Jonathan Segal, FAIA & Development Company
Jonathan Segal FAIA & Development Company has been awarded six national AIA Honor Awards for their housing work.
They have been responsible for the design and development of over 300 medium to high-density urban residential, mixed use, and live/work units totaling over 300,000 square feet of construction.
Segal is considered one of San Diego, California's most successful and pioneering residential architectural/development companies and has a reputation for providing superior housing at a lower cost than comparable properties. Their focus is exclusively on urban projects, ranging from 80 to 160 dwelling units per acre.
Segal has been the recipient of numerous accolades including 40 local, state and national AIA awards for residential and Urban Design.
Over the past twenty years, Segal has created and modeled the unique practice of "Architect as Developer", a prototype in which the architect has the ability to become the owner, therefore eliminating the client and the general contractor from the design and building process. Segal teaches this concept of "Architect as Developer" in an online video course for architects. You can learn more about the Architect as Developer course at the link..
Jonathan Segal FAIA is also available to serve as an expert witness for development disputes, construction defect litigation, and condemnation law. Learn more about his expert witness services at the link.
