Dear Members of the Board, On behalf of REHAB Architects, I am pleased to submit our response to your RFP for Design Services for the new Urban Co-op Mixed Use Center. REHAB Architects has over 40 years of combined experience in Houston, Texas, and we provide exceptional quality Design Services resulting in some of the preeminent mix-use and resort spaces in the state. We look forward to adding Urban Co-op Mixed Use Center to our list of healthy spaces for healthy lifestyles. As a Houston based architecture firm, REHAB Architects is committed to reinvesting and growing this great city. Being a MWSBE firm ,we are committed to continuing our support of other local MWSBE consultants who we believe are hard working, knowledgeable, and dedicated team members. As per the RFP, REHAB Architects will provide Architectural/Engineering services for the new Urban Co-op Mixed use Center—a forty-two thousand square foot (42,000 SF), LEED Gold certified, multi-story center, including retail shops, fabrication, art, and music studios, and residential units. The site is in the heart of the Museum District in Houston, Texas. We understand the facility needs to be iconic in its presence as a beacon to the community and as an economic hub for artists and talent. We will retain MEP and Structural Engineering Consultants as referenced in the Architect-Engineer-Owner Agreement. REHAB Architects has worked on numerous projects with similar program, size, and scale, all of which have been extremely successful and profitable. One project we are quite proud of is the Hughes Warehouse Adaptive Reuse, a LEED Gold Mix-Use Building which revitalized the north end of San Antonio's downtown warehouse district, and became a new center for commerce geared toward artistic businesses. In 2016, the project won the highly sought after AIA COTE Top 10 award.

TREATMENT
ADAPTIVE REUSE
We at REHAB Architects believe so strongly in the transformative potential of Urban Co-op Mixed Use Center that we are prepared to show our commitment in the following three ways:
1. REHAB Architects would like to Move our headquarters to Urban Co-op Mixed Use Center by beginning a 3-year lease of ten-thousand (10,000) sqft. of office space, beginning on December 1st, 2017—one day after the building is occupancy certified. 2. REHAB Architects has a long-standing relationship with local music artist, Joey D. Joey D has agreed to lease five-thousand (5,000) sqft. of recording studio space for 3 years as well as produce two 30-second commercials to promote Urban Co-op Mixed Use Center. 3. REHAB Architects would like to negotiate becoming a minority equity partner by contributing as much as 1 million dollars to the project. This is contingent upon the sale of the development after 60 months or a 60 month buy-out of REHAB Architects by moda based on the average of three independed fair market appraisals.
If a decision is reached among the development shareholders to make rehab architects a vested interest in the project, project management will naturally become easier and more streamlined, with the project staying under budget and on schedule. Kayli Yentzen will serve as your single point of contact for the Urban Co-op mixed use center. Kayli is always available and can be reached at 713-397-3962; kayli@rehabarchitects.com We look forward to the opportunity to work alongside moda in order to provide local artisans and small businesses a vibrant work/play venue in Houston. REHAB Architects would be honored to become a part of the team.
Sincerely,
Kayli Yentzen, AIA Principal Architect

HUGHES WAREHOUSE SAN ANTONIO, TX, 2015 The Hughes Warehouse renovation includes a 22,800 square foot adaptive reuse of an abandoned warehouse in San Antonio. Through the incorporation of all program into a single level, we designed a more programmatically connected space for our client, who was previously housed in a divided multi-story space. The design juxtaposes the old with the new, and old material is repurposed to create new pieces of furniture within the space. While the design recycles elements of the original design, it also reorganizes the layout of the client’s office to be more functional, open, and collaborative.

RE: REHAB Architects
Dear Sir or Madam: JDKG Development (JDKG�) has been asked by REHAB Architects to provide you with information regarding our recent experience with REHAB Architects in connection with their submission for your upcoming project. JDKG is happy to do so. Our firm specializes in the acquisition and development of real estate parcels in the Midtown and Montrose areas of central Houston for our professional clients. Recently, we were contacted by a small, but very successful law firm, seeking a turnkey solution to its office needs. The firm was looking to defray operational costs by building their office as part of a mixed-use development of a mid-rise structure with retail tenants. After meeting with the client, we retained REHAB Architects to assist with the design of the building. REHAB Architects then met with both the client and JDKG and made significant suggestions relating to the unique location and shape of the property. It was determined that the project would consist of a coffee shop and a restaurant, together offices for the client. Because of space limitations, parking would also be provided on the first floor, adjacent to (but behind) the retail space and the office space would then span over both retail space and parking.

RECOMMENDATIONS

REHAB Architects did a splendid job on our project. 4306 Yoakum Blvd. was brilliantly designed with attractive frontage that helped the client attract two national chains into the retail space with long-term leases. The office design was equally amazing with an open concept with multiple similar sized “egalitarian� offices for both partners and associates and three large and medium size conference rooms. The entire project totaled 47,000 sq. ft. and the design and construction plans were delivered on time. REHAB Projects also assisted our office staff in navigating the difficult City of Houston process and staff in obtaining the necessary approvals and permits for construction. The entire project came in on time and under budget. JDKG would not hesitate to use REHAB Architects on its future projects. In fact, we are already in discussion about the design of a possible medical facility in the Montrose area of Houston. Sincerely,
Millard A. Johnson President
AWARDS Hughes Warehouse AIA COTE Award, 2015
Project Owner: AREA Real Estate Location: 203 E. Jones Ave. San Antonio, Texas Submitting Architect: REHAB Architects Project Category: Adaptive Reuse Project Site Context/Setting: Urban | Previously Developed Land Project Type: Office – 10,001 to 100,000sf
SUMARY Inspired by the history of the Hughes Plumbing Warehouse, this adaptive reuse project transforms an early 20th-century warehouse into an innovative but functional studio space. The renovation preserves the openness and industrial character of the original building, maintaining its expansive 18-ft ceilings and preexisting structural grid. An array of meeting spaces organized within the grid serve as the primary organizational component for the studio, a strategy that has enhanced creative collaboration and communication between staff while also facilitating project reviews, client meetings, design charrettes, and visiting student critiques. A newly inserted 1,500-SF courtyard unfolds beyond the existing brick façade, creating an unexpected public gathering spot that opens the building to the street and provides access to adjacent tenant spaces. The existing loading dock openings are fitted with custom perforated steel gates—patterned off an abstraction of a Jackson Pollock painting—to provide cohesion with the neighboring arts and design district, and serve as a reminder of the building’s graffitied past. The renovation of the warehouse along the banks of the San Antonio River in the burgeoning River North district of downtown San Antonio has transformed not only a building but an organizational culture and neighborhood.
JURY COMMENTS A very successful example of a creative, low-cost adaptive reuse project that maintains the integrity and the character of the building. Introduction of contemporary structural, electrical, and mechanical systems was done in such a way as to not detract from the historic elements of the building. The outside spaces were integrated well with surrounding areas as well as the building itself. This proves that making use of a high percentage of reused and repurposed materials can be done creatively and affordably.
