How can we connect with YOU? We always love meeting with our clients and readers. Just tell us when! Reach out to Deborah Gross at
Signage is a fundamental element in branding living communities. Whether a neighborhood, master planned community, or a multifamily complex, the entrance sign announces the name and helps set the stage for what lies ahead. At the basic level, entrance signage provides the wayfinding to direct people into a development. It might be a simple singular sign or an elaborate gateway feature and is located at the defined border of the community. The signage design, materials, fonts/colors, and extra features like landscaping or water elements, visually communicate the community brand. Entrance signage is just one component of placemaking.
Mill Creek Residential recently acquired 16 acres near the burgeoning Beltway 8/Highway 288 intersection for its newest apartment community in the Houston area, Modera Cottingham. The sprawling three-story community will feature 360 contemporary apartment homes contained in 11 buildings, and an expansive clubhouse.
In keeping with the brand definition, home interiors will be distinguished by distinctive design and luxe finishes. The community will include refined amenities and extensive resident services. PRISM developed interior and exterior renderings for Mill Creek’s marketing and leasing packages.
Wolf Capital Partners can see past some rough edges. The commercial development firm founded in 2019 by Zachary Wolf already has six fully leased properties that they redeveloped.
Two more redevelopments are underway, one in the Washington Corridor and the other in Greater Heights. Both areas are indisputably home to some of Houston’s hottest new restaurants. Wolf hired PRISM to develop exterior renderings depicting the fully refreshed exteriors of each development.

The deeper we understand our clients’ businesses, the better we can serve them. With this premise, Jing recently returned to Rice University. She completed the Real Estate Investment and Development course. Learning how to analyze the commercial viability of real estate investments and developments has turned out to be an invaluable investment for PRISM.

True leadership is continually learning and investing in yourself and your development. I was privileged to attend the EntreLeadership Summit 2022, my seventh time since 2016. This world-class experience has had a significant impact on my leadership journey. It’s also been an inspiration in my pursuit of servant leadership every day.
My sons were eight and five when I started PRISM in 2005. In May, my youngest graduated from college. The saying goes that the days are long, but the years are short. Starting a business with young kids, there were many, many days I felt like I was barely treading water to meet demands at home and for clients. This was definitely a time when I learned the importance of prioritizing and efficiency. And calling in others to supplement specific areas of the business.
Grand Prairie, Texas sits midway between Fort Worth and Dallas. The northern edge of the city is less than three miles south of DFW International Airport. The Dallas-Fort Worth connector, Interstate 30, runs across the northern portion of Grand Prairie; State Highway 161 runs vertically through the city. And Molto Properties is putting almost 1.8 million square feet of industrial space in the middle of it. Method Architecture designed the new development, GSW Commerce Center. They commissioned PRISM to produce the marketing renderings.
