What Innovations Design Group does

Innovations Design Group, Inc. (IDG) is a privately held landscape architecture and land planning firm incorporated in Florida in 2011, operating across four U.S. offices — Orlando (headquarters), Miami, Tampa, and Nashville — and licensed in 11 U.S. states. The firm delivers full-service landscape architecture through the project lifecycle from conceptual design and site analysis through master planning, hardscape and irrigation design, landscape lighting, water feature design, thematic and signage design, and construction administration. Core technology is built on BIM/REVIT, supplemented by in-house 3D modeling and fly-through visualization for client presentations. IDG serves enterprises across nine vertical segments (hospitality and resorts, entertainment, casinos, healthcare, multi-family and residential, retail, mixed-use and urban, office, and large-scale land planning) and reports 864 completed projects, 288 active clients, and project experience in 30 countries spanning the Caribbean, Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America.

The firm's commercial model is a project-based professional services engagement: IDG is engaged directly by project teams — typically alongside architecture firms, real estate developers, hospitality operators, and government clients — and bills on a custom per-project basis determined by scope, scale, and complexity (no public pricing). Marquee enterprise customers disclosed across source material include Universal Orlando Resort (Epic Universe master planning, Volcano Bay, Aventura Hotel), Marriott (Orlando World Center Marriott River Falls), Hyatt Ziva (Jamaica), Hilton (Daytona Beach), Royal Caribbean (Coco Cay $250M transformation), Four Seasons at Amaala (Saudi Arabia), Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, WinStar World Casino and Resort, Nicklaus Children's Hospital, and NBC Universal. Go-to-market is sales-led, with the portfolio website and direct project-team referrals as primary channels and no outbound marketing function described.

Ownership is concentrated among principals Matthew McFadden and Pete Dykstra, supported by Andrew Hughes (Associate Principal / COO) and John Sexton (Associate Principal), with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity. IDG operates as a tightly held professional services firm compounding via geographic reach, sector expertise, and repeat engagements with major hospitality and entertainment operators.
