Project
Capital Tower
MLN Company will be teaming up with Skanska Construction on the Capitol Tower project to provide the HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Protection systems at this new Class A office building to be located at 800 Capitol in Downtown Houston.
Designed by architectural firm Gensler, Capitol Tower offers 754,000 square feet of office space and an expansive, two-level, open-air atrium that features more than 26,000 square feet of one-of-a-kind retail and restaurant space. This unique lobby area will connect the building’s street level to the active pedestrian tunnel system, creating a dramatic light-filled gathering place that will serve as a destination for tenants as well as all Houstonians downtown.
Specifically created and developed by Skanska for Houston businesses, Capitol Tower is a smart, forward-thinking technological achievement that not only accommodates tenants’ needs, but anticipates them, providing a productive work environment where people and business can thrive.
