Summer B. Lawton, HNTB’s South Central Texas Office Leader and Vice President, also revealed plans for the office’s expansion. “This is an exciting time to be part of HNTB," she said. "Our growth and expansion in Austin reflect our commitment to excellence and our dedication to the communities we serve, while providing an environment in which our professionals continue to thrive.”
The firm has seen significant growth in the Austin region by increasing the number of professionals by more than 60 percent in the last three years. As a result, HNTB will now occupy the entire 24th floor at Indeed Tower, increasing the total lease to 34,400 square feet.
“Right now, we are in the midst of an extraordinary moment. We have the privilege to simultaneously engage in career-defining, transformational infrastructure projects, each spanning a different mode of transportation,” Lawton said. “This presents significant opportunities and pathways for career advancement to both new and experienced professionals.”
HNTB is currently involved with projects in the area including the Texas Department of Transportation’s I-35 Capital Express, Austin Transit Partnership’s Project Connect, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport’s Expansion and Development program, and transportation bond programs for Williamson, Hays, and Travis counties.
