This project was a first-generation tenant finish-out of three floors. We partnered with Corgan and CBRE at the DD stage. Our careful pre-planning made it possible to be able to complete the project in 26 weeks.
This project spans 105,345 SF consisting of open office workspaces, custom millwork throughout, acoustic treatments, upholstered seating, demountable partitions with custom angular soffits, expansion of the existing balconies and an addition of a rooftop deck.
During the office finish-out project, the patio expansion was added. Our involvement began at the conceptual design stage, which was critical in identifying key project challenges and getting ahead of material procurement. Additionally, extensive value engineering took place at DD stage to help save $400K to reach the client’s desired budget. Extensive structural reinforcement was added to allow for additional roof load. We also extended the existing elevator and egress stair to the roof as required by code.
The rooftop patio features include a perforated perimeter screen to define the space, the exterior was a combination of thin limestone and metal paneling coupled with a Viracon Glass storefront, Mbrico pedestal paver system over the TPO roof with Turnesol planters, accent lighting, landscaping, trellis shading structures and perimeter railing. The addition of this feature came with heavy coordination with the ongoing finish-out below to add a monumental stair that provides access to the patio via ShipStation’s executive area.
This project was a multi-phased interior remodel located at the Midtown Medical Building. The aesthetic of the project was centered around custom-built, fluted solid surface paneling at several highly visible nurses station and reception. The project also included high-impact digital wall coverings to create a unique edge. The project added two laser rooms, a new procedure room and several other critical pieces to the existing surgery center.
First generation build-out of a medspa at Colinas Crossing consisting of a custom clay tile wall installation, custom reception desk and upholstered benches in the waiting area. The back of house areas included exam rooms with custom millwork and brass hardware accents throughout. The light and airy aesthetic continued into the restrooms, where we installed glazed and patterned tiles to create the ultimate spa environment.
Our early involvement was vital to the success of this project. The Sabre team provided budget assessments throughout all design phases and value engineering to meet Austin Skin’s goals.
Our recently completed Whole Foods Offices at 5th and Baylor project is a second-generation tenant improvement that was constructed simultaneously on levels 2, 3 and 4 of the downtown building spanning a total of 51,000 SF.

The high-end finishes in this space also feature acoustical baffles, architectural wood screens, breeze block installations, millwork with integral plantings and wall coverings.
Our early involvement in this project was vital for the success of this project. The project team provided constructability reviews, scheduling updates and budget assessments starting at the design development set and throughout all design phases, which brought this project to successful completion.

Fierce Whiskers Distillery was the ground-up, new construction of a 7,812-SF distillery building, a 5,541-SF five-story rickhouse, and all associated site work.
The distillery can boast being “grain to glass” as the whiskey is produced from an all in-house process at the state-of-the-art sustainable production facility. In addition to the buildings, Sabre was responsible for the installation of owner-provided equipment including but not limited to a still, fermenters, grain silos, chilled water systems, and the copper pot still from renowned Vendome Copper and Brass Works out of Louisville.
Along the south wall of the distillery, Sabre installed multiple glass garage doors that lead to an outdoor patio. The scope also features a tasting room accented with custom wood finishes.
Sabre’s latest project for Westlake Dermatology is a lush first-generation finish out at Belterra Village in Dripping Springs. This luxury dermatology office with multiple custom finishes, designed by the Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, marks the third project Sabre has completed for the dermatological clinic, in addition to their North Lamar office and a research facility on Bee Caves Road.
The 2,800 square foot renovation incorporates smooth, curved Venetian plaster walls that frame the reception area, crafted by specialty contractors whose scope spanned the ceilings and walls in the lobbies and corridors. The resulting work product gives the clinic soft, rounded curves that provide a sumptuous canvas for the high-end finishes that give it a spa-like feel. Other special features included the reception desk, Italian tile in the bathrooms, wooden paneling, doors, fixtures, and the terrazzo flooring. Elegant, hanging light fixtures illuminate the beautiful office with lighting controls that program the entire suite. The reception desk is one piece, bronze metal with a stone façade.
The completed medical office is a gem of a space that will serve Westlake Dermatology clients in the Dripping Springs region for years to come.
