Red Oak Plaza

Red Oak One is a mixed use building nestled gently into the sloping hillside just east of I-35 on Wonder World Drive in beautiful San Marcos, Texas. The 14,500 square feet two-story building includes office space and retail. The site plan includes an additional building for future construction.

The building structure is all steel from floor to  ceiling. As there are entire facade is made of horizontal and vertical windows, mullions were lined up all the way around the building.

University Medical Center Brackenridge, Psychiatric Emergency Department

This project included the remodel of the existing Mother/Baby unit within the fully operational University Medical Center Brackenridge to create a Psychiatric Emergency Department. All work was completed while keeping the 24-Hour facility 100% operational. The new space includes seven new assessment rooms, ten observation rooms, a new exterior entry, a waiting room for patients and families, as well as the associated support and circulation spaces.

Due to the nature of the patients, extreme attention to detail was paid to ensure all installations were anti-ligature.

This project was part of Senator Kirk Watson’s 10 Goals in 10 Years plan to provide better psychiatric care and facilities to Central Texas.

Sadler East, Medical Office Building

This project is a ground up two story medical office building. The building provides much needed “Class A” office space to the San Marcos Area. Sadler East was designed as an MOB but also is flexible enough to satisfy the needs of standard office clients if needed.  Comprised of a structural steel frame the building has a masonry and stucco veneer. The lobby finishes included brushed copper panels and hanging wood ceilings. Construction scope included the core finish out and lobby.

NCSOFT

45K SF renovation of a three story building located at 6801 N. Capital of Tx Highway. The remodel of their existing office space was completed in two phases over the course of eleven months with employees being moved within and between buildings to allow for construction. The first phase was a remodel of the ground and second floors that included the build-out of a new ground floor server room and relocation of the existing equipment from the second floor without affecting business operations.

The second phase was the gut and remodel of the second floor that included a new Network Operations Center. During the Value Engineering process, Sabre was able to keep the project under budget by changing to CRAC units rather than the specified split system.

Even though Sabre and Carson Design Associates worked through two complete redesigns that took place during construction, the project still completed ahead of schedule. Sabre worked hand-in-hand with the architect, engineer, furniture vendor, and the client to keep all last minute redesigns from delaying the project.

The result of the project was a sophisticated new office to match the high end technology center that NCSOFT needed to keep operations running.

Perry’s Steakhouse, Bar Renovation

This project included the renovation of the interior dining and bar area of Perry’s Restaurant and Bar in downtown Austin.

The newly created Learning Commons is located in the Perry-Castaneda Library (PCL) building at The University of Texas at Austin campus. The new Learning Commons is open to all students and is located on the entry level of the Library. This project allowed the relocation of existing services and resources and launched new services that enable students to create new knowledge by finding, evaluating, synthesizing and presenting research. The design facilitates productive collaboration among staff working in these learning areas for the benefit of all students and faculty.

The 19,500 square foot renovation was designed to replace the existing library offices to allow for research, writing, digital media lab, oral communications, tutoring and academic support, and statistical consultations. In addition, the space contains technology, instruction, cross-training, and bookable spaces as well as several active learning classrooms and restrooms.

The finished space includes high-end finishes, with some areas having equipment and paint finishes up to the structural floor above, measuring 18 feet tall. Much of the MEP and finishes work was accomplished from scaffolds and motorized lift equipment. The high end lighting and complex IT and audiovisual components uses current technology with both wired and wireless solutions for staff work equipment, classrooms, and lab computer and A/V equipment.

This fast paced, high-end finish Learning Commons has created the state of the art space desired by the University of Texas at Austin. It provides services that will promote learning and research as well as serving the state’s citizens with a modern environment to accomplish it.

Scott Douglass & McConnico

Located in the new Class A Colorado Tower in downtown Austin, this tenant finish out was split over two floors for the Scott, Douglass & McConnico law firm. The finished space was outfitted with high end finishes throughout.

The space includes an internal steel stair clad in high end decorative wood with glass railing.  A full height feature wall composed of mixed depth plaster in a chevron design runs the full height of the stairs from the 24th floor ground to slightly below deck of the 25th floor. The glass walled conference rooms keep the space both airy and modern. Advanced security features included secured access throughout.

Creative Action

This wood frame building was created for the local, educational non-profit creative center for local children, Creative Action. Composed of structural steel with a structural masonry wall running the length of the building, this unique building is truly a sight to see.

The space includes classrooms and teaching areas on the first floor with administration and material storage on the second.

The Sabre team was able to lead the Value Engineering process to ensure the project was under budget while still performing up to the owner’s needs. The site constraints, including existing buildings and adjacent railway, meant that Sabre had to coordinate subcontractor schedules to not overload the site.
