Regional expansion The firm recently relocated headquarters to Midtown Detroit and expanded offices to Detroit, signaling a strategic push to strengthen presence in Michigan and the broader Northern America market. This creates opportunities for local partnerships, city-scale projects, and potential collaboration on urban design initiatives.

Award-winning credibility Multiple design awards from AIA Michigan and Architectural Detroit Design Awards, along with high-profile projects like Carhartt Workshop and St. John Armenian Church, establish strong credibility. This can be leveraged to win RFPs for institutional, cultural, and commercial clients seeking proven design excellence.

Integrated design leadership As a firm focused on architecture, interior, and urban design with a participatory, dialogue-driven process, MPA positions well for multi-discipline scope projects and value-driven renovations in urban contexts, appealing to clients seeking holistic urban revitalization strategies.

Mid-market focus With a revenue range of 1M–10M and a smaller team size, MPA targets mid-market residential, commercial, and institutional projects. This presents opportunities for service expansions such as design-build partnerships, phased campus or district master plans, and repeat engagements with mid-sized clients.

Digital and security readiness Tech stack includes WordPress, MySQL, Microsoft 365, security tooling, and analytics, indicating solid digital foundations for project storytelling, client portals, and site analytics. This enables proactive outreach with compelling online portfolios and data-driven case studies to close mid-market proposals.
