It is adjacent to the St. Regis Hotel and a private park, offering quiet walking trails and mature shade trees, and a few blocks from the River Oaks District, a popular shopping, dining, and entertainment destination.

"We are excited to move Weaver's headquarters to Five Post Oak Park and how it provides our employees access to great amenities, greenspaces, and a park-like environment in the middle of the Galleria area," said John Mackel, Weaver's CEO and Manager Partner. "We selected [the building] because of CP Group's vision for the property and what is offers to our team members and clients. We're excited about the investment they are making and the fact that it allows Weaver to bring our best-in-class office vision to the Houston market."

In addition to its private park and immediate hotel access, Five Post Oak Park offers a host of amenities, including a multi-use conferencing facility and a 3,000-square-foot fitness center. CP Group's planned improvement program calls for the modernization of the building's lobby ? including the addition of a new coffee shop and restaurant space.
