What EDG does

EDG Architecture + Engineering (legal entity GAGE MEYER STASIO ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS, D.P.C.) is a privately held, New York City-based multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm founded in 2003, employing roughly 50–60 professionals. Operating under a "Design + Restore" integrated model, the firm delivers architectural design, structural engineering, building restoration, and project management services from a single headquarters at 58 West 40th Street, Manhattan, targeting commercial and residential property owners, real estate developers, government agencies, healthcare institutions, and hospitality clients across the NYC metropolitan area. Notable enterprise and institutional clients include Tishman Speyer, Related Companies, the New York Yankees, Lotte New York Palace Hotel, the Seagram Building, Mount Sinai, Montefiore, NYCHA, Hudson River Park Trust (Pier 40), and the National Park Service (Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center).

The firm's service portfolio spans new building design, interior renovations, facade restoration under NYC Local Law 11/FISP, parking structure restoration under Local Law 126, historic landmark preservation, and adaptive reuse. It operates a proprietary technology stack including an in-house 3D printing lab (Synthesis) for custom models and prototypes, 3D scanning with Digital Twin and LIDAR (since 2018), FAA-licensed drone inspections (since 2020), AI-assisted zoning analysis and structural assessments, and Revit/BIM modeling. The firm concentrates scarce NYC-specific credentials, holding roughly 5% of the city's Qualified Parking Structure Inspectors (QPSIs), with 20% of staff as Registered Architects and approximately 1-in-5 as Professional Engineers.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees quoted by scope and complexity, with growth driven primarily by word-of-mouth referrals and repeat engagements—95% of work comes from existing clients—and increasingly by a dedicated business development team. The firm has executed 2,950+ projects over 20+ years, appearing on the Inc. 5000 list eight times in the past decade and earning consecutive Zweig and PSMJ industry awards. EDG is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, outside investors, or material M&A activity, and operates a minor supply partnership with Portugal-based Solancis for natural stone sourcing.
