Dallas’ Merriman Anderson Architects Expands with New Fort Worth Office

MAA has long made its presence known with marquee projects across the Panther City. Now it's put down roots with a new office on West 7th Street, adding to its offices in Dallas, Austin, Cincinnati, and Charlotte.

Dallas-based Merriman Anderson Architects is far from a stranger to Fort Worth, with a long list of projects having made its stamp on the Panther City—from new Bell Helicopter headquarters to top downtown Fort Worth hotels to mixed-use developments, apartment complexes, and more.

Now MAA has added to that lineup with something of its own: a new Fort Worth office.

The firm—which also has offices in Dallas, Austin, Cincinnati, and Charlotte—called its newest one “a strategic addition” to the firm’s presence in North Texas and “a testament to its continuous growth, outstanding reputation in the industry, and optimism for the Fort Worth region.”

Located at 2421 West 7th Street, Suite 320, the new office will enable MAA to serve its clients in the area “with even closer proximity,” the firm said.

“With our marquee set of existing clients, we’re proud of our work and relationships in Fort Worth and are looking forward to increasing our presence in the area,” Milton Anderson, president of MAA, said in a statement. “This expansion is evidence of our staff’s talent and our firm’s dedication to in-person collaboration and market presence. We are eager to bring MAA’s dedication to client service, design excellence, and a family-like culture to our new office in Fort Worth.”

The firm said its team of experts in the new office will provide architecture and design as part of its comprehensive services.
