401 East Houston St. (Burns Building) is a ±53,800-sf restored office building located at the northeast corner of East Houston and Jefferson streets in downtown San Antonio. The historic building is situated at the heart of the central business district, which is one of the city’s most dynamic submarkets for new development and re-development of historic buildings. The Burns Building was constructed in 1919 and was home to the J.C. Penney department store for many years. Until the 1980s, this section of Houston St. was the premier retail district in San Antonio. The building’s most recent owner AREA Real Estate, a local development firm, immaculately restored the Building in 2018. The renovations completed for tenant spaces and common areas enhanced the historic building architecture with creative office aesthetics.
