The local offices of STV consist of more than 300 professional and technical staff providing architecture, land planning,

STV’s professional staff have provided services on diverse projects for private and local governmental clients. The
firm has a record of reliability in fulfilling contracts within scheduled deadlines and budgetary constraints with consistently
high standards of performance. We recognize the need for a combination of interdisciplinary professional
experts, including architects, planners, engineers, landscape architects, environmental specialists, contractors, owners,
and users in development of successful projects. This all-encompassing effort has resulted in a history of successful
projects throughout the United States.
STV has successfully completed residential, industrial, institutional, and commercial retail development projects in
Pennsylvania and the Northeast, all of which have required community presentations, consensus building, master
plan preparation, participation in design charrettes, and partnering with community associations and tenant council
groups. We are quite familiar with the process of obtaining approvals for selected plans from departments of public
works, planning departments, planning commissions, and local zoning boards.
STV has been at the forefront of developing planning and design alternatives and solutions that build consensus
among stakeholders. Our unmatched experience in project management provides us with the necessary sensitivity and
background to resolve the often compelling constraints of design complexities.
