There has been renovations to the building this company and this company moved to the 2nd floor. The new style is modern and upscale Perfect place to meet clients or take a selfie. The company is great and has been a part of new development projects in and around the Houston area. I know someone who works there and they also mention it is a wonderful place to work.
