ATLANTA, GA – A robust commercial real estate market in 2014
fueled substantial growth for internationally recognized design firm Cooper
Carry.
The firm, which is active in public and private sectors ranging from
hospitality to research laboratories, expanded its design portfolio by an
additional 122 new projects.
The resurgence of the market also led to a 35 percent
increase in the number of design professionals across its Atlanta, New York and
Washington, D.C. offices to accommodate new projects across all of the firm’s
13 specialty practice groups.
The New York office
also recently relocated to a new studio in Lower Manhattan, one of the city’s
burgeoning meccas attracting designers and other creatives.
“2014 is the first year since the collapse began in 2007
that Cooper Carry has seen growth in each of the practice areas that we serve
as well as in each of the geographic markets served by one of our offices,”
said Cooper Carry President and CEO Kevin R. Cantley.
“In addition to
the expansion of the volume of our business, we have enjoyed the increase in
demand for innovation, particularly in the design of the workplace for several
corporations.”

The overall growth in the market is especially reflected in
the hospitality sector. Cooper Carry’s hospitality practice was awarded 14 new
hotel projects in 2014.
The firm designed 10 hotels that were delivered this
year, including Hyatt Place hotels in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, and the
Villa Christina Hyatt in Atlanta. The 2.4 million square feet delivered
represents over 3,000 keys.
Of significance was the opening of the 4,000th
Marriott hotel, the 1,175-key Marriott Marquis in Washington, D.C., designed in
collaboration with tvsdesign.
