What GSR Andrade Architects does

GSR Andrade Architects is a Dallas-based, Hispanic-owned architecture and interior design firm founded in 1989 by partners Fernando Andrade (President and CEO) and Gary R. Simon. The firm delivers professional design services across five primary verticals: healthcare (hospitals, medical office buildings, assisted living/SNFs, freestanding emergency rooms and ASCs, rehabilitation facilities), industrial (manufacturing plants, logistics/warehousing, and municipal infrastructure such as water treatment and stormwater pumping stations), institutional (government facilities, K-12 and higher education buildings, recreation centers, religious facilities), commercial (office and mixed-use), and multifamily residential. Notable projects include a 258,000 s.f. Baptist Health hospital, a 142,000 s.f. Forest Park Medical Center hospital, an 850,000 s.f. Caterpillar manufacturing facility, the 236,000 s.f. North Texas Food Bank Perot Family Campus, and the LEED Gold-certified Whirlpool RDC, with the firm holding LEED Silver and Gold certifications on multiple projects and aligning water infrastructure work with UN Sustainable Development Goals 6 and 9.

The firm earns revenue through professional fees on architecture and interior design engagements structured as a percentage of construction cost or as negotiated fixed fees, on a project-by-project basis. Go-to-market is enterprise-direct: the firm pursues healthcare systems, medical real estate developers, municipalities (City of Dallas Water Utilities, Park and Recreation, Dallas County), institutional organizations (DISD, Prairie View A&M), and corporate clients (Caterpillar, Whirlpool, Essilor) through direct business development, RFP responses, repeat client relationships, and referrals concentrated in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex with selected out-of-state work in Arizona, Arkansas, Nevada, and Oklahoma. Marketing channels include the company website, project portfolio case studies, blog content, AIA/TASA-TASB conference participation, community service events, and earned media coverage including Dallas Business Journal lists.

The firm employs 11-50 staff based at its Dallas headquarters (2001 N Lamar Street #400), holds credentials including AIA, LEED AP BD+C, LEED GA, RID, and SDA among team members, and has been recognized by the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (Top 10 Award 2019, Achievement Award 2020), San Antonio Business Journal, Preservation Dallas, and the DBJ's Top 25 Largest Architectural Firms and Largest Hispanic-Owned Businesses lists.
