Peridian International

What Peridian International does

Peridian International Inc. is a privately held landscape architecture and urban planning firm founded in 1951 and incorporated under its current name in July 1993. Headquartered in Newport Beach, California with a regional office in Guadalajara, Mexico established in 1989, the firm delivers professional services across the full project lifecycle — from site selection, master planning, urban design, land planning, and site analysis through landscape design, construction documents, cost analysis, and field review of construction. The practice is organized around eight horizontal specializations: hotels and resorts, entertainment/leisure/golf, master-planned communities, commercial/office/retail, institutional, parks and recreation, residential, and model homes.

The firm's underlying technology stack is built on conventional landscape architecture and planning methodologies, employing AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and PowerPoint for design production rather than proprietary platforms or AI-driven tooling. Delivery is principal-led: each project is personally managed by one of three principals alongside a licensed Associate Landscape Architect, supported by balanced creative and technical teams and outside consultants as required.

Peridian generates revenue through professional services fees on a project-by-project basis, charging enterprise clients across hospitality, residential development, commercial real estate, healthcare, government, and recreational end markets. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales driven by referrals from allied architects, developers, contractors, and golf course architects (including collaborations with Robert Trent Jones, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Fazio). Marquee clients include Disney Development Company, Ritz-Carlton, Conrad Hotels, Hyatt International, Marriott Vacation Club, Hilton Grand Vacations, Kaiser Permanente, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, and The Irvine Company, with projects delivered across the United States and internationally in markets including China, Russia, Egypt, Japan, Spain, France, Mexico, and the UAE. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the firm has no identified parent company, outside investors, or recent funding rounds.
