STV has been selected to serve as the owner’s representative for Hall County, Georgia’s highly anticipated Judicial Complex expansion. The firm is partnering with Turner & Townsend Heery to deliver a modern, 372,000-square-foot courthouse housing Superior, State and Magistrate courts, along with additional court functions, a new parking deck and supporting judicial services.
The selection further expands STV’s presence in Georgia’s municipal and judicial facilities market, building on recent collaborations with Turner & Townsend Heery on justice and public safety projects across the state. Other projects currently in development include the Norcross Public Safety Building, the Columbus Justice Center and the South Fulton Police Station and Fire Headquarters Building.
“This project represents an important opportunity to deliver a modern, community-focused courthouse that enhances access to justice in Hall County,” said Chad Kastner, MBA, director of program management. “Our approach emphasizes partnership and proactive problem-solving to help the County navigate complex project decisions with clarity and confidence.”
Hall County – which serves over 217,000 residents – has engaged STV to support this high-profile, multi-year project, which requires careful coordination of cost, schedule and quality. The firm, in partnership with Turner & Townsend Heery, will manage all aspects of program execution, including governance, programming, GMP negotiations, construction oversight and stakeholder engagement. The team will also provide planning, budgeting, staffing, procurement support, quality assurance and utility and permitting oversight.
A primary focus will be on seeing that the courthouse meets functional, operational and transparency standards, while addressing cost trends, security requirements, circulation needs and site logistics.
STV’s selection underscores the firm’s experience delivering complex municipal facilities and the value of strong partnerships in advancing public-sector projects.
“STV and Turner & Townsend Heery make a strong team, and we’re excited to continue our momentum across Georgia with projects like this,” said Kastner.
