Working with MFA has allowed Memphis Parks to focus on the business of programming, staffing, and operating all of the facilities and parks under our care. They have done a wonderful job of managing more than $75 million in capital projects and managed with several of our larger projects to do the thing all people responsible for capital projects love: deliver them on-time and under-budget. One of the best things about working with the team is access to architects and project managers who have a wealth of experience working on municipal and parks projects. That pre-built knowledge has sped up the process and ensured that small details don't get overlooked.

“On time, on budget. That was the mandate we gave MFA as owners rep for the $200M transformation of the Renasant Convention Center in Downtown Memphis. MFA more than delivered. They found ways to add value during many rounds of VE and did not compromise on quality. Together, we delivered a world class facility that will serve our community for decades – and did it despite an unprecedented period of inflation and a global pandemic that challenged everything from supply chain to workforce availability. Alan, Tom, Scott and Aaron were the drivers of the project’s success”.

Our City of Memphis project had many complicating factors, resulting in three concurrent projects on one site with three different lead consultants. MFA played a critical role in managing the interdependent project schedules and budgets, as well as facilitating communication between the design team, the contractor, and the client. We would be thrilled to work on another project managed by MFA - their involvement helps us as a landscape architecture studio focus on what we do best.
