THE WOODLANDS, TX - The development of Research Forest Lakeside is moving along with Building 4 and a parking garage well under construction on the 77-acre site in the master-planed community of The Woodlands, Texas.

Warmack Investments is developing Research Forest Lakeside, a project that will consist of 11 Class A office buildings situated along the banks of Lake Woodlands in the Village of Panther Creek for a total of 1.9 million square feet in office space. Also included on the site will be 36,000 square feet of retail space on the corner of Research Forest Drive and Lakeside Boulevard.

Building 4, James Warmack said, will be 12-story Class A office building with 300,000 square feet.

The Woodlands-based Talisman Energy, which occupies Building 2, will move into the top six floors of Building 4 when it is complete, Warmack said. As for the rest of the building, he has not inked any leases but has had a great deal of interest in the space. The building is expected to be ready for move-in around May 2013.

The campus already is home to two Aon Hewitt buildings (1 and 3).

Construction on Building 5 will begin in March 2013 and will be eight stories with 200,000 square feet of office space. According to Warmack, Repsol USA will occupy that entire building.

Buildings 4, 5 and the seven-story parking garage will all be centered around a ""halo"" that will allow people to walk from the garage to the buildings under a covered walkway.
