The M2L Difference
CHANGING COMMUNITIES ONE PROJECT AT A TIME
M2L Associates is proud to be changing our community one project at a time. Historic Emancipation Park and Emancipation Avenue. Downtown Houston’s Main Street Square and METRO light rail project. Holocaust Museum Houston. MacGregor Park. More than 120 public parks and countless communities throughout the Texas Gulf Coast region. With almost three decades of projects in the books, we’ve developed a diverse portfolio that represents hundreds of projects and covers every landscape category. We’re particularly proud of our distinctive expertise in parks and recreation design, community and district master planning, and public-sector partnerships and redevelopment efforts. But no matter the size or scope — high profile or little known, public or private sector, urban renewal or suburban expansion — it has been our privilege to leave a rich legacy of work that unites, connects, engages and inspires those who experience it.
A SMALL FIRM THAT DELIVERS BIG RESULTS
There’s a reason we can compete with large firms and enjoy a strong, enduring reputation that brings our clients back time and time again: We’re a small firm that delivers big results. Whether you are an architect, engineer, municipality or community leader, you can count on us to do our job so you can focus on yours. With M2L as a partner on your project, you’ll enjoy a highly collaborative and flexible process that ensures we capture your vision, with less anxiety and more peace of mind during the process. And with M2L’s unparalleled level of principal involvement, your project benefits from decades of cumulative design expertise, creative problem solving, and concise communications with you and your stakeholders. We take every project personally because we stake our reputation on every project.
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR LASTING VALUE
We know it’s bold to stake your claim on sustainability, but we do just that. We were passionate about the environment and how to make it more beautiful and sustainable before it was fashionable. We want to leave every space better when we’re done than when we started, without stripping natural resources or being poor stewards of the spaces with which we’ve been entrusted. That means we bring our expertise as certified arborists, in LEED implementation and design, infrastructure design, green-roof design, landscape organics, and native plants to create finished spaces that extend and expand on a project’s natural resources. We strive to reduce environmental impact and conserve natural resources throughout the design. Today that’s called sustainability. We’ve always called it good business, wise stewardship and doing the right thing — for our clients, our communities and the environment.
STRONG RELATIONSHIPS FOR BETTER PROJECTS
Professional services firms like ours are all about relationships. Our long and deep experience on hundreds of projects over three decades serves us well, facilitating strong, collaborative relationships with leading architecture and engineering firms, community leaders, and municipalities. We put our specialized skills and hard-earned reputation to work on every project we undertake because we want to be your first choice for your next project. We’re proud of our long list of clients who have come to trust us not only for our talent and expertise but also for the value we provide. The measure of success we covet is our clients’ recommendation of our services to others.
LEADING WITH INTEGRITY AND SERVICE
Leading with integrity, doing the right thing and making a difference are values that extend beyond the projects we deliver. We seek to lead with strong values and a firm commitment to our community. That’s why we support several outstanding philanthropic causes in the greater Houston area and beyond — and we encourage the efforts of our employees to stay involved and regularly give back to their communities. On a more personal level, our principals have deep roots in Houston, Austin and the Lone Star State, and we are passionate about making our communities better places to live and work.
