JT Magen, a national construction firm specializing in preconstruction, construction management, design-build, and general contracting across a variety of industries, has completed a full office renovation for JBGoodwin REALTORS®, a residential real estate brokerage, at 1613 S. Capital of Texas Highway in the Westlake neighborhood of Austin, TX.
JT Magen served as construction manager for the project, overseeing all aspects from budgeting, procurement of materials, managing subcontractors and conducting the final handover upon completion. JT Magen collaborated with the JBGoodwin team and Seventh Spectrum Studios, who led the interior design for the project.
“We’re pleased to announce the completion of this office refresh for JBGoodwin,” said Dan Longshore, Southwest Regional Director at JT Magen. “The space has significantly enhanced the day-to-day environment for the brokers and staff, providing them with several flexible work and training areas. By removing several private offices, we were able to welcome more natural light and access to greenery.”
Established in 1972, the full-service brokerage specializes in the Austin and San Antonio real estate markets, and helping homebuyers, sellers and renters find homes that fit their needs. The company has eight branch offices in Texas. JBGoodwin has occupied the 8,000-SF space at the building for more than 40 years and was looking for a complete refresh that would allow the firm to best serve the needs of brokers and clients.
JT Magen built out an open, modern office space for JBGoodwin that features increased natural light and via floor-to-ceiling windows, refreshed materials, a variety of functional spaces for staff training and hosting clients, as well as added desking areas. Luxury vinyl tile in a light wood tone spans the well-traveled paths around the office, while carpeting was placed near the workstations and conferencing areas. A selection of wallcoverings in the conference and sign rooms help create a sense of warmth. Furniture in a variety of muted colors and wood tones reflect the natural landscape of the Texas region. Accents of yellow are incorporated across the office as a nod to JBGoodwin’s signature color.
“This renovation will allow for the continued expansion of JBGoodwin as a brokerage, as well as the attraction and retention of talent,” said J.B. Goodwin, CEO of JBGoodwin REALTORS®. “Looking back on our more than 50 years in business, I am humbled to see how the company has grown to become one of the top names in Texas real estate. JT Magen has helped make our space a home and ensure our longevity in the market.”
JT Magen’s Austin office is one of the region’s leading general contractors and construction managers. Led by Dan Longshore, the team has been involved in number of projects across the retail and commercial interiors sector for clients such as the University of St. Augustine, Owlchemy, The Roarty Law Firm, Oak Point Real Estate, TAWA, and UNIQLO.
