What Gleason Architects does

Gleason Architects, P.C. is a privately held, owner-operated architectural design firm founded in March 2001 by Thad Gleason and headquartered in Sugar Grove, Illinois. The firm is an Illinois Professional Corporation delivering full architectural and engineering design services from concept through completion, organized around three primary service phases — pre-design (feasibility studies, site analysis, programming, master planning), design (schematic design, design development, value engineering, specifications), and construction administration (field observation, documentation) — supplemented by in-house and consultant-provided civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, landscape, food services, and interior design capabilities. The firm holds architecture licensure in 15 U.S. states and maintains State of Illinois Capital Development Board (CDB) certification as well as LEED design professional credentials.

The firm serves healthcare/senior living, commercial, residential, and institutional/institutional specialty clients, with a clear concentration in assisted living, supportive living, and multi-family housing projects. Named engagements include Oak Hill Supportive Living, Heritage Woods of Batavia and McHenry, Tabor Hills Supportive Living, Green Oaks of Valparaiso, Rising Phoenix, FedEx Freight East, R+L Carriers, and a Batavia workforce housing development, spanning Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and other licensed jurisdictions. Project delivery is offered via Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and Construction Management methods.

The business is a sales-led professional services practice running on direct client engagement by a small team of licensed architects and project managers, complemented by a network of external engineering consultants. The firm reports 1-10 employees, does not publicly disclose revenue, has no external funding, and has no parent company or institutional ownership. Marketing is conducted through professional association memberships (AIA, Life Service Network, Affordable Assisted Living Coalition, Precast Concrete Institute, ICSC) and a basic company website, with no evidence of digital marketing investment since the site's 2016 copyright.
