Texas Children's Hospital and The Methodist Hospital have completed construction on two hospitals and medical office buildings totaling over 1.2 million square feet of improvements in Ten Oaks. The first phase of the new Texas Medical Center - West Campus involves an investment of over $500 million, and encompasses a tract of land roughly equal to that of the original Texas Medical Center Campus. 

 

The West Campus is situated in the West Houston Energy Corridor, the central business district in the greater west Houston metropolitan area. Located in the immediate vicinity of the West Campus are corporate or division headquarters for major companies such as BP, Conoco/Phillips, Shell Oil, Exxon/Mobil Chemicals U.S.A., Cabot Oil and Gas, Global Santa Fe, Transocean, and Diamond Offshore Drilling. The Corridor is home to numerous non-energy companies as well, including Sysco, The Wood Group/Mustang Engineering, Sitel Corporation and Aker Solutions.

 

Major employers are attracted to convenient access by the well-educated workforce found surrounding the Corridor and the variety and quality of housing opportunities in the area.
