Alair Galveston to Elevate Homebuilding Experience on the Gulf Coast

Galveston, TX — Galveston’s coastal renaissance continues — and one of Houston’s most trusted builders is making it official. After more than a decade of crafting custom homes and large-scale renovations along the island, the team behind Alair Houston | Cason Graye has launched Alair Galveston, a dedicated local operation committed to shaping the future of luxury and resilience on the Texas Gulf Coast. 

The move represents more than a business expansion; it’s a deep investment in Galveston’s next chapter. With a planned local headquarters, a dedicated team, and the backing of North America’s largest custom home network, Alair Galveston aims to elevate the custom home building and remodeling experience, bringing innovation, collaborative solutions, and thoughtful designs to match the growing demand for high-quality living along the shore. 

“Galveston is growing and evolving, and we’ve been proud to be part of that story for years,” said Bryan Phillips, Co-Owner of Alair Galveston.

“Our team has been building and renovating in Galveston for more than a decade while serving clients throughout the Houston–Galveston corridor. That experience gives us a perspective and capability that no other builder in the area can offer — the scale, systems, and expertise of a leading Houston operation combined with the local insight that only comes from years of coastal building. Now, with Alair Galveston, we’re able to bring all of that together to better serve this community.” 

The new company will be independently owned and operated by Bryan Phillips, current owner of Alair Houston | Cason Graye, and Hugh Forque, a four-time Alair client turned Partner with 30 years of professional services experience. A Galveston County native, Forque brings a unique customer-first perspective and deep local insight into the partnership, while Bryan extends the proven expertise and systems that have made Alair Houston | Cason Graye one of the region’s most respected builders. Together, they aim to elevate the quality, service, and experience of custom home building and large-scale renovations along the Texas Gulf Coast. 

“Coastal building comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities,” said Hugh Forque, Co-Owner of Alair Galveston. “From engineering and elevation to material selection and long-term maintenance, we understand what it takes to build homes that thrive here. Our goal with Alair Galveston is to bring a higher level of precision and transparency to coastal construction — and to help set a new standard for how it’s done.” 

Already contributing to landmark projects such as Roseate Beach, a next-generation sustainable coastal community, Alair Galveston plans to deepen its local impact through collaboration with trades, architects and designers, as well as developers — helping to shape a new era of elevated building standards and community pride across the island.
