City of Pharr | PSJA ISD | UTRGV

Pharr-PSJA-UTRGV Natatorium

Brownstone oversaw all phases of project development for a 72,796 sq. ft. aquatic facility—providing end-to-end management from design and contractor procurement to construction oversight, vendor coordination, closeout, and final turnover.

Aquatic Facility

Expert Delivery for Complex Builds

Brownstone managed this regional aquatic facility, which was constructed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our team led and navigated significant supply chain disruptions, health and safety constraints, and schedule pressure to substantially complete the project in time for the City’s annual State of the City address. Early in the project, Brownstone participated in a series of value engineering workshops to realign the budget after initial bids exceeded estimates. This work demonstrates our expertise in complex vertical construction and our ability to adapt to complex challenges while maintaining project objectives.

Project Info

Seamless Execution for a Signature Facility

We managed the full lifecycle of a complex 72,796-square-foot aquatic facility—delivering cost savings, transparent coordination, and high-quality results for the City of Pharr and its partners.

Outcome

The natatorium was delivered with zero claims or litigation, completed on time and on budget. Our leadership maintained exceptional quality throughout every stage of the project.

Budget

Originally budgeted at $26M, we lowered the cost to $23M through value engineering. A final adjustment to $24.1M covered the addition of a digital monument sign, without impacting performance or efficiency.

Schedule

Our proactive management kept construction on track, extending the schedule by just two months to accommodate the new scope. Strong daily oversight and team alignment minimized delays and change order disruptions.

Innovation

Brownstone facilitated cost-saving value-engineering workshops, coordinated specialty vendors, and fostered smooth collaboration across consultants and contractors. We delivered long-term operational value without compromising facility standards or usability.
