Can how we design our communities define the way we live, work and play? At HDR, we think so.

We design thriving communities by listening to the unique vision of each individual community to resolve complex functional and operational challenges. Through thoughtful planning and design we create spaces that bring people together and enrich the place they call home. Whether that means revitalizing a riverfront to connect growing communities, rebuilding a net zero community on higher ground to safeguard from annual flooding, reimagining a landfill to create a treasured scenic outlook — or anything in between — we can help.

By blending resilient, reliable engineering solutions with transformative design, we partner with communities of all kinds to develop places and spaces that not only support but define their future.
