What Yates Associates Architecture, Inc. does

Yates Associates Architecture, Inc. is a private architectural design firm founded in 1993 by Kelly Yates and headquartered at 330 Clematis Street, Suite 210, in West Palm Beach, Florida, with a secondary office in Winter Haven/Lakeland. The firm provides custom architectural design, planning, renovation, and preservation services across nine service categories: Modern, Transitional, Coastal, SOSO District, Mediterranean, Residential Remodeling, Multi-Family, Restaurant, and Commercial architecture. The portfolio spans custom luxury residences (including estates up to 10,000+ square feet in exclusive communities such as Frenchman's Creek, Windmill Ranch Estates, Landmark Ranch Estates, and Mirasol), multi-family developments (Icon Palm Beach, Driftwood Condominium, Bella Villaggio, Oceanside Townhomes), and commercial projects (multiple Chicken Kitchen locations, Wine Dive, Cypress Key Town Center, Inlet Plaza). The firm's core technology stack is Computer-Aided Design (CADD) and 3D modeling used for architectural visualization and construction documentation across all project types.

The firm operates as a B2B professional services practice on project-based fees, with engagement terms that are quote-based and project-specific, no publicly disclosed pricing, and multi-year contract cadences tied to design and construction document production. Customer acquisition is sales-led and driven primarily by reputation, referrals, and direct relationships within the South Florida luxury real estate and developer community, supported by a portfolio-driven website. The team consists of approximately four core members (Kelly Yates as Founder and Partner, Chris Tyson handling Construction Management and Business Development, David Mahoney as Associate and Project Manager, and Jim Mobley as Project Manager), supplemented by in-house construction management capabilities. The firm is founder-owned with no external institutional investment, no patents, no disclosed partnerships, and no public listing. Geographic scope is concentrated in South Florida (Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, Broward, and surrounding counties) with selective extension into the Winter Haven/Lakeland corridor.
