Located in the North Loop neighborhood in the historic Colonial Warehouse building, the office is inside the former headquarters of the city's streetcar company.

Our Minneapolis team is known for its collaborative engineers, planners, landscape architects, and urban designers who are committed to a culture of innovation, excellence, and fun.
