Hope Springs Eternal In Texas
• Hope Media Group (HMG), the Houston-based nonprofit organization behind media brands such as KSBJ, WayFM, and the Spanish-language network Vida Unida, unveiled its newly constructed 50,000-square foot headquarters at Valley Ranch in New Caney, TX, a Signorelli mixed-use development in East Montgomery County.
Designed in collaboration with Gensler, a global leader in architecture and design, and built by Tellepsen, the facility highlights HMG’s next step in growth within media ministry.
“Expanding in recent years as a multi-platform media ministry and our continued organizational growth meant we needed not just more space, but the right kind of space,” said Joe Paulo, CEO of Hope Media Group. “This facility really honors the many donors who have made it possible by weaving beauty, functionality, and efficiency into something special that will facilitate life-changing work for decades to come.”
The new HQ features an open floorplan that encourages connection and transparency, including focused workspaces, prayer rooms, and a large multipurpose room that can be divided into two. The ground floor also includes a street-level feature studio and an onsite café open to the public.
“As a nonprofit, it was important to Hope Media Group that they be good stewards of their donor dollars and community,” said Ami Buckner, Studio Director & Sr. Associate at Gensler. “We embraced the functional needs of the space while also creating a comfortable and inviting environment for both employees and visitors. The resulting design accommodates Hope Media Group’s future growth and personnel needs by improving efficiency and use.”
Hope Media Group is located at 21620 Valley Ranch Parkway, New Caney, TX 77357.
