At O’Connell Development Group, we bring design and technical precision together to create buildings that perform as beautifully as they look. We partner with leading architectural and engineering firms to deliver thoughtful, site-responsive solutions that meet client goals, regulatory standards, and community expectations across every phase of development.
Our design process is grounded in collaboration. From concept to construction, we align aesthetics, functionality, and cost efficiency, ensuring that every plan reflects a clear understanding of the site, the users, and long-term operational needs.
Integrated Design from Concept to Completion
Our architecture and engineering partners work hand-in-hand with ODG’s development team to create cohesive, buildable designs. We lead the coordination between disciplines to avoid surprises in the field and ensure design intent is carried through construction.
We provide:
- Conceptual and schematic design coordination
- Comprehensive civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering oversight
- Building code, zoning, and accessibility compliance review
- Value engineering and budget alignment
- Integration of sustainable and energy-efficient design principles
Site-Specific, Sustainable Design
Each project begins with an understanding of its context, its topography, neighborhood, and community priorities. We tailor every design to enhance both the function and fabric of its surroundings. Whether it’s a multi-family residential community, a life science facility, or a retail destination, our goal is to balance form and function with environmental responsibility.
Our design approach emphasizes:
- Site-sensitive planning that responds to local conditions
- Energy-efficient systems and envelope design
- Passive House and LEED-aligned strategies
- Long-term durability and low-maintenance materials
- Integration of landscape, lighting, and circulation design
Collaboration that Drives Results
We see design as a continuous dialogue between owners, architects, engineers, and builders. By maintaining that dialogue through every stage of the project, ODG ensures designs are not only visionary, but feasible, cost-effective, and fully aligned with development goals.
We coordinate:
- Regular design review meetings and interdisciplinary workshops
- Seamless communication between consultants and contractors
- Real-time feedback on constructability and permitting requirements
- Continuous refinement through design, documentation, and construction phases
