“Gensler, Perkins&Will, and HDR continued a three-year streak atop Architectural Record’s annual ranking of the top 300 American architecture firms by revenue,” according to an article by Izzy Kornblatt for Architectural Record.

“Gensler reported $1.37 billion in architecture revenue, more than double that of any other firm and a jump from the $1.32 billion it reported in 2021—but still substantially lower than the $1.52 billion it reported in 2020,” adds Kornblatt.

Rounding out the top ten are Jacobs, HKS, HOK, CannonDesign, Stantec, and Perkins Eastman. Half of the top ten did more business than the previous year.

The top 25 of the rankings and the locations of each of the firms can be found at the source article below.
