Irving Bible Church

The dynamics and growth of this congregation drove the need to nearly triple the space they occupied.  This expansion required uninterrupted use of the existing facilities. The steep topography was taken advantage of by utilizing stepped seating in the Sanctuary and effectively stacking spaces to make up for a very constricted site.  The “Town Square” contains as much square footage as the Sanctuary and features a coffee shop, internet café and tube play area that is open every day to the general public.

Testimonial

First in Class

Our experience with Alliance Architects has been first in class. Not only are they great communicators and designers but they also understand the owner mentality when it comes to cost and schedule. They are able to balance the aesthetics with functionality which is a huge plus in the markets we work in. I would recommend Alliance Architects to small and large developers.

Exceeded Expectations

Although the partnership is relatively young, I feel our relationship is decades old. Their flow of information, responsiveness to our requests, and dynamic needs as a complex developer, have exceeded expectations. We could have not developed Star Business Park in Frisco, Texas at this rate of speed and success without this strategic partnership. We’re looking forward to what the future brings.

All members of the Alliance team provided excellent ideas, were responsive to our requests and those of our client, and delivered a project design with innovative functionality and visual appeal.

Designed a State of the Art Facility

The challenge was not only to raise the money but design and build a modern “client choice” pantry to serve this “food desert” community and to find someone to design and lead the construction. Not only did Alliance Architects step up, they designed a state of the art facility that is now serving hundreds of families who are no longer going to bed hungry. And they did it all “pro bono”.

Expertise, Creativity and Speed

Alliance Architects not only provides great design precision once a project is moving forward, but is also side-by-side with the developer on the leading edge of chasing deals down. They have been a tremendous partner for Seefried Properties in this regard. Their willingness to go the extra mile to serve their clients is invaluable to the success of our efforts to pursue and execute on development projects. We have leaned on their expertise, creativity and speed to help the Seefried team provide the highest level of excellence to our tenants throughout an often complex and competitive development process.

In the 6 years I have had the pleasure of working with Chad and the Alliance team, I have found them to be competent, dedicated and experienced professionals. They offer unrivaled talent, knowledge and experience, not to mention a huge comfort zone for their clients. They are sensitive to constraints of both budget and time, professional in the dealings with the project team members, and responsive to Digital Realty’s needs – all while providing excellent design.
