Common Desk – POST Houston is open for business! POST has transformed Houston’s historic Barbara Jordan United States Post Office into an ultimate commercial and cultural destination. The 550,000 sq ft building anchors around three distinct districts—retail, dining, and collaborative office space—plus, a 6-acre rooftop park with panoramic skyline views of downtown Houston. We’re thrilled to be the flexible office provider powering the office atrium of the building. Common Desk – POST Houston caters to the growing and diverse community of Houston and its surrounding cities. This location boasts 24,000 sq ft of shared space, private offices, and flexible office suites, and with amenities like bottomless craft coffee, a 32-seat training room, custom collaboration areas, and large conference rooms, we’re betting that everyone can find something to love here at Common Desk – POST Houston.
