Heights Venture Architecture + Design, a Texas-based firm known for its innovative architectural solutions and client-focus service, is proud to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the opening of its newest office in Chicago. This milestone underscores the firm’s commitment to growth, client service, and community engagement across the United States. By establishing a physical presence in Illinois, Heights Venture strengthens its ability to serve local and regional clients with customized architectural and design services tailored to the dynamic needs of the Midwest and beyond.
“Opening a physical office in the Chicagoland area has been a key strategic goal for Heights Venture over the past few years,” said Eric Abeln, AIA, NCARB, the Chicago Office Director and Partner of the firm. “Not only does this location provide marketing and business development advantages in a market that one of our partners calls home, but it reintegrates team members who have been working remotely back into our office culture. I firmly believe that in-person collaboration is vital in the design and architectural fields, fostering meaningful connections and enhancing both personal and professional growth. I am already seeing positive impacts from this opening and am excited about our future here.”
Abeln, a seasoned architect who joined Heights Venture in 2006 and was promoted to Partner in 2021, has been instrumental in expanding the firm’s presence across the United States. His leadership will guide the Chicago office as it becomes a central hub for operations in the North and Midwest regions.
Founded in Houston’s historic Heights neighborhood in 1979, Heights Venture Architecture + Design has a distinguished history of delivering exceptional design solutions for over 45 years. The firm expanded to Plano, Texas, in 1993 and has since grown to serve clients nationwide, maintaining licensure in 35 states.

From initial site selection and consultation to post-occupancy services, Heights Venture provides comprehensive solutions designed to meet the unique demands of each project.
The opening of the Chicago office positions Heights Venture to deepen its impact within the region’s architectural landscape. By combining local insights with its legacy of design excellence, the firm is set to deliver innovative spaces that are both functional and inspiring.
