Jing and Deborah joined the packed house at Bisnow’s Women Leading on Finance “Leaning Into Relationship Building” event. The panelists shared their journeys into commercial real estate financing in Houston’s uber-competitive and male-dominated industry.
Deborah took to the CREMM red carpet in her best Roaring 20s attire for the most dapper event of the holiday season. What a memorable night at the Haworth Showroom visiting with commercial real estate industry friends. It was the bee’s knees!
Despite the recent darkness, the light of Christ is still visible. Jing and husband Warren, faithful members of Second Baptist Church, recently attended the congregational Angel of Light event. Volunteers gathered to serve warm meals and provide gifts to 6,700+ people. It was a shining example of the true meaning of Christmas. The heavens declare the glory of God!
A toast to an all-remote team! The annual PRISM holiday dinner is always a festive gathering for our local team and the wonderful people who support each of us. Perry’s Steakhouse is a favorite spot for us to indulge in decadent food and luxurious surroundings. Cheers to another joyous year!
Location, location, location. Earlier this year, Parkway Fellowship Church in Katy, Texas snagged an affordable 14-acre parcel in the heart of Old Katy. And now a capital campaign is in high gear to build a new campus to increase their reach into the explosive growth happening around them. With a new Worship Center and Children's Ministry Building, Parkway Fellowship is planting the seeds for Legacy. It is their gift in the present to shape the future of God’s expanded kingdom in Katy. StudioRed Architects designed the project and tapped PRISM to develop their vision into renderings for the capital campaign.
In the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, we’re told, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Though Jeremiah wrote these words to the exiles in Babylon, their intent endures for the ages – God has bigger plans. First Baptist Church Tomball knew this to be true when they purchased 32 acres of farmland 20 years ago. With a campus master plan already complete, the congregation is now fundraising for the first project phase, a new Worship Center.
Seven Coves originated along the shores of Lake Conroe, but its tenets of community in connection with the landscape have since permeated the surrounding area. Parkside Capital continues to develop their project in the area, at I-45 and FM 830, The Spur at Seven Coves. The next phases at their 183-acre multi-use development near Willis High School are breaking ground soon. CDA Architects developed the site plan. KGA Deforest Design serves as the landscape architect. Johnson Design Group conceived the conceptual architecture design, and PRISM developed aerial view renderings and renderings superimposed onto drone photos to communicate the project scope and quality for municipal approval.
It’s estimated the shortage of single-family homes in the U.S. is 3.8 million. An amount close to the total population of Los Angeles. Houston developer Kaplan Multifamily is part of the build-to-rent (BTR) surge working to address this issue. Their newest BTR development, the Villas at Creekside, is a 183-unit community in the picturesque Hill Country city of New Braunfels. Residents will enjoy all the comforts of a single-family home, plus engaging amenities to foster connection within the community. The Clerkley Watkins Group designed the homes and community buildings. Kaplan commissioned PRISM for a promotional animation video and several interior and exterior renderings. The result of this team effort is a clear vision of a better community.
The Houston Rockets may be languishing this year, but their halftime shows are keeping things exciting! Jing and 200+ of her Zumba friends took over the court for a masterclass performance during halftime to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. It was also Houston Rockets Veteran’s Night, making it extra special.
Midway’s East River 9 was the perfect place for the SMPS Launch Houston event. Several local CRE leaders shared their insights on what we can expect in Houston development and infrastructure in 2024. Deborah connected with many PRISM clients and friends.
