Norris Conference Centers Now Open at CITYCENTRE

HOUSTON, May 7, 2009 — Midway Companies, a Houston-based privately owned, fully integrated real estate development and investment firm, announced that Norris Conference Centers opened today at the company’s CITYCENTRE project. The announcement was made Brad Freels, chairman and CEO of Midway Companies.

The 30,000-square-foot Norris Conference Centers offers eight meeting rooms, ranging from 1,700 square feet to 7,700 square feet. The facility, which was designed to meet the standards set forth by the International Association of Conference Centers (IACC), features ergonomic seating, full spectrum lighting, soundproofed meeting rooms and individual room thermostats. The Center offers a variety of menu options, including beverage services, continental breakfast, warm breakfast and lunch buffets, passed hors d’eouvers and plated dinners.

“Norris Conference Centers is a proven organization that brings a unique and incredibly useful facet to CITYCENTRE,” said Freels. “Those who attend events at the Conference Center will benefit from all of the project’s shopping, dining and entertainment options, and the companies that have offices at CITYCENTRE will have an outstanding meeting venue within walking distance.”

CITYCENTRE is a $500 million development and covers 1.8 million square feet. The new center reflects the next generation of mixed-use development and will be a distinct blend of elegant retail shops, fine dining, state-of-the art offices, distinct metropolitan homes and world-class hospitality, all in one 37-acre pedestrian-oriented environment. CITYCENTRE is located between I-10W and the Sam Houston Tollway/Beltway 8.  More information on the project is available at www.citycentrehouston.com.
