above the industry average. This is
further proven by the recent and major renewals of Cheniere Energy,
and Bracewell Giuliani.
The timeless architectural design by Phillip Johnson, combined
with completely new infrastructure offers the best of both prestige
and functionality for Pennzoil Place tenants. Recent
renovations include opening up the tunnel level space
to provide 180 additional seats for fully functioning
food court for tenant occupants and the surrounding
buildings. Among the retail tenants are large franchise
chains, Chick Fil A, Which Wich, Sonic, Salata, and local
favorite Treebeards.
Metropolis Investment Holdings, Inc. has invested
over $15 million of dollars in this property over past five
(5) years; Pennzoil is not only timeless in architecture,
but the most technologically advanced building in the
City. These capital investments have helped reduce
energy expenses by over 50%, and positioned the
building for quality operation for years to come. The
team truly cares about the quality of service and life
for the occupants it serves, and believe the tangible
results of its efforts need to be shared in honor of the
investments made by the Owner and Pennzoil team. n

Big Things on the Horizon
By Tammy K. Betancourt, CEO

With the whirlwind that was 2015 coming to

a close, Houston BOMA is gearing up to launch
bigger and better plans for our members in
2016. Our goals for 2016 are unprecedented
and will pay dividends on meeting our member
value proposition.
First and foremost we are forming the Houston BOMA Founda-
tion. The Foundation will serve as a funding agent for many timely and
worthwhile projects within our organization. The goal of the Foundation
is to assist real estate professionals by providing educational schol-
arships and research tools to advance careers and add value to the
property our members manage and operate. Through donating to the
Foundation, you have the opportunity to help us continue making a
positive impact for years to come. Heres what we have planned:
Research: the Foundation will provide tools such as our annual
Salary Survey and Economic Impact Study to real estate professionals
that add value to the properties they own, manage, and operate.
The Foundations research studies and white papers also help real
estate professionals and companies stay competitive in the continually
evolving real estate marketplace.

page 22 Houston Building Owners & Managers Association January/February 2016

 Education: the Foundation will
advance real estate education through
awarding scholarships and providing
funds for real estate professionals
to use to support their enrollment in
designation and certificate professional
development programs.
Leadership Development: the Foundation will address the
needs of leadership training within the commercial real estate
industry by providing a comprehensive leadership development
program including the Leadership Lyceum program, and the
Advanced Leadership program.
Outreach: the Foundation will embark on an outreach
program to promote property management as a career in local
colleges and schools thus developing industry talent through
engagement at the collegiate level.
Big picture items on the immediate forefront are education
and engagement of the C-Suite to provide an opportunity
for feedback on BOMA programming
and advocacy, and to encourage
company involvement.
Also of note is that we will spend a lot
of time in 2016 preparing for the 2017 leg-
islative session. Property valuations and tax-
es are already targeted issues in the interim
session and Houston BOMA plans to be
heavily involved in the conversation. We will
also continue our public relations campaign
Taxed Out of Town to continue to spread
the word that commercial real estate really
does pay its fair share and to combat the
ongoing class warfare being promulgated
by the SEIU and other like organizations.
And last, but certainly not least, the SEIU
janitorial contract expires May 2016. SEIU
members have already been busy canvass-
ing buildings and distributing literature
advising building owners well in advance
they will be negotiating for $15 per hour.
The current hourly wage for Houston
janitors is $9.35. While Houston BOMA
CRE members do not employ janitors directly and thus have
no part in negotiations, this has not stopped the SEIU from
protesting against building owners directly. Houston BOMA
will monitor activities and provide necessary resources to our
members regarding protests and activities.
Heres to a happy, healthy 2016 to each of you! n

 By George Morgan
From the outside, the two-story Cook & Collins building looks like every other bar on
Foodie Find the Louisiana/Brazos strip. With neighbors like Pub Fiction and Gas Lamp close by its easy
to think its just simply another bar. Maybe its the area, or perhaps this reviewers lack of
Cook & Collins perceiving class, but all of these establishments on the strip are really starting to blend
Midtown together. But what makes Cook & Collins unique is its take on making sustainable local
2416 Brazos St ingredients into Fun American Fare.
Houston, TX 77006 If I had to explain Cook & Collins to
someone, I would compare the experience to
eating at a food truck on steroids. Comfort
food made from high quality ingredients.
With dishes like Mac & Cheese Crab Rolls
or Angry Birds, two dishes that are simple
yet stunning, but fare named and marketed
as if it was a culinary creation for the ages.
The crab rolls (quotations included) were
crunchy, cheesy, and full of flavor. While the
Angry Birds, which in reality were boneless
chicken thighs with sweet heat, pineapple,
almonds, and cilantro also were a hit for its
subtle but effective take on the classic buffalo
wing. Other appetizers include Duck Tacos
(exactly what it sounds like), Blacked Eyed
Hummus, and Red Eye Fries (thick-cut fries
with a buffalo/valentia kick and some egg) are
all excellent choices to start the evening.
When looking at entrees at Cook & Col-
lins, the specialties can be a bit tough to pick
out. American favorites like a 3 Cheese
Burger and sides like Crock O Mac & Cheese
rub elbows with lighter fare such as a Pear &
Pecan salad and the Quinoa Burger. Flat-
breads are a popular choice, as all of the flatbreads are inventive and fun as well as being
served on house crafted doughoh and theyre absolutely enormous. Huge.
Some personal favorites would be the Steak & Fries, which is literally a thick piece of
steak sliced and cooked to perfection with toasted garlic brown butter atop a mountain
of thick-cut fries. Needless to say this was a simple dish that really worked well. Another
delightful entre was the Ahi Tuna with chilled rice noodles, kimchi and pickled shitake
mushrooms. Wasnt super happy with the tuna portioning, but the overall dish compliment-
ed itself well enough for it not to matter.
For a quick and reasonably priced bite to eat on your way down Louisiana/Brazos, Cook
& Collins should definitely be given a try as it has figured out how to market themselves to
not only the trendy, but also the hungry. Learn more about Cook & Collins and view their
menu at www.cookandcollins.com. n
