NewForm Real Estate completed a multi-million-dollar restoration of 917 Franklin, the historic Commercial National Bank Building. One of the earliest skyscrapers in Houston’s original financial district, the six-story building has just over 50,000 square feet of space.
Completed in 1904, the building stands in Main&Co, a district of restored historic buildings along Main Street between Commerce and Franklin streets.
The Commercial National Bank Building is designated a City of Houston landmark and is a contributing structure within the Main Street Market Square Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The restoration included extensive exterior façade work, window repairs, masonry cleaning, and upgraded lighting.
Interior improvements feature a redesigned lobby with restored plaster detailing and dentil moldings, modernized building systems, and updated office suites with new lighting, audio-visual infrastructure, and kitchenettes. Original elements were preserved and restored wherever possible.Â
