The beautifully revived building—once home to the iconic Sears showroom, itself a modern marvel in 1939—is today a sunlit structure of steel and glass designed to bring Houston’s entrepreneurial, corporate, and academic communities into collaborative spaces and programs. A place for turning imagination and ideas into tangible realities. From Fortune 500s seeking flexible office space to first-time startups looking for the funding to build a prototype, the Ion invites individuals and teams of all kinds to a place where they can break with convention, break into the tech scene, or simply break up their day with a coffee and easy atmosphere. Anyone is welcome at any time.
