History
In 1993 Sanchez-O'Brien Oil & Gas leased an additional 21,828 square feet (2,027.9 m2) of space in the building. During that year other tenants included BHP Petroleum (the U.S. subsidiary of Broken Hill Proprietary Co.), Maxxam, and Texas Commerce Bank-Tanglewood. The building had served as the U.S. headquarters of BHP. Later in 1993 BHP announced that it was moving its U.S. headquarters, including 200 clerical and professional employees, from San Felipe Plaza to the Cigna Tower, one building in Four Oaks Place. The Consulate of Canada in Houston opened in the building in 2003.
