RSP Expands Presence in Fort Worth with Move to New Space

Events |

FORT WORTH, TX (23 June 2016) – RSP Architects has relocated in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. After expanding its professional staff by 22 percent in the past four years, the Minneapolis-based architectural firm has moved to a larger, more visible office in downtown Fort Worth. The move supports the firm’s rapid growth serving national retail and distribution clients. RSP ranked as the sixth largest retail design firm in the country in the 2015 VMSD Top Retail rankings.

“This move is the visible result of our team’s consistent focus and expertise in retail and distribution,” said Ed Hess, RSP Associate Principal. “We opened the RSP office here in 2012 with a handful of architects and engineers and quickly established a strong practice. Today, our Fort Worth team is delivering truly innovative Architecture/Engineer design work for some of the country’s best brands: Whole Foods, Nestle, UPS, PetSmart, Walmart and Walgreens.”

The RSP Fort Worth team provides architectural and engineering expertise to national retailers, assisting with national store programs and distribution/warehouse. The team completes hundreds of projects a year ranging from ground-up to renovation or expansion. As one of the largest retail firms in the country, RSP’s Fort Worth office complements RSP’s Minneapolis office, providing strength of service throughout the central region of the U.S. The addition of the Fort Worth engineering staff, with a specialization in distribution/warehouse, has allowed RSP to broaden its practice significantly.

“It was time for RSP to really announce its presence in Texas,” said Steve Hall, RSP Associate Principal. “We’ve been quietly building our book of business here and really focused on delivering smart solutions for our clients. But now RSP is looking to expand the practice once again, capitalizing on other core competencies like corporate and facilities information management. This new office is more visible and will help us better serve current clients and attract top talent.”

The first day in the new space is Monday, June 20. The address is:
RSP Architects
600 West 6th Street, Suite 100
Fort Worth, TX 76102
