Sustainability focus OCBA emphasizes ecological beauty, environmental asset conservation, and lifecycle performance of landscapes, presenting opportunities to offer sustainable design services, green infrastructure, and long-term maintenance planning to clients prioritizing ESG goals.

Regional expansion With an office expansion into Grand Rapids and a presence in Kalamazoo, OCBA can be targeted for multi-location public and private sector projects in Michigan, including university campuses, municipal parks, and corporate campuses seeking consistent landscape architecture services.

Stable revenue Reported annual revenue in the mid-range of small firms ($1M–$10M) suggests readiness for scalable project pipelines, offering upsell opportunities in larger or recurring maintenance contracts, design-build collaborations, and extended service offerings.

Community partnerships Active engagement with diverse and multicultural professional communities (e.g., Taste of Diversity) indicates potential alignment with inclusive, community-centric projects, public venues, and partnerships that require stakeholder engagement and public-facing design work.

Tech-enabled design Utilizes modern web and design tools (Squarespace, Chart.js, Stimulus, Modernizr) signaling capability to deliver data-driven visuals, dashboards, and compelling online project portals to clients, which can be packaged as differentiated presentation and reporting services.
