Catch a quick glimpse of this sleek campus with its curved glass, aluminum fins and interconnected skyways, and you might be reminded of a plane landing at the FedEx superhub at the Memphis International Airport. Actually, you’ve set your sights on a whole new kind of hub, centered on the Fortune 500 giant’s thousands of employees. From the exterior’s angular elements and strong repetitive linear patterns to the cutting edge infrastructure, the FedEx World HQ eight-building campus effectively captures the sense of forward momentum that characterizes the corporation’s culture and market presence. The buildings incorporate key elements important to the company’s employees including: open floor plans, access to exterior views, blending the campus with the landscape of the surrounding golf course, and ease of connectivity throughout the 89-acre campus and 1.1 million square feet of office space.

Horizon West is one of the fastest-growing master-planned communities nationwide. Comprising over 10,000 acres in Orange County, Florida, it is home to five designated mixed-use villages, including the Village of Bridgewater, Lakeside Village, Hickory Nut, Ovation Village and Seidel Village, all surrounded by greenbelts. Over the past 25 years, we have completed all aspects of land surveying and utilities design and coordination for this multi-phased master planned community and have platted nearly 90% of the entire project, encompassing +/-30,000 lots for single and multi-family homes, commercial shopping centers, movie theatres and restaurants. The project serves a dynamic and growing Central Florida area focused at the edge of Orlando’s Western Beltway.
One of downtown Houston’s most iconic buildings, the historic Texaco Headquarters Building was restored and converted to upscale apartments. The redevelopment project helped reshape the image of Houston’s city center as a place to live, not just work. The project includes ground-level retail and structured parking for 750 cars. A rooftop amenity deck atop the new parking structure will offer residents the social and recreational opportunities most requested in new urban living. All four sides of the property capitalize on the city’s established pedestrian or light rail transportation systems, and will tie into the Houston Tunnel system, an interconnected series of air-conditioned underground walkways, restaurants and shops spanning six miles.
