Our rich history of more than a century includes long-standing client relationships with organizations such as Xavier University, Spring Grove Cemetery, and many of the top land developers in the region.

And when it comes to prestigious land developers in the region, we count more than half of them as our clients. We’ve been involved in many high-profile projects including Great American Ballpark, Paul Brown Stadium, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, and the West Chester Towne Centre, as well as countless hotels, office parks, residential developments, and academic institutions across the country.

Public spaces like Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park bring people together, and keeping them beautiful and welcoming takes ongoing care.

Last week, MSP Design team members Jordan Weber, Chris Balash, and Jacob Bohman volunteered alongside Cincinnati Parks to help maintain this special space.

A big thank you to Cincinnati Parks for the opportunity to give back and help care for a park that so many in our community enjoy!

MSP 170 Anniversary Series: Project Spotlight: The Banks

Some projects become part of a firm’s history. The Banks is one of ours.

MSP has served as surveying consultant to the City and County on The Banks since 1999. As administrations, stakeholders and phases of development have changed, MSP’s knowledge of the site and project has remained a constant.

A little creativity and a lot of cookies! MSP Job Captain Meg McKnight recently led a cookie-decorating class for students at HER Cincinnati’s Scholar House, with a little help from her cookie-decorating crew: Jan Barnhorst, Holly Schaefer, Gabrielle Waters, and Kelsie Ochoa. Together, they spent time with students, sharing creativity, plenty of frosting, and a fun afternoon.

Our relationship with HER Cincinnati goes beyond the projects we work on together, and we were glad to have the opportunity to spend time with the community they serve. Thank you to HER Cincinnati for welcoming our team and making this such a fun experience!

It's always great to see women in surveying coming together to connect, learn, and share their experiences!

Last weekend, MSP Professional Surveyor Renana Gross attended the Buffalo Trace Rendezvous in Borden, Indiana, joining eight fellow women surveyors from Indiana and Kentucky.

Events like these are a great opportunity to build relationships, exchange knowledge, and support one another in the profession. We're glad to see Renana representing MSP and staying involved in the surveying community!

A great day on the course for an even greater cause!

MSP’s Emily Lubbers and Dave Clark participated in Saint Joe’s 37th Annual Cincinnati Golf Classic at Clovernook Country Club. The event brought together 132 golfers and raised more than $76,000 to support Saint Joe’s mission of providing compassionate care and programs for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Thank you to Saint Joe’s for bringing the community together for a meaningful day. We’re grateful to have been part of it!

Congratulations are in order! Last night at the Greater Cincinnati SMPS' Cocktails and Commendations event, MSP Marketing Specialist Kelsie Ochoa was named Member of the Year.

Since joining SMPS nearly three years ago, Kelsie has jumped right in. She serves on the Communications Committee, handles social media and event photography, and never misses a chance to learn something new and bring it back to our team.

Next year, she’ll continue that involvement as Membership Director on the SMPS Greater Cincinnati Board of Directors.

Well deserved, Kelsie. We’re proud to have you on our team!

Please join us in welcoming Shad Sandell to MSP Design!

Shad joined our team in September as a Survey Crew Chief, bringing years of hands-on surveying experience and a strong understanding of field operations. His expertise helps ensure accurate, reliable survey data that project teams can count on throughout the design process.

We're excited to have Shad on the team and look forward to all he'll contribute!

A major addition to Cincinnati’s downtown skyline is underway! The new Cincinnati Downtown Marriott Hotel will bring 700 guest rooms, more than 62,000 square feet of meeting space, and a direct connection to the renovated convention center. Standing 21 stories tall, the hotel will help Cincinnati welcome larger conventions and events while bringing new activity to the surrounding downtown district.

MSP Design’s Survey team is supporting construction of this project in collaboration with Goettle. Senior Crew Chief Mark Vaughn has been among our team members working on-site, helping provide the survey information needed as construction progresses. With completion anticipated in late 2028, we're excited to contribute to a project that will play an important role in Cincinnati's growing Convention District.

On September 17, we had the chance to celebrate 170 years of MSP Design with many of the people who have helped shape our story along the way.

More than a milestone, the evening was a reflection of the relationships behind it, our team, clients, partners, friends, and community members who have been part of MSP’s work across generations.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us, helped bring the celebration together, and continues to be part of where MSP is headed next.

170 years is a history worth celebrating, but the people behind it are what give that history meaning.
