MANVEL, Texas – July 7, 2026 — O’Donnell/Snider Construction (OSC), together with Vitala Emergency Center, Green Window Group, BB+W Architects, city officials, project partners, and trade contractors, celebrated the topping out of the future Vitala Emergency Center, marking the completion of the building’s structural framework and another significant step toward bringing 24-hour emergency care to the rapidly growing Manvel community.

The approximately 7,700 square foot facility, formerly introduced as the Manvel Emergency Center, is being developed by Green Window Group in partnership with founders Amir Bashiri, Dr. Jean Joseph, and Dr. Philip Zachariah. Once complete, the emergency center will provide around-the-clock emergency medical services, expanding access to high quality healthcare for residents throughout Manvel and the surrounding area.

The topping out ceremony celebrated not only the progress of construction but also the collaboration among the ownership team, design professionals, trade partners, and community leaders who have helped bring the vision to life.

“When this building opens, our real work begins,” said Amir Bashiri, founder of Vitala Emergency Center. “We want every patient who walks through our doors to feel welcomed, cared for, and confident they are receiving exceptional emergency care. This facility represents our commitment to serving the Manvel community for years to come.

“The project represents an important investment in one of the fastest growing communities in Brazoria County, where access to emergency healthcare continues to be a critical need.

“This milestone belongs to everyone who has contributed to the project, from our partners and trade professionals to the City of Manvel and the community that welcomed us from the beginning,” said Dr. Jean Joseph, co-founder of Vitala Emergency Center. “We’re excited to bring high quality emergency care closer to home for the families who live and work here.”

Throughout construction, the project team has worked closely to deliver a facility that reflects the owners’ vision while maintaining a strong commitment to quality, safety, and schedule.

“Every project begins as an idea, but it takes an extraordinary team to transform that vision into reality,” said Kirsten Cavaness, CEO of Green Window Group. “Watching this facility take shape has been incredibly rewarding, and we’re proud to help deliver a place that will serve the Manvel community for years to come.”

With the building’s structural frame now complete, construction will continue with interior buildout, mechanical and electrical systems, and finish work as the project advances toward completion.

“We had the vision, but this project would not have been possible without every person who helped bring it to life,” said Dr. Philip Zachariah, co-founder of Vitala Emergency Center. “From our earliest conversations with the City of Manvel to today’s topping out celebration, this has been a true team effort. We look forward to opening Manvel’s first dedicated emergency center and serving this growing community.”

As part of the celebration, guests were invited to sign the ceremonial topping-out beam, adding their names and messages before it was permanently placed within the building. The tradition honors the collective effort behind the project and serves as a lasting symbol of the partnerships, dedication, and shared vision that will ultimately deliver exceptional emergency care to the Manvel community.
