Expansive Theater District, Houston TX

I am the COO of Urban Luxe Properties and moved into Novel in August. My team and I absolutely love everything about it. We are located in the Theater District and enjoy the close proximity to different Downtown Attractions. The staff is very friendly and helpful and will respond to any of my questions in a quick and timely manner. I love the vibe of Novel and the fun activities they offer! I would highly recommend any small business or entrepreneur to lease space at this location! Contact myself for more details on how you can be my neighbor!

Great location, people, facility, place to work and meet people.and a great value.
I get so much more done when I come in as opposed to thinking I'm going to get work done at home.

I'm very glad we chose this location because of how central it is. Access is easy for clients and our staff. The facilities are great too, and so is the management. Kris Thomas is always very helpful and ready to assist us.

Kris Thomas, the community manager, creates a relaxed and inviting atmosphere at Novel.

Her ability to foster networking opened new opportunities and relationships for me. Not only is she professionally savvy, but she's truly invested in the well-being of community members.

I've even seen her personally go from office to office to find a charger for someone.

The only draw back of this location is that there is no attached parking garage.

Love the look and location, parking is.downtown parking. Cool things like the snack bar, wifi, printing/copying, shredding, being co close to other businesses make this co-working space a gem.
But I really was sold on this space for my company because of the Center Manager Kris! Throughout the whole process she has been a visionary and very innovative, from ideas about designing my space to promoting my company. She's always available when we need her and keeps the property well maintained and fun with the networking events!

The Theater District location has a very friendly and hip atmosphere that is inviting to me and my patients. The manager, Kris, is extremely helpful and supporting while I grow my small business! I highly recommend this location!

Great place to work at if you're looking for a workspace. Staff makes you feel real welcomed. You're the best Erin! Would recommend to anyone.

This is a great work space! Kris was especially helpful getting my team all set up and she has continued to go above and beyond for me and others in the building. This was a great choice for a co-working space.

I'm very upset that I have to write this review. I was the first tenant to ever lease a space in this Houston building's 7th floor back when it was only a concept in early 2016. I've been a loyal tenant for 3 years and have seen the many management changes and tenants through time. Recently, my wife and I got pregnant, so I decided to temporarily move out of my space and into my home office to help my wife out through pregnancy. Knowing that I still had some time left in my contract, I reached out to the sales manager to see if there was a way to pay a fee to get out of the contract or if I could sublease the space. To my surprise, she said I could sublease the space and post it on craigslist or social media. So I did just that, and also left a sign in the office for anyone interested, also approved by management. I still had meetings scheduled and plans to work there from time to time, so subleasing was not a priority or a major concern. I let the building manager know that I was moving out temporarily and that I would come by from time to time to work. A couple of days after, I received an e-mail saying that I had moved out of my office and relocated to the 5th floor. A dark corner office nowhere comparable to my office on the 7th floor where the kitchen and co-working space is. After that, I was told that I would not be moved back to my office and that the office on the 5th floor was the approved office for me and my company. To top it off, I was accused of breaching the contract for posting a sublease sign, after the sales manager told me that I could do so. I am now stuck with an office that does not work for my business model and type of clientele, while I still have a contract for a space that someone else is renting with my curtains and all. I had a great time while I was here, but it is evident that at the end of the day, the interest for this company is not in its tenants, but its pockets instead. I have been backstabbed by a company I invested so much time on.

I shopped around at several locations before selecting Novel and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I really like the downtown location, the vibe, amenities, and management (Kris and Erin) have exceeded my expectations not to mention the price point was exactly what I needed just starting out in my business. Parking took a minute to figure out but now I’m very happy with the arrangements. Great place to be for startups and for the more seasoned business owners.

I have absolutely loved my coworking experience at Novel! I have been a member for 6 months now, and I am very happy with the space, pricing and management (Erin & Kris are wonderful!). Novel is conveniently located next to a food court (with a Starbucks as well) and only a few blocks away from their other location on Main Street.

This is a great work environment with friendly, familiar faces that you see every day. I would absolutely recommend Novel to any freelancer or business owner in Houston!
