KBS has completed the disposition of 1800 Bering, a Class A office tower in Houston. The 10-story building totals 171,510 square feet and was acquired by local private equity firm DML Capital. The property is situated in Houston just west of The Galleria, a location surrounded by a dense mix of commercial uses.
During its ownership period, KBS carried out a program of capital improvements at 1800 Bering aimed at refreshing the common areas and enhancing the tenant experience. The work included upgrades to the lobbies on every floor, the installation of new elevator cabs, and improvements to shared corridors and other common spaces. KBS also updated the property’s monument signage and undertook a comprehensive redesign of the landscaping.
The building offers a range of on-site amenities intended to support modern office users. These include a micro market for grab-and-go food and beverage options, a dedicated tenant lounge, and a conference center that provides flexible meeting space. An outdoor patio gives tenants additional space for informal meetings or breaks. Beyond the property line, the surrounding area offers walkable access to retail, fitness, hospitality, and entertainment options, reflecting the amenity-rich environment near The Galleria.
On the capital markets side of the transaction, JLL Capital Markets served as advisor to the seller. JLL’s Kevin McConn and Marty Hogan represented KBS in the sale of 1800 Bering, marketing the asset and arranging the disposition to DML Capital.
Broader Houston office investment activity has shown resilience, according to JLL. The firm reports that the metro’s office transactional volume reached 9.7 million square feet in 2025, an increase from 9.5 million square feet recorded in 2024. Class A assets, such as 1800 Bering, accounted for the majority of this trading volume, underscoring ongoing investor focus on higher-quality product in the market.
The sale of 1800 Bering adds another Class A office trade to the recent tally of Houston transactions, aligning with the broader pattern of activity highlighted by JLL’s market data.
