Senior Living in Austin — market context
The U.S. senior living shortfall runs 595,000 units by 2030. Investment gap of $275 billion. Central Texas — Austin, Round Rock, San Marcos, Georgetown — carries demographic weight driven by national in-migration, retiree settlement patterns, and proximity to medical infrastructure. The construction problem is HHSC licensing alongside city inspections. Memory care infrastructure — delayed-egress door hardware, key-card elevator access, wander management, alarmed stairwell logging — is specialized scope that has to be designed into the structure, not retrofitted.
ANDRES has delivered four CCRCs across Texas — The Stayton in Fort Worth (800K SF, three 11-story towers, 20-month schedule), Edgemere in Preston Hollow (multi-phase expansion with residents in place), Touchmark at Emerald Lake in McKinney (265 units, $98M), and Vivante Turtle Creek in Dallas (20-story, 164 AL + 29 memory care, $150M, delivering 2027). David O’Quinn is the senior PM on Vivante; he brought in a third-party HHSC and fire safety consultant to review every sheet pre-construction. The methodology that lets construction run inside an occupied senior living community is portable. The Austin team runs under Josh Torres, who has managed projects across every sector ANDRES serves over twenty years at the firm.
