We Are
McKenna

We see an opportunity on every corner, in every community we serve. No matter the obstacles, no matter the scope, we get down to the details with you to plan, design, and build communities for real life.

Who We Are

Our toolkit is detail-oriented
and comprehensive.

Planning

We work with communities to define their common vision, then develop it into forward-thinking master plans, policies, projects, and programs.

Design

Our landscape architects and urban designers are masters of creating thoughtful, seamless spaces that move communities ahead.

Building

We live in the details of thriving and challenged municipalities alike—and that extends to the building codes, regulations, and administration that comes with it.
