<strong>Valero</strong> Headquarters<br />

Acquired from Ultramar Diamond Shamrock in December 2001, <strong>Valero</strong> Energy Corporation’s current home at One <strong>Valero</strong> Way<br />

sits in a wooded area of northwest San Antonio. The 148-acre, renovated <strong>Valero</strong> campus includes two new office buildings, a<br />

remodeled main building and expanded parking facilities. The 700,000 square foot complex features an exterior made of Texas<br />

limestone.<br />

<strong>Valero</strong>’s first home was located in downtown San Antonio. By August 1979, <strong>Valero</strong> Tower One was occupied and a second tower<br />

had begun construction. The buildings were sold to PG&E as part of a spin-merger in 1997. In October 1997, <strong>Valero</strong> broke ground<br />

on a new site, One <strong>Valero</strong> Place, and reached capacity by the time it was finished in December 1998. A second building, Two <strong>Valero</strong><br />

Place, was completed in March 2000. The buildings were sold to San Antonio Water System (SAWS) in 2001 for $<strong>30</strong> million.<br />

A third and final move to <strong>Valero</strong>’s current headquarters was one of the biggest in company history, taking a year to complete.<br />
