2006

GFF is engaged to be the lead Architect for Cypress Equities’ ambitious W7th project spanning five city blocks in downtown Fort Worth and across the street from Tadao Ando’s new Modern.

2006

GFF institutes a monthly State of the Firm meeting, sharing updates on marketing, design, financials and recognitions with the entire staff. The word “kudos” is banned by 2008.

2007

Cypress Equities hatches a plan to develop retail districts for AAFES on army bases around the country and invites GFF to be on the team. Cypress drops the project because they feel there are bigger, more profitable opportunities on the horizon. The 2008 recession proves that theory wrong.

2007

The firm introduces the “Six Pack” – six new principals: Tammy Chambless, Lawrence Cosby, Brian Kuper, Rick Myers, Jon Rollins, and Scott Sower.
