Huston Electric’s involvement with the build of The Rise on Chauncey began at the end of 2017. As a design-build job, Huston played a large role early on in designing the electrical layout of the building. Once the plans were complete, Huston’s prefab team started early on prepping all the power and lighting for the 281 apartments and main spaces.
Not only did Huston provide all the electrical work and power but all of Huston’s divisions played a role in what you see today. Huston Generators installed two permanent backup emergency generators. Huston Tech installed all of the CATV, voice/data cabling, WIFI access points and fire alarm systems. Huston Signs installed two sets of channel letters, a perpendicular sign, and a set of custom exposed neon letters. The building was completed in August of 2019 and stands as one of the best examples of Huston’s quality workmanship. Through collaboration within our divisions Huston can be the solution to a lot of the problems with constructing a new building. We will continue to provide service for all of The Rise’s future needs in the fields of electrical, TeleTech, generators and signage.
