Congratulations to our Vice President of Operations, Sarah Amos, on her 10th work anniversary! I'm thrilled to announce that she has been promoted to President for PRISM Renderings. Sarah and I share a special bond that goes beyond our professional relationship. We are not just colleagues but Sisters in Christ and dear friends. Our journey started long before she joined our team when we met at a Bible study class in our church. What drew me to Sarah was her genuine, nature, integrity, and honesty. She is one of the kindest and most humble people I know, and I'm grateful to have her as a friend and a colleague.
Numbers don’t lie. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, Fulshear is officially the fastest-growing city in Texas. In 2010, the population was a mere 1,134 residents. As of July 2022, it skyrocketed past 34,000. Venterra Realty will welcome new Fulshear residents home to Camber Ridge at Cross Creek Ranch, a Class A apartment community within Cross Creek Ranch.
In the bustling community of Katy, Texas, where growth is as vibrant as the springtime blooms, a beacon of compassionate care is preparing for a new chapter. Since January of 2016, Dr. Yasmine Monib, and her husband, Ahmed have built a successful family-run practice. The choice of the name "Springtime Pediatrics" is more than just a catchy title; it embodies the spirit of birth, growth, and nurturing that defines the practice's mission and they are ready to flourish even further with a brand new location.

Q1 is now behind us, but our commitment to the industry remains steadfast. We actively participate in industry events and maintain close client relationships to stay updated on market trends and seize opportunities to add value. PRISM’s work with construction and design-build firms has been on the rise. This growth underscores the need for tailored solutions, including options like multiple finish schemes, to facilitate alignment among all involved parties.
This past Saturday was a special day. I attended the 50th anniversary of the Rice University Jones Graduate School of Business and the Alumni Reunion 2024 while celebrating my birthday. It was fantastic to reconnect with fellow alums, hear Dean Peter Rodrigos's latest updates on new programs and the upcoming building expansion, and revisit the very classroom where my MBA journey began.
Garage Ultimate is expanding with one new building for more garage condos. No, it’s not a typo. Garage Ultimate is a unique real estate concept of garage condos. Think of it as a luxury boutique hotel for cars and other “toys.” Located just over a mile off of I-45 in Friendswood, Garage Ultimate opened its first building in 2020 with 39 units, and in 2022 added another 21 units. Owners Nick and Jerry Deutsch are planning to expand to five buildings with 14 premium garage condos boasting mezzanines, balconies with views of the golf course, and expansive windows inviting in natural light.
