Construction continues to progress at the Tuttle Mixed-Use Development along N. Olive Avenue in West Palm Beach, with Black Diamond now building through the third floor. The three-story live-work project features a distinctive Art Deco-inspired architectural design that brings a unique character to the North Olive corridor, just blocks from downtown. One of the building’s defining features is the curved exterior wall along the front façade, which is now taking shape in the field and has been expertly executed by the Black Diamond team. As construction continues upward, the project is beginning to reveal the architectural character envisioned throughout the design process.

The Calvary Christian Academy campus is undergoing a major transformation as its new three-story expansion takes shape in Port St. Lucie. Remnant Construction has completed much of the shell of the classroom addition and is now progressing through interior construction, while the existing gymnasium is nearing full enclosure. Once complete, the 57,700-square-foot expansion will provide new classrooms, offices, science labs, a media center, band room, locker facilities, and other enhanced spaces for the growing campus. Adding another layer of complexity, construction is being carefully coordinated while the existing school remains active and operational, requiring close collaboration between the design team, contractor, and school to maintain a safe and functional campus throughout construction.

Congratulations to REG President Rick Gonzalez, AIA, for being reappointed by President Donald Trump to serve as an Expert Member of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation! Rick previously served on the Council from 2020 to 2023, including time as Vice Chairman. His reappointment continues his national-level involvement in historic preservation policy and reflects his longstanding expertise and leadership in the field.

Congratulations to Sabrina Ayala, daughter of REG Vice President Manuel Ayala, on an outstanding achievement at the 2026 FBLA National Leadership Conference! Sabrina placed 7th nationally in her competitive category, earning recognition among some of the top student competitors from across the country. We are proud to celebrate this impressive accomplishment and congratulate Sabrina on representing herself, her school, and her family at the national level.

A special thank you to our three incredible summer interns—Sebastian from The Catholic University of America, and Adrianna and Victoria from the University of Miami. Throughout their time at REG, each brought a strong work ethic, positive attitude, and valuable contributions to our team and projects. We truly enjoyed having them in the office and appreciate the energy and enthusiasm they brought to the firm. We wish Sebastian, Adrianna, and Victoria continued success as they return to college and take the next steps toward their future careers!

Dominic represented REG Architects at the annual AIA Conference on Architecture & Design in San Diego, joining professionals from across the country to explore the latest developments shaping the architecture industry. From emerging technologies and design trends to evolving professional practices, the conference provided valuable insight into where the profession is headed. Dominic returned with new ideas and perspectives that will help keep REG connected to current industry thinking and best practices.

This May, Rick and Brigitte attended the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation Conference in downtown St. Petersburg, where REG once again proudly supported the event as a sponsor. The annual conference brought together preservation professionals, advocates, and community leaders from across the state to share ideas, challenges, and best practices shaping Florida’s historic places. Rick also had the opportunity to lead several of his favorite sessions, contributing his experience and perspective to conversations centered on preservation, adaptive reuse, and the continued stewardship of Florida’s architectural heritage.

Historic preservation took center stage in Cocoa Beach as Rick and Ricardo joined this year’s Preservation on Main Street Conference, with REG once again serving as a proud event sponsor. Hosted within the community’s historic Main Street district, the conference brought together preservation professionals, community leaders, and advocates from across Florida. REG also contributed to the program by participating in three educational sessions throughout the event. One of the week’s most memorable moments came at the awards dinner, held at the Kennedy Space Center beneath the iconic Saturn V rocket as an unforgettable setting to celebrate preservation, place, and Florida history.

Ricardo, Jorge, Dominic, Juan, and Cynthia volunteered their time to support the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County’s annual Backpack Drive, helping prepare essential school supplies for local students as they headed into the new school year. The event was a great opportunity for members of the REG team to step outside the office, work together, and give back to the community we are proud to call home. Supporting local students and families is one small way our team can help make a positive impact beyond the projects we design.

The REG team celebrated our annual Fourth of July company picnic at Ocean Cay Park in Juno Beach with an afternoon of good food, friendly competition, and plenty of laughs. The team fired up the grill, hit the field for a competitive soccer match, learned a few new moves with some line dancing, and enjoyed time relaxing on the beach. Most importantly, it was a great opportunity to step away from the office and enjoy time together as a team. And apparently, all that activity was enough for Rick, who was caught sneaking in a well-earned nap in the hammock!
