What Torti Gallas + Partners does

Torti Gallas + Partners (TG+P) is a privately held architecture, urban design, and planning firm founded in 1953 and headquartered in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The firm delivers integrated services spanning architecture, urban design, planning, retail and placemaking, real estate strategy, zoning and entitlement, sustainability, and community facilitation across project types including transit-oriented development, mixed-use developments, housing (affordable, market-rate, senior, workforce, and military), master planning, neighborhood revitalization, and municipal planning. Its technology stack centers on BIM, 3D modeling, charrette-based community engagement workshops, and data-driven real estate analytics (demographic research, void analysis, competitive analysis, and financial modeling) used to substantiate project programs before design begins.

TG+P operates from four offices in Washington, DC (HQ), Los Angeles, Tampa, and Istanbul, and reports designing over 500,000 residential units and earning 400+ national awards across its 70+ year history. Revenue is generated on a project-fee professional services basis, with clients including large real estate developers (URW Westfield, Hoffman & Associates, Focus, Regency Centers, Fifteen Group), housing authorities and public agencies (Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority, HUD Choice Neighborhood programs), and institutional clients. New business is acquired through senior principal-led relationship management targeting mid-market to large project developers and government entities, with no resellers or digital channels. The firm expanded its capability set on May 1, 2026, through the acquisition of Wiencek + Associates Architects + Planners, adding multifamily, affordable, senior, supportive service housing, adaptive reuse, and interior design capabilities under the Torti Gallas flag.
