HOUSTON – Kenai Capital Advisors (“Kenai”) today announced the successful sale of 9801 Westheimer Road, a 212,859-square-foot office tower situated on 5.36 acres in the Westchase submarket of Houston, Texas. The office tower sold on December 10, 2025, through a competitive Real Insight auction process. The buyer, a private investor, was unrepresented in the transaction.
Kenai, acting as the exclusive advisor to the seller, orchestrated an aggressive marketing campaign that resulted in 14 qualified bidders and strong demand from local operators focused on discounted basis and future upside. The asset’s history of institutional ownership, strong submarket and strong location offer significant repositioning and lease-up potential.
Originally built in 1981 and renovated in 2015, 9801 Westheimer Road was approximately 28% leased at closing. The current rent roll includes a mix of national and regional tenants such as State Farm, Resort Vacations, PTG, Avalon Suites, and Entrust Solutions Group. The site features 11 stories, quality views, a modern lobby, key card access, and an on-site deli. It also provides immediate access to Sam Houston Tollway, Interstate 610 and Interstate 69 as well as visibility from the bustling Westheimer Road. This coupled with the surrounding dense mix of retail, dining and hospitality amenities, makes it a great driver for tenants seeking connectivity and demand from top talent.
“Houston’s office recovery is well underway, and tenants are increasingly looking to Westchase for its strong location and cost advantage,” said Canyon Law of Kenai Capital Advisors. “9801 Westheimer was acquired by a local owner-operator with deep knowledge of the submarket, who continues to capitalize on today’s low office values and generate outsized returns across Houston”
