This project added a ground-up expansion to the Postpartum wing and renovated a portion of the Labor and Delivery department within the active Seton Medical Center Hays in Kyle, TX. The addition created 8,700 square feet of new space and our team renovated 900 square feet of the existing OB unit.
The final product includes 14 postpartum rooms with attached bathrooms, clean utility, storage, offices, a medication room, break room, work area, restrooms and a newly created section of the healing garden. The Sabre team updated the outdoor healing garden and added a concrete labyrinth for patients, families, and doctors, designed by Stantec.
This ground-up retail park in Kyle, Texas, is comprised of three 10,000-square-foot shell buildings. Each building is composed of a steel structure with EIFS and masonry exteriors. Framing their entrances, each building features two focal point towers made of slab-to-parapet vertical stacked masonry. Site work includes parking and the installation of a playscape with large architectural canopies. Value engineering efforts significantly lowered project costs, from underground utilities and irrigation to building materials.
Current tenants of the new retail center include the Texican Café, Aviator Pizza, and WellMed.
When Deep Eddy Vodka outgrew their production facilities in Dripping Springs, they worked with our team to convert a 120,000 square foot empty warehouse in Buda to suit their needs. This project included a 12,000 square foot interior remodel to create office space as well as a taste testing lab and bar. In addition to office space, the building now includes their bottling lines and warehouse space. Upgrades to the process mechanical piping were required to allow for the installation of multiple stills as well as the boilers and chillers required to control the temperature. Building upgrades included the reroofing, insulation, and addition of fire sprinklers.

The Saint Vincent project included the renovation of the former St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop and new construction of the three-story Saint Vincent building. This adaptive mixed-use building occupies 19,870 square feet in the historic South Congress District of Austin, Texas. The building features 9,060 square feet of retail at street level and 10,810 square feet of creative office space on the top two floors.
Construction included the reworking of the intersection with traffic signals and pedestrian walkways that required extensive coordination with the City of Austin Traffic Department. Extreme care and extensive monitoring took place throughout the project to protect the two heritage oak trees within the site.

A pneumatic tube system was installed and tied in to the hospital’s network to facilitate the quick and efficient transport of medication to the unit. The finish out also featured an on-call room, staff break room, nourishment room for patient families, and medical storage.

FAQs – Improvements to the West Mall Building
Due to extraordinary population growth in the region, Sabre was contracted to build out the fifth-floor patient tower shell space of Seton Medical Center Hays to make room for more patients in the Kyle facility. The completed project accommodates 30 more beds and up to 60 additional employees. The added space improves Seton’s capability to treat trauma, recruit physicians and features a centralized dialysis space. In order to access the fifth-floor patient tower without using patient elevators, we were required to use a buck hoist (outdoor elevator) to deliver materials and workers to the job site.

This first generation interior finish out was completed on the fourteenth floor of Shoal Creek Walk building located in downtown Austin. The completed space includes two separate offices of sister companies as well as the elevator lobby and corridor between. Both offices were uniquely designed with each featuring high-end finishes, lighting packages, and design elements throughout. Each tenant had its own distinctive reception area, break room and conference room as well as a mixture of executive style individual offices and open office space.
This project was completed while the base building was still under construction and our team was able to work through extremely limited access to an elevator but were able to still complete the project with minimal disruption. Both offices were suited to comply with the AEGB 2-Star rated building.
