WHAT’S HAPPENING

9821 RENOVATIONS

MetroNational is making major upgrades to the first and second floors at 9821 Katy Freeway, enhancing functionality while elevating the overall aesthetic.

The renovation project has begun with an estimated duration of 10 months. Construction will occur in phases to minimize disruption. Phase I will include the skybridge and surrounding landscape and hardscape, followed by Phase II, which will address the exterior curtain wall, primary entrances, and additional outdoor improvements. The building will remain open and accessible throughout, with a temporary overhead walkway and construction fencing in place to ensure a safe, seamless experience for tenants and visitors.

BUILDING ACCESS & ALTERNATE TRAVEL PATHS – PHASE II

Effective Monday, July 27, 2026, the following access changes will be in place as part of Phase II:

All tenants, visitors, and deliveries must enter and exit the building through the Skybridge Entrance.

The Main Lobby entrance/exit will be temporarily closed.

When parking in the garage, access to the building will require proceeding to the third floor of the garage and entering through the Skybridge Entrance.

Please refer to the map outlining construction zones and alternate travel routes. On-site signage will be posted throughout the property to assist with navigation.
