Discover the Journey of Case & Associates
Our Humble Beginnings
"Underpromise and overperform" – has been the guiding principle of Case & Associates since our inception. We've always prioritized building trust and transparency with our clients, laying the foundation for long-lasting relationships and outstanding project outcomes. Over the past 30 years, this ethos has not only defined our culture but has been the key to our enduring success and the growth of our client base.
The First Milestones
Founded in 1988 by Allen Case, our company embarked on a mission to become a leader in hospitality construction. Our breakthrough came with the renovation of the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, a project that catapulted us into the limelight and marked the beginning of our national reputation. It was during this time that Gary Connolly joined Allen, soon becoming an instrumental partner in the firm's success and expansion.
The 1990s were a period of rapid growth for Case & Associates, highlighted by significant projects like The Houstonian Hotel renovations and La Quinta’s Gold Medal Room Program. Our efforts were recognized in 1997 when we were listed among Inc. Magazine's 500 fastest-growing private companies. By 1998, a decade after our founding, we had established ourselves as a premier name in hotel renovation, boasting annual revenues of $20 million.
From Then to Now
Our journey continued with remarkable projects, including the luxurious renovations of the St. Regis Aspen Resort and the St. Regis Hotel in Houston, as well as the comprehensive makeover of The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Na’anapali. Our portfolio expanded across the country, from the vibrant streets of New Orleans, enhancing landmarks like the Sheraton and the W Hotel, to statewide projects in Texas that redefined hospitality spaces.
