(San Antonio, Texas) February 24, 2025 — Mason & Hanger, a Day & Zimmermann (D&Z) company, has announced the expansion of their operations with the opening of a new office in San Antonio, Texas. This investment grows Mason & Hanger’s reach to the West and South Central region along with our offices in Lexington, Kentucky; Richmond, Virginia; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Chantilly, Virginia; and Huntsville, Alabama. As the seventh largest city in the United States, it is widely known for its military legacy, housing the largest concentration of military bases in the U.S.
The firm’s local and regional federal business clients include USACE Districts Fort Worth, Tulsa, and Albuquerque; plus the Department of Homeland Security. A local client is Joint Base San Antonio (largest military installation in the world), which includes Randolph Air Force Base, Lackland Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston, Martindale Army Airfield, Camp Bullis, Camp Stanley, and large Army and Air Force recreational areas at Canyon Lake. Additionally, our new office will regionally serve 15 active-duty installations; and four IDIQs for architectural and engineering (A/E) services and four design-build contracts, with other agencies. We will also be supporting engineering and construction partners in the area.
“This geographic expansion to San Antonio supports our longstanding and critical partnerships, joint ventures, and contracts in the area under our mission of Building a More Secure World®, with our military and customer client base,” states Ben Lilly, President, Mason & Hanger. “Given our nearly 80 years of history in Texas, we are eager to officially set up an office.”
The San Antonio office will be led by San Antonio-local Dennis Brownley, PE, along with the firm’s four federal market directors. Brownley spent 21 years with the U.S. Air Force (USAF) as an officer and bioenvironmental engineer at five installations worldwide including the initiation and management and growth of the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC). He was recently appointed Director of Air Force Programs, Mason & Hanger. Mason & Hanger’s leadership is actively recruiting to build the local team to support our local and regional clients.
“We look forward to utilizing the significant pool of local technical talent from Texas A&M University, Baylor University, University of Houston, and University of Texas at Austin to help support our global mission for the U.S. Government,” states Mr. Lilly.
Located nearby the Alamo and River Walk, and in close proximity to all San Antonio military installations; the office address is 1209 S. Saint Mary’s Street.
