Arena Place

Arena Place is a complex including two office towers and a theater located in Sharpstown, Southwest Management District, Houston, Texas.[1] It was built in Sharpstown Commercial Park.[2]

The complex, located on Highway 59 and (Southwest Freeway), includes One & Two Arena Place, two 19-story towers each with about 390,000 square feet (36,000 m2) of space, the Arena Theatre, a live performance theater with a 2,850 seats, and two nine story parking garages with a total of 2,200 spaces.[3] Due to the facility's circular shape, all of its seats are no further than 65 feet (20 m) from the stage. Because of the presence of the garages, the theater has on-site parking.[4] The complex has a two-story,[5] 6,000 square feet (560 m2) office tower penthouse.[6] The complex is located near PlazAmericas (formerly Sharpstown Mall).[5] The concession stands are located inside the theater.[7] The complex, which has Class A office space, is located in proximity to the 610 Loop, Beltway 8, and the Westpark Tollway.[8]
