Franz Prinsloo AIA
Director
From Texas’ tallest tower to the final plot at New York’s World Trade Center, Franz has deep experience working on transformative projects that respond to the evolving needs of dynamic cities.
Amenity-Rich Properties
Franz’s extensive residential, mixed-use, and office experience in New York City and across the United States has provided clients with forward-thinking buildings for tenants and residents alike. Franz was Project Manager for 1020 Spring Street, a hospitality-forward office building in Atlanta with lively collaboration spaces and flourishing greenery. Further west, Franz oversaw the completion of Waterline, which combines retail, office, hotel, and residential programs in Texas’ tallest tower. In Dallas, he led the delivery of the Bank of America Tower at Parkside, which humanizes the office building typology with an amenity-rich podium and additional tenant-only facilities at the sky lobby level.
Contextual Residential
Through his effective management style, Franz has navigated the complexity of building high-rise residential in New York City, delivering projects that are architecturally striking, well executed, and welcoming to live in. At Brooklyn Point, a 68-story residential tower, he successfully navigated the detailed coordination required to build next to New York City subway transit tunnels and connect to an adjacent mall. In lower Manhattan, Franz worked with 111 Murray Street’s stakeholders to integrate a public plaza and navigate the complexities of post-Sandy flood mitigation in the area. To win approval for 5 World Trade Center, Franz led the team in responding to the adjacent World Trade Center complex’s security requirements, while aligning with local design guidelines and the strict sustainability requirements of Local Law 97.
