Nebraska Furniture Mart – Austin
A 1.2 Million SF Retail Powerhouse—On a Deadline That Doesn’t Flinch
The Challenge
At over 1.2 million square feet, the Nebraska Furniture Mart in Austin is the largest commercial development in the region. But size isn’t the only challenge—this project carries critical pro forma delivery milestones tied to tenant rollout, capital exposure, and public expectations.
With a $450M budget and a fast-tracked schedule, this is a project that cannot afford to fall behind.
What RED BRICK Is Delivering
We are leading schedule development and risk oversight to:
- Establish milestone-driven schedule models aligned to the pro forma and lease-up triggers
- Mitigate risk around long-lead procurement, workforce availability, and weather impacts
- Track performance against a hyper-aggressive schedule with zero tolerance for delays
- Coordinate construction phasing with operational turnover and site-wide safety
Key Wins
- Built a fast-track schedule aligned to critical project cash flow and opening targets
- Flagged key procurement and delivery risks early for mitigation
- Provided owner visibility tools to track construction in real time and maintain schedule discipline
Why It Matters
This isn’t just a building, it’s a flagship. And flagship projects come with immovable financial targets, community pressure, and reputational risk.
