CLOSE TO OUR HEART.

Cistercian Preparatory School in Irving holds a special place for the Andres family. Both Wade and Warren attended and graduated.

ANDRES has built the Abbey — a European-style stone church — plus the Library, Science building, Gymnasium, and Drama Building. The campus is filled with their work because the community is filled with their people.

THREE GENERATIONS DEEP.

Travis Andres — Gil's grandson — was part of the construction team on M-Line Tower. John Andres started as a laborer on the University of Dallas dormitory, worked the Hilton Anatole, and became Office Engineer on Farmers Market Harvest Lofts.

The institutional knowledge doesn't just compound within the company. It compounds within the family.
