History

On July 1, 1983 Continental Airlines's headquarters were located at the America Tower, and would remain there until relocation to Downtown Houston in 1998 and 1999. Stephen M. Wolf, the president of Continental said that the company moved its headquarters because Houston became the largest hub for Continental. During the existence of Texas Air Corporation in the 1980s, its headquarters were in the America Tower. In September 1997, Continental announced that it would move its headquarters to Continental Center I. Continental had occupied approximately in space in the America Tower before its lease expired in July 1998. In 1998 Andersen Consulting, now Accenture, announced that it would consolidate its existing Downtown Houston and suburban workforces into in the America Tower, with more than 1,100 employees based in the space. Lynn Cook of the ''Houston Business Journal'' described this as "an astonishing number for the size of Andersen Consulting's lease." In 1999, realty firm Cushman & Wakefield moved its Houston office into the America Tower from the Wells Fargo Tower of Four Oaks Place in Uptown Houston. As of 1999 the building was 99% leased.
