For many longtime Austinites, Procore Tower will always be remembered as the old Chase Bank building, a familiar fixture in the downtown skyline and a recognizable part of the city’s story. When Beacon Capital undertook the building’s transformation, they approached it with the same thoughtfulness that has become their signature: honoring what exists while creating something entirely new.
One of Beacon’s greatest strengths is their ability to make large commercial environments feel remarkably residential. Their spaces are warm, layered, and human. They understand that people don’t connect with square footage or finishes alone. They connect with stories, personality, and a sense of place. Art plays an essential role in bringing that feeling to life.
Throughout Procore Tower, Beacon assembled an exceptional collection of local and regional artists, pairing acquisitions with site-specific commissions that create moments of discovery throughout the building.
The journey begins in the lobby, where visitors encounter a stunning ceiling commission by Lauren Napolitano. Suspended above a circular gathering point where people move in every direction, the work creates a mesmerizing focal point. Viewed from below, the composition almost evokes a compass—an elegant nod to movement, navigation, and connection. The piece rewards repeat viewing, revealing new relationships and details depending on where you stand.
In the building’s library, Karen Hawkins presents her remarkable “Book Gems” installation. Drawing inspiration from the objects that surround us and the stories they contain, Hawkins transforms familiar forms into something precious and unexpected. The work feels perfectly suited to the library setting, adding both texture and wonder while encouraging visitors to slow down and look closer.
Outside the office spaces, there is Ryan Goolsby, another Texas artist. His distinctive visual language brings energy and confidence to the environment while maintaining a sense of accessibility that feels right at home in Austin.
Chad Kilgore’s work can be found in the front lobby. His work immediately captures attention through its subtle ombré transitions and extraordinary materiality. Built from folded paper elements, the piece reveals incredible depth and texture.
The building’s amenity spaces continue the dialogue between contemporary art and thoughtful hospitality. Here, visitors encounter a dynamic collection featuring Caroline Penny, Purely Porcelain, Cody Hudson, and Colby Bird. Together, the works create an atmosphere that feels sophisticated yet approachable, balancing playfulness with refinement.
One of our favorite discoveries within the project is a work by Regina Durante Jestrow, sourced through Ivester Contemporary. Her work introduces another voice into the collection, adding richness and variety while complementing the broader curatorial vision.
In the conference room, a striking textile work by Gary Goldberg offers a quieter moment. Created in Oaxaca using felt, the piece evokes the feeling of a landscape viewed from a distance. Its soft textures and earthy palette bring warmth to a space often dominated by screens and meetings, serving as a reminder of the handmade and the human.
Each piece contributes something unique while supporting a larger story about Austin, creativity, craftsmanship, and community. The result is a building that feels layered, lived-in, and alive.
