At RVi, we've always believed the land has its own story to tell. For over 42 years, we've embraced the art of #placemaking, and for 30 of those years, Gene Lukow has been a central figure in shaping master planned communities in Central Texas and beyond. And now, we celebrate his incredible contributions as he embarks on a well-deserved retirement. Gene’s commitment to client service, his deep respect for the land, and his ability to create communities that grow in value over time are woven into the fabric of RVi. His thoughtful approach to #planning and #design has left an indelible mark on countless projects, and his influence will continue to shape our work long after his departure. As Gene prepares to enjoy his retirement in Portugal, he leaves behind a legacy that is as enduring as the communities he helped to create. Director of Planning Shane Lekwa and Project Manager Lance Ippel will be taking the reins on Gene’s projects, working closely with him during the transition to ensure a seamless handover. With a team of planning experts across 12 offices in five states, RVi is fully equipped to continue delivering the same visionary designs and client-focused service that have been the hallmarks of our success. We wish Gene the best in this next chapter and are grateful for the impact he’s made. Some of the standout projects Gene has worked on over the years include Sun City Texas, Belterra, Kissing Tree, Travisso, Trace, La Cima, and Wildhorse. As we look ahead, RVi remains committed to delivering exceptional planning, design, and value-added solutions. Here's to building the future—one community at a time. #RVi #OpenTheOutdoors

Brett's portfolio spans the globe— from India to Japan, Australia to the Middle East, and across the U.S. His global perspective, shaped by diverse landscapes, cultures, and planning practices, reflects his deep understanding of how impactful healthy landscapes are to people and places.
