Hewlett Packard Enterprise set to move into its new global headquarters in Spring

Hewlett Packard Enterprises is opening its new global headquarters north of Houston as construction wraps up soon on its 440,000 square-foot campus. Contractors are nearly finished with building out the campus and employees have started to move into the space on a voluntary basis, said Adam Bauer, HPE spokesman, in an email. HPE has about 2,200 employees in the Houston area, Bauer said, although he declined to say the exact number working out of the Spring campus. The new 60-acre campus is now the global headquarters for HPE, which announced its plans to relocate from California in December 2020. The campus is expected to become the company’s primary location for research and development, sales operations, supply chain, finance, human resources and marketing.

Because HPE still allows employees to work remotely, its campuses are expected to act like "collaborative cultural centers" where employees can gather for meetings and events, HPE's chief executive, Antonio Neri, previously said during a fall 2021 lecture hosted by Rice University’s Baker Institute. The new campus design include open, collaborative workspaces and lab space, where face-to-face interactions could boost the speed of innovation, Neri said. Hundreds of employees from San Jose to Houston were expected to move gradually over time once the campus opens, he said. Located at 1701 East Mossy Oaks Road, HPE’s new digs are about 26 miles north of downtown Houston within City Place, the mixed-use development formerly known as Springwoods Village where Exxon Mobil is also moving its headquarters. Developed by Patrinely Group, USAA Real Estate and CDC Houston, HPE’s campus includes two, five-story buildings connected by bridges at each level. The campus includes indoor and outdoor amenities, including a fully landscaped roof terrace overlooking a large central courtyard. It's also a LEED Silver certified campus, meaning it meets internationally recognized sustainable design standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council.
