Retail Projects
Christian House of Prayer- The Village
Christian House of Prayer- The Village
The concept of the Christian House of Prayer Retail Center in Killeen, Texas, known as The Village, is to create a central retail street for multiple retail and restaurant tenants for the shopping needs of CHOP members and the surrounding community while also providing enjoyable public spaces that have become a destination for area residents. The retail development and Lecture Hall were the first two pieces of a master-planned campus for the church and a regional chain of credit unions. Working with TXDOT on highway access, as well as planning out regional drainage, and utility strategy for the land were critical pieces in the success of this project.

Bastrop Center
Bastrop Center
Bastrop Center, located in Texas, originally was to be a pre-engineered building; However, once EVstudio was hired to evaluate the project, the decision was made to go with concrete tilt-wall construction. Thankfully for our client, EVstudio has structural engineers in-house to assist with the new direction. The newly designed building provides shell spaces and specific spaces for pre-leased retail stores. Phase I included 15,000 GSF of core and shell retail space and 16,000 additional GSF of finished retail space for Goodwill Industries. Phase II included a 4,000 GSF bank pad.
