Design Excellence and Milestones
This past year, we celebrated important milestones across our portfolio in Baltimore City, including continued progress at Southern Streams and key developments with the American Cancer Society for their Hope Lodge —work that reflects our commitment to thoughtful, people-centered environments.
The Service Center Multi-family Residential Project continues to earn recognition as it supports the evolving Remington neighborhood community and with the grand opening of Opal, a Transit Oriented Development in Largo, MD we are further positioned to support housing- and community-driven developers in creating spaces that strengthen connection, access, and opportunity.
These projects represent the continued expansion of our portfolio while remaining grounded in our founding market sectors of master planning and mixed-use development—work that lays the groundwork for vibrant, equitable environments that establish or strengthen communities.
Through long-standing relationships with national REITs such as Simon, Hughes Corp, GGP, and others, this work spans phases from early site analysis and redevelopment to storytelling and placemaking.
Together, these projects underscore our belief that strong design emerges from clarity, collaboration, and purpose—across scales and sectors.Leadership, Dialogue, and Industry Engagement
We remain energized by opportunities to participate in meaningful industry conversations. Recently, Gordon Godat was a guest speaker along with other industry peers at the Loyola Sellinger School of Business, sharing ideas and answering questions from students on a wide variety of real estate and development issues touching everything from permitting to site coordination between disciplines.
Last week, John Hutch led a discussion on the Harvest Hall project at the Maryland State Fairgrounds as part of the Content Before Cocktails series hosted by ULI Baltimore. Designed by JP2, Harvest Hall is a new state-of-the-art exhibit and event space that enhances the Fairground's ability to host impactful events, improve fundraising, and continue to educate the state and its visitors on the importance of agriculture.
As our industry continues to support us, we are equally committed to supporting it—through board positions, non-profit volunteer work, memberships, and committee involvement. These roles reinforce the importance of leadership beyond project work as we help shape how our industry thinks about design, strategy, and community impact.Growing the Role of Interiors and Strategy
Across all of this work, one theme remains consistent: planning, interiors, architecture, and strategy are inseparable. Whether supportingorganizational mission, community connection, or long-term growth, our approach integrates early strategic thinking with design execution—ensuring spaces work harder, feel intentional, and truly support the people who use them every day.
As we move further into the year, we’re energized by new opportunities, deepened partnerships, and the continued evolution of our work.
Thank you to our clients, collaborators, and friends for being part of this journey. We look forward to what we’ll build together next.
