American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) engaged Cresa Project Management early to drive budget clarity, design alignment, and cost control. Leveraging real-time market intelligence, AARC relocated from Irving to Bent Tree Tower II and became the building’s first condo owner, securing a 6% stake. Cresa navigated ownership complexity, landlord coordination, and existing-conditions risk, delivering a smooth transition, capital protection, and long-term asset value alignment.
Cresa was engaged by a trusted, long-time design partner to collaborate directly with AARC’s CFO, providing comprehensive pre-construction consulting, design coordination, and detailed budgeting support.
Results
Transformation
The project achieved 15% savings on construction costs and nearly 20% total project savings overall. Cresa also safeguarded the client from an improper landlord request related to shared building system cost participation, protecting both capital and long-term value. The project was delivered on time, under budget, and to a high standard of quality—with the client confirming they felt they “got a great deal.”.
