Lord Aeck Sargent’s focus is on creating vibrant urban communities that prioritize walkability and livability, viewing each community’s-built environment as a unique collage shaped by its people, politics, and location. Embracing the principles of good urbanism, such as diversity, connectivity, and sustainability, Lord Aeck Sargent is recognized for its expertise in public involvement, graphic communication, and effective implementation strategies. Our portfolio encompasses myriad projects, including mixed-use developments/communities, downtown master plans, streetscape designs, transit & trails development and urban public spaces & parks, with services ranging from master planning to construction administration.

We boast a diverse design staff with expertise in design and planning, comprising registered architects, urban planners, landscape architects, arborists, and zoning specialists. These efforts have led to the creation of new trails and paths, greenspace at top-tier educational institutions and housing developments, extensive parks and open spaces, and miles of enhanced streetscapes. By prioritizing clear communication and integration within the broader community and stakeholders, Lord Aeck Sargent assists clients in developing projects that seamlessly fit their surroundings and contribute positively to the urban fabric.
