I think pulling hyper-local arts and culture are more important now than ever. Authenticity is expected and the idea of a contrived composition no longer validates a sense of place. We strive to create something original and timeless in all we do that ultimately gives our owners a better ROI and NOI. We always think of their money like it’s our money. I also think sustainability and innovation with respect to the same is top of mind for most travelers. People want to protect Mother Earth and our value on projects and ownership that share these values.”

Design elements inspired by indigenous Texas flora and fauna include cool, crisp blues that reflect the opulence of Texas Topaz and the bountiful surrounding lakes, and porcelain tile that nods to the earthy tones of sage and cactus. Touches of leather in warm brown and amber tones evoke the nostalgia of the property’s past as a ranch, with stitching details reminiscent of saddle craftsmanship.”

Senior Structural Engineer Jake Zach
All told, the project succeeded because it set and met an aggressive fast-track design and construction schedule covering everything from construction to design to submittal requirements. The schedule, which included early owner and construction manager input, was feasible largely because of the steel erection’s speed and flexibility. The project is set for completion in the winter of 2025 and will serve its patients, staff, and community for many years.
