Ci Design takes the next step in our strategic plan to grow and expand our practice by opening of a new office in the DC metro area.
Ci Design is excited to announce the opening of a new office in the DC metro area. Located on the 10th Floor of 4040 Fairfax Drive in Arlington, Virginia, our newest office supports the firm’s markets in mixed-use, multi-family, retail, industrial, office, science and technology, and mission critical.
This is Ci Design’s fourth regional office, and the second office opened in recent history, continuing our operation’s expansion into new markets while maintaining our excellent reputation in existing ones. Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, Ci Design also has offices in Boston, Massachusetts and Raleigh, North Carolina.
"Opening an office in the DC metro area reflects our recent successes and our continued commitment to providing exceptional support to our clients in the region," says John Larsen, AIA, NCARB, President and CEO of Ci Design. "The decision to establish a permanent presence in the DC metro area is consistent with our strategic plans for continued growth in the key markets we serve."
With several multi-family projects already underway in Alexandria, Fairfax, Richmond, and Fredericksburg, Virginia, the DC metro area was a likely choice to open our newest office location. As Ci continues to experience growth in science and technology and mission critical work, having a presence in the prominent Ballston neighborhood of Arlington offers us the opportunity for partnerships with corporate research entities along with the many high-technology companies in the region.
“We’ve experienced constant growth in mission critical work over the years, and our clients in that sector have very specific needs that go above and beyond typical design standards,” said Christopher Ladd, AIA, NCARB, Managing Principal, Science & Technology. “Having a presence in the vibrant Ballston district of Arlington offers Ci a great opportunity for partnerships with corporate research entities and many high-technology companies in the region.”
We anticipate future growth in the newly established location with plans to augment staff and capabilities in the DC metro area.
