Tenants

The building is named for American petroleum and natural gas exploration company Marathon Oil. The company was headquartered in this building for over thirty years, until it relocated in 2021.[3] The building has since undergone a rebranding process and is now officially known as 5555 San Felipe.[4][5] In addition Aon Corporation has its Houston offices in the tower.[6]
