St. Louis-based professional architecture/interiors firm HDA Architects is celebrating its 35-year Anniversary this month.
With more than 100 million SF of projects in 44 states at a construction value of over $3 billion, HDA continues to be a leader in innovative architecture and LEED-certified buildings.
In 1986, HDA president Jack Holleran and Mark Duitsman (now retired) envisioned a firm that could provide exceptional design and customer service, focusing primarily on office and retail projects.
In the early 1990s, HDA was recognized as an “elite design firm” for the design of 13 office buildings along the Highway-40 corridor in St. Louis as well as several offices nationwide.
Diving headfirst into the new millennia, HDA turned its focus to a new market niche designing facilities for beverage wholesalers, including Silver Eagle Distributors, the second-largest beverage wholesaler in the U.S. That market change allowed for additional growth into the craft brewery and multifamily market sectors.
In the fall of 2020, HDA joined forces with Green Street St. Louis to create a fully-integrated design, construction and development company. HDA now assimilates under Green Street’s umbrella of services to provide a full spectrum of design-related opportunities for Green Street, while continuing to provide professional design services to its multi-state platform of clients in the office, industrial, beverage, multi-family, hospitality, mixed-use and craft brewery market sectors.
“Being in business for 35 years is a huge milestone. We are thrilled for our next chapter with the recent merger with Green Street St. Louis and have many milestone projects in the works,” said Patrick Holleran, HDA vice president.
The team is currently working on renovation of The Armory building to include destination entertainment venue, Rec Hall, along with a new multifamily development in Downtown St. Louis at 1801 Washington Avenue.
"We attribute our success to selectively targeting clients and projects, offering superior design and construction drawings and always doing the right thing,” said Holleran.
HDA is a St. Louis-based architecture and interiors firm designing more than $3 billion worth of beverage wholesalers, interiors, industrial/distribution centers, power retail centers, auto dealerships, multifamily developments, mixed-use and craft breweries.
