Austin Energy Green Building

Wheatsville Food Co-op is a natural foods cooperative grocery store, which has been serving the central Austin community since 1976. The new 25,000 square foot full service location, in an existing shopping center on South Lamar, features a full-size commercial bakery which supplies fresh baked goods to this store, as well as their existing central location. The store also features a commercial kitchen and deli for both in store dining and catering as well as a ‘Teaching Kitchen’ for classes and group gatherings. Local products are on display in every department supporting the Co-op’s sustainable and environmentally responsible philosophy.

Wheatsville South was built to Austin Energy Green Building standards and features all LED lighting fixtures on the sales floor, 50 solar tube and large skylights to bathe the interior with an abundance of daylight. An advanced daylight sensing system has been integrated to trim the use of artificial light when adequate daylight is available to illuminate the store floor. Low-emitting materials used in the construction of the building result in interior air that is virtually free of CFC refrigerants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and added urea formaldehyde.

Madison Clearview Port Arthur, LP

9th Avenue Station is a luxury 24 building/272 unit multi-family apartment community adjacent to an 18-hole golf course in Port Arthur, Texas.

9th Avenue Station is made up of 18 two-story, garden-style apartments with 9” ceilings, granite counter tops, nickel finish fixtures, ceramic tile floors and crown moulding. The community has provided the residents with detached one-story garages and carports along with a security system and limited gate access. Site improvements also included the construction of two large on-site ponds with a fountain.

Journeyman constructed a detached one-story clubhouse with a fireplace, covered patio meeting space with ceiling fans, professional business center and state-of-the art fitness room. The complex boasts a resort-style swimming pool with a heated spa, putting green and playground. The residents are also able to take advantage of walking trails and volleyball courts.

Journeyman has faced some unique challenges with this project as coastal weather can sometimes be tempestuous and unpredictable. The team tackled these challenges with hard work and a commitment to deliver this project on-time and on budget.

* The project was completed through our multi-family construction affiliate, All Star Speciality.
