They're leaving Denver after 25 years because Socal is where the new CEO lives. Amazing he can just say "eh, yeah, time to go, I'm not flying back and forth. Nope." Amazing. He's like a new sports team owner.
Well he has been hailed as the savior and he did raise the stock price by about 33% in a few months. And he is positioning this as a beneficial move for consolidation and attracting talent.
This is what I read in the news, maybe it wasn't the global headquarters, my mistake.
I'm surprised that SC Johnson didn't move around Highland Park or Lake Forest. Skokie might be the furthest south for current employees living in Wisconsin to feasibly commute.

This shows that the Energy industry is consolidating to Houston. New Orleans is taking the brunt of relocations to Houston. Shell just consolidated some New Orleans jobs to Houston a couple years ago.

They left Chicago for the same reason when they moved to Denver, the last CEO traded Hinsdale for Colorado. Live by the sword...........
You are talking about something else. Chipotle started in Denver.
McDonald's had acquired majority stake in Chipotle and then spun it off. A house a few houses down from an acquaintance in suburban Chicago was sold by an officer of Chipotle when it was spun off along with a few other McDonald's holdings. Chipotle would not be a fraction of the company that it is today without the huge infusion of McDonald's money that was invested in the company for expansion; there was certainly a Chipotle presence in McDonald's HQ at the time in Oakbrook.

As Big Oil that boomed it seems to have left out downtown Houston .... luckily not the city. I would have hoped that Big Oil would have given back more to the city with investing in its core that it failed to make it a premier core in the Nation .... Yet. Always hope it will get there...... But even Uptown steals a lot. As most Top Shopping is there like the Galleria and International hotels. Just too far apart to complement each other better.
I could see more a Rail line ... heavy rail as in a elevated line uniting theses CBD's too for the futures. IMO. But takes planning and tax dollars. Look to a Dubai, Bangkok and Singapore for new elevated ideas.
Maybe Elon Musk and hid tunnel shuttle Chicago is getting. Seems he is financing the billion dollar project with investors that the city embraced and seems less red tape then some cities have. Still another idea to truly bring Houston more global recognition it craves. Connecting two cores to complement each other. Of course, you want more guaranteed ridership of people along this corridor and living in them to use it.
I'd say these before a Dallas Houston one even? Much less distance to get a boost from.
