Today, with offices in Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Tampa and Istanbul, the firm is one of the largest planning and architectural firms in the United States solely dedicated to the principles of the New Urbanism. Torti Gallas has extensive experience with all scales of master planning and building projects in the residential, mixed-use downtown, transit-oriented, and commercial markets, applying jurisdictional needs and code requirements in local, national and international markets. With extensive experience in the public and private sectors, we take pride in balancing the diverse needs of communities with the realities of the marketplace to arrive at buildable solutions that bring value to our clients and to the communities in which we work. In applying this successful, market-focused balance, Torti Gallas has designed over 485,000 residential units and planned over 2,300 residential and mixed-use communities. These projects have resulted in more than $78 billion of construction. Our dedication to full implementation of our designs and masterplans over 69 years of practice enables our team to arrive at inventive solutions for communities and downtowns that provide value to our clients and to the people who will ultimately live, work, learn, shop, visit and play in them.
