What The Martin Architectural Group does

The Martin Architectural Group, P.C. (TMAG) is a privately-held architecture and land planning firm founded in 1967 and headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. The firm delivers comprehensive land planning and architectural design services — from raw-site analysis and density studies through construction documentation and administration — to private-sector real estate developers, national and regional home builders, landowners, property redevelopers, and select public-sector clients. Its portfolio spans single-family homes, townhouses, multi-family residential, mixed-use communities, retail and office buildings, mall repositioning, transit-oriented developments, and senior-living/active-adult communities, with multi-family and mixed-use projects representing over 60% of the firm's work and mall revisioning its fastest-growing sector at 23% of projects. Cumulative output exceeds 30,000 single-family homes and townhouses designed and 100,000 acres of development planned across 25+ US states.

The firm's core offerings are organized around two practice areas: Architecture Services and Land Planning, augmented by a specialized Mall Revisioning practice and, since July 2023, a wholly-owned Breckstone Studio in Wilmington, DE that adds historic preservation, industrial, and specialty consulting capabilities. A notable proprietary asset is the 'Mansion Concept' — a productized three- or four-story wood-framed building template of 18–30 units with individual garages and elevator service, originally designed in the 1990s and continuously deployed for active-adult developers including Beazer, Centex, Toll Brothers, K. Hovnanian, Lennar, and Sturbridge Homes. The firm operates five offices (Philadelphia, Baltimore, Coconut Creek FL, Wilmington DE, New Britain CT) and holds LEED Gold, LEED ND, and net-zero credentials on delivered projects. Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees on multi-year contracts; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Notable named clients/developer partners include Pulte, Lennar, Bozzuto Group, Greenberg Gibbons Commercial, BET Investments, Duffie Companies, David M. Schwarz Architects, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Leadership consists of President Jim Riviello and Principals Drew Romanic and Dan McCauley, supported by Director of Planning Steven Mast and Breckstone Studio head Todd Breck.

Core offering

The Martin Architectural Group provides professional architectural design and land planning services for private sector real estate development. The firm delivers comprehensive services spanning master planning, density studies, architectural design, documentation, and construction administration for residential, multi-family, commercial, mixed-use, retail, office, transit-oriented, and senior living projects.

Product overview

The firm specializes in residential (single-family, multi-family, townhouses), mixed-use, retail, office, and senior living projects. The portfolio includes Mall Revisioning services for transforming struggling retail centers. Breckstone Studio, acquired in July 2023, expanded the firm's capabilities to include historic preservation and industrial projects.
