Real estate website The Real Deal has compiled a list of the busiest architecture firms in New York City across 2023. The ranking sees architects listed based on their role as architects of record for permit applications filed for new buildings and renovations measuring more than 5,000 square feet across 2023.

“Despite the office market’s bleak outlook, some of the city’s busiest architecture firms were those that specialize in workplace design,” The Real Deal noted.

Under the rankings, both Gensler and RAND Engineering & Architecture are found to be the busiest in the city, with 60 projects filed each. TPG Architecture occupies the third spot with 44 projects, followed by NY Restoration Technology Corp with 41 projects.

The list is rounded out by Arquitectura Valera, Rogers Calvanico Group, Gerald Caliendo Architects, Loffredo Brooks Architects, Curtis + Ginsberg Architects, and Vocon.

Gensler’s position at the top of the ranking correlates with several stories about the firm reported in our editorial across 2023. Last month, we offered an update on a study by the firm into office-to-residential conversion data. Earlier in the year, meanwhile, the firm was tapped to lead the design of a new 80-acre New York Red Bulls training complex, while also setting the record as the first-ever architecture firm to reach 3,000 global employees.

Gensler also featured heavily in Archinect’s end-of-year coverage of 2023, including mentions in our roundup of the year’s top green projects and sustainability innovations and the best in sports architecture and stadiums.
