One City Place is a 326,000 SF, 19-story south tower of City Place in the heart downtown Fort Worth. One City Place is the second project Rogers-O’Brien has completed as part of the redevelopment of the entire City Place site. The Class A office building, which once served as the Radio Shack Corporate Headquarters, features high-end finishes, state-of-the-art systems and a 2.5/1,000 parking ratio.
On display as a centerpiece in the new lobby building is the restored No. 1 rail car from the former subway line that operated under the site for decades. The M&O Subway line shuttled shoppers from a parking lot near at the edge of downtown to the Leonard’s Department store, which later became the Radio Shack headquarters. The project received a Topping Out – Top 10 Award.
Pizza Hut Corporate Headquarters consists of a 3-story, 177,540 SF tilt-wall building with steel structure, cast stone exterior veneer and stone veneer accents. Adjacent to the main office structure is a 145,000 SF, 3-level cast-in-place parking garage clad with architectural pre-cast panels. This building includes a number of unique features such as child-care facilities, exterior water features, an on-site data center, numerous full-size restaurant test kitchens and restaurant mock-ups of the company’s restaurants. Rogers-O’Brien helped the project comply with the strict policy of minimizing environmental impact by achieving two Green Globe Awards for the numerous earth-friendly features included in the design and construction of the facility.
Ericsson’s North American Headquarters expansion consists of two new four-story buildings, a connector building and two parking garages. This project is an example of successful global collaboration at all levels, where the project team was challenged with balancing Ericsson’s global design program with the needs of a North American operation and market, while also managing an aggressive budget and schedule. The prominence of Ericsson’s site required thoughtful consideration with regards to potential impacts on the surrounding community. With LEED Gold certification an early goal of the Owner, a number of sustainable practices were implemented to achieve this expectation and resulted in a 25% more efficient building than the standard benchmark.
Methodist Hospital for Surgery is a 105,000 SF surgical hospital located on a busy North Dallas corridor. The hospital focuses on treating patients in need of highly-specialized spine and joint surgery and is the only dedicated orthopedics hospital of its kind in the area. The facility includes seven fully-equipped operating rooms, 32 private patient rooms, 10 outpatient treatment rooms, a diagnostic imaging suite (including CT and MRI), and physical therapy/rehabilitation areas. Methodist Hospital for Surgery is a joint venture partnership between area physicians, Methodist Health System and Nueterra Healthcare.
Rogers-O’Brien managed the entire construction process using BIM, resulting in more pre-fabricated systems, less rework, faster schedule, lower cost and a higher quality building delivered with a 4-month accelerated schedule.
The Methodist Hospital for Surgery received the AGC Texas Building Branch Outstanding Construction Award and the TEXO Distinguished Building Award.
Annette Caldwell Simmons Hall is a 56,000 SF facility on the campus of Southern Methodist University and is home to the School of Education and Human Development. The building includes the physiology of exercise and a biomechanical laboratory along with Dean’s offices and multiple classrooms. The structure is cast-in-place with a structural steel roof and slate tiles and masonry veneer. The project also recently received two awards by the American Subcontractors Association for “Outstanding Project Under $25M” and “Outstanding Project Team under $50M” — and is LEED Gold Certified.
Rogers-O’Brien completed this two-story tilt wall office and high-bay building for Advanced Neuromodulation Systems. ANS, which is a high-technology medical device company, required early turnover of the bay wing, which included a clean room, to begin production of their products. The project team performed early finish-out of the computer server room located in the office building and worked with the clean room decision makers to accelerate the schedule. The team constructed temporary partitions to delineate between finished space and construction space. Rogers-O’Brien successfully met the production milestone for ANS.
The 33-acre open-air urban village of Park Lane, situated between the DART Park Lane light rail station and NorthPark Center, was constructed to balance the lifestyle functions of living, working, dining and shopping. The vision was to create an environment that would blend lifestyle and power retail with offices, condominium and rental apartments, resulting in a memorable gathering place for the community in a harmonious architectural setting. Due to its proximity to the nearby NorthPark Center, parking demand was met by consolidating surface parking for existing office buildings into a seven-level parking garage and constructing a pedestrian-oriented retail environment along newly created shopping streets.
Rogers-O’Brien was the lead contractor on this Joint Venture with The Beck Group.
The Shops at Legacy is an upscale, mixed-use development of retail shops, office buildings and residential units at the busy intersection of Legacy Road and Dallas Parkway. Rogers-O’Brien completed the phased construction of the shell and interior finish out of various retail, office and restaurants, as well as five parking garages totaling approximately 345,000 square feet.
Since The Shops at Legacy were operational when Rogers-O’Brien began work, the team worked diligently with the development team and retail store owners to implement a construction approach that did not disturb their business or the flow of traffic within the busy mixed-use development.
Texas Instruments, Inc. DMOS 5, Phase II, includes the construction of a three-story Computer Wafer Fabrication facility. The building is designed around a 65,000 SF clean room with support area of 455,000 SF for systems servicing the clean room function. Additionally, a five-story Administration Building of 120,000 SF was required for the administrative functions of the clean room. Also included is a chemical dock and a deionized water building.
This complex, totaling 650,000 SF is connected to an existing operating clean room facility – DMOS 5 Phase I and required a 12-month construction schedule. DMOS 5 Phase II is an addition to Phase I, which was also completed by Rogers-O’Brien.
Rogers-O’Brien Construction completed restoration of “The Women’s Museum” for The Foundation for Women’s Resources, a private nonprofit organization located in Austin, Texas. The restoration won considerable recognition from a multitude of associations and from the state, including the Dallas Preservation Achievement Award, the Texas Building Branch-AGC Outstanding Construction Award, the QUOIN Summit Award and the ABC Excellence in Construction Award. The facility, built in 1910 as the State Fair Coliseum, now serves as a national museum focused solely on the historical achievements and contributions of women. Rogers-O’Brien was called upon to renovate the existing building (approximately 70,000 square feet) and to restore the facility’s fountains and other unique elements. Innovation programs intertwined throughout many areas of the restoration project in cooperation with the U.S. Parks Department and the Dallas Landmark Commission, and the Texas Historic Commission.
