With worries of a possible recession creeping across the industry, steady revenue is good news for design firms located in the MidAtlantic region. The 126 firms ranked on the 2022 ENR MidAtlantic Top Design Firm list reported a combined $6.13 billion in regional revenue in 2021, the same amount logged by 126 firms ranked on last year’s list. Last year’s total was a 2.7% decrease from the $6.3 billion logged by 129 firms in 2019.
In the latest ranking—which tracks design work performed in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia—the top 10 firms reported a total of $2.37 billion in revenue in 2021, nearly identical to the $2.38 billion the top 10 collected in 2020.
