MSA ranks #161 nationally in the 2026 Giants 400 rankings, marking another milestone in the firm’s 10th year.
Market Square Architects (MSA) has been named to Building Design+Construction’s 2026 Top 200 Architecture Firms list for the first time, ranking #161 nationally.
Part of the publication’s annual Giants 400 rankings, the list recognizes the nation’s largest architecture firms working in nonresidential and multifamily building design.
The recognition comes as MSA celebrates its 10th anniversary. Founded in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 2016, the firm has grown from two architects with a shared vision into a multidisciplinary practice with offices in Portsmouth, Nashville, and Austin, serving clients nationwide.
That growth has followed a simple pattern: strong client relationships lead to successful projects, which create opportunities to build new relationships, expand into new markets, and deepen our experience.
That evolution means that our clients have access to broader expertise and greater project capacity while maintaining the collaborative, hands-on approach that has defined MSA since the beginning.
We’re proud to reach this milestone and grateful to the clients, partners, and team members who helped make it possible.
