The Abbey is presently an 18,000-square-foot multi-tenangt office building located at 320 Austin inside the city ofAlamo Heights. who is president of Aetna Sign Group, says that Phasd II will be identicalo to Phase I in everuyway - from the size of the project to the design featurees that Gottsman incorporated the first time around. Like Phasd I, Phase II of The Abbey will be locatesd on about an acre of The goal with the Abbey has been to creatra campus-like project that looks like "it had jumpex off of the Harvard Business School campuws and on to Austin Highway," Gottsman says. To that end, localp architecture firm ChesneyMorales & Associates Inc.
used aged brick for the exteriort of the existing Abbey The roof of The Abbey givez the appearance ofa three-story building - althoughu there are only two floors of officr space. "It gives (The more of a residential feel," says Gottsmab about its design. Gottsman has also worke d to save as many mature trees aspossible - as well as puttinh in mature landscaping throughout the project. "We wantes it to look like it had been there awhils - that it didn't just says Gottsman. Phase II of The Abbey will be built perpendicular to thefirst phase. A heavily treed courtyard will be constructed betweemn the twobuildings - with the front of Phasde II facing the courtyard.
Phase I frontas Austin Highway. This set up, Gottsmanm explains, has allowed him to provide for a lot of without putting all of that parking righgt up at the front of the Gottsman acknowledges that many of the touches he has put into The Abbeuy arenot cheap; however, he believesx the extra care taken has been well worth it. Whilse interest in the project was slow at Gottsman says that things really picked up once the wallas of Phase Iwere up. "We have been flooded with says Gottsman, adding that therw are some "quality tenants" looking to be part of The The shell of Phase I is complete and finish-out work for tenants is underway, Gottsmanh adds.
Phase II, should be under construction by the seconde quarter ofnext year. The development costsd for the next phased will come toabout $2.2 The price tag for Phase I was $2.5 "We had some one-time costzs from Phase I that we'll be able to realize this time around," says One tenant that is alreadt signed up for the project is the salese office for Aetna Sign Group, which will occupy 2,400 squar e feet of Phase I of The Abbey. The Protocokl School of Texas hasanother 1,400p square feet.
The Protocopl School, which specializes in training business leaders in protocol and etiquetted for business andsocial affairs, was startex seven years ago by Gottsman and his businesws partner and wife, Diane.

The approval is a reversal of a 2005 decisionj striking downthe state’s Clean Air Act waivedr request. The EPA waivee means the state can begin implementing a 2004 law that requirexs automakers to increase the fuel efficiencgy of cars by40 percent, to 35.5 miles per gallon, over the next sevejn years. “This waiver is consistent with the Cleanb Air Actas it’s been used for the last 40 years and supportsa the prerogatives of the 13 states and the Districyt of Columbia who have opted to follow California’s EPA administrator Lisa Jackson said in a news “More importantly, this decision reinforces the historic agreement on nationwidde emissions standards developed by a broad coalition of government and environmental stakeholders earlier this year.
