Corporate History and Ownership
Mackenzie was founded in 1960 by Tom Mackenzie and became Mackenzie Engineering, incorporated in 1968. Architect Rick Saito, who joined the firm as a drafting intern in 1968, partnered with Tom to form Mackenzie/ Saito & Associates in 1977. The companies merged in 1996 and became Group Mackenzie to better reflect a shift to a collaborative approach to partnership. In 2004, the company opened offices in Seattle and Vancouver, Washington. In 2013, the firm underwent a carefully considered process of rebranding, and emerged, proudly, as Mackenzie.
UNIFIED DESIGN SERVICES
Architecture
Our multifamily group is led by our architectural team, with a unified, clientfocused approach to projects. We have assembled a team of project managers, architects and design staff with a resume of multifamily experience both at and prior to joining Mackenzie. This diverse collection of talent provides a blend of deep-rooted industry knowledge with a passion for new ideas for our next generation of housing in our communities.
Interior Design
Our interiors group blends multifamily, workplace, and hospitality design experience, leveraging the trends in each industry as the lines of live, work and play are increasingly blurred. They bring a passion for the human element to design and the creation of healthy, well-designed interior environments.
Land Use Planning
Beginning as early as the site selection process, our land use planners differentiate Mackenzie from other firms. Our planners are dedicated to evaluating potential sites, developing overall entitlement and development strategy, and navigating the team through approval processes. Additionally, we provide monitoring of upcoming public policy and regulatory issues that may impact multifamily projects.
Landscape Architecture
The landscape team pursues the creation of meaningful places. We achieve this through design solutions that simultaneously meet the client’s goals, reflect the values and characteristics of the community, and amenitize multifamily projects with outdoor spaces to create a sense of community.
Transportation Planning
Mackenzie’s transportation planners strive to achieve safe, balanced, and efficient multimodal systems to serve multifamily projects while supporting livability in our communities. They also bring particular strength to parking strategies that achieve a balance between jurisdictional priorities with specific project needs to effectively serve the market.
Structural Engineering
Our structural engineers bring a balanced approach to structural design with experience in wood, steel, light frame, and mass timber systems. With projects where the structure drives much of the cost of construction, our engineers work closely with the design team, Client, and Contractor to balance priorities for cost-effective solutions.
Civil Engineering
Our civil engineering staff excel with fast-track projects; have experience in stormwater design, drainage, construction staging strategy, and public improvements; and balance the various needs on multifamily sites where cars, bikes, and people need to share valuable outdoor space. We focus on anticipating problems and identifying solutions, expediting the permit process, meeting crucial time schedules, and forecasting budgets.

There are many considerations that guide the design process and development of goals that lead to successful, sustainable projects. Some of these include:
Environmental, Social, and Governance Initiatives
While environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives generally relate to the internal corporate actions of firms, grounding projects within the ESG framework reflects our values in how we invest in the community, the region, and future generations. We value the importance of ESG principles and recognize our responsibility to consider them with every aspect of a project to achieve holistically sustainable outcomes.
Livability and Lifestyle
Mackenzie’s multifamily projects are guided by the aspirations, daily routines, and cultural preferences of the people who will inhabit them. The common thread between our projects is an effort to support and enhance the lives of the people that inhabit the spaces we design.
Placemaking
A truly successful multifamily project is more than the sum of its parts. To achieve this, we harness our experience in branding and placemaking. This is an integrated design endeavor, leveraging the expertise of our in-house design team.
ESG INITIATIVES
We recognize our responsibility to and the importance of Corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. The following details how we are embracing ESG principles and why they are crucial for our business and the communities we live and work in.
Corporate ESG in Our Industry
Environmental (E)
Mackenzie has extensive experience in several green rating systems, including the US Green Building Council’s LEED, the Green Building Initiative’s Green Globes system, Earth Advantage, and Phius. Every client’s situation is unique, and the certification process best suited to their goals and vision may be different, and we tailor our approach accordingly.
Commitments
American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2030, an actionable climate strategy that sets standards and goals for reaching net zero emissions in the built environment.
Structural Engineering 2050 Challenge, set to transform structural engineering by prioritizing reduction of embodied carbon through using less impactful structural materials. We are firmwide focused on working toward net zero embodied carbon structural systems by 2050.
Social (S)
The “S” in ESG underscores our dedication to social responsibility and ethical practices within our industry. Our objectives include:
Actively promoting and engaging outside organizations committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as part of Mackenzie’s Community Investment Plan.
Embracing a design process that prioritizes inclusionary solutions through community engagement and evidence-based design.
Supporting the next generation in our industry through internships, mentorship, and scholarships to K-12 and college (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) BIPOC students.
Fostering diversity and inclusion within our workforce and ensuring the well-being and professional development of our employees.
Governance (G)
Governance plays a critical role in maintaining ethical and responsible business conduct. Our commitment to governance includes:
Providing company leaders with the tools to foster an anti-racist and anti-biased workplace.
Training all to collectively learn how to build a culture of inclusion.
Committing to holding ourselves accountable to create an inclusive and just community through transparent reporting and setting clear expectations for our engagement in the workplace.
A transparent and ethical leadership structure.
Commitment to pay equity, financial transparency, and accountability.
Benefits of Embracing ESG Initiatives
As a privately held corporation since 1960, our focus on ESG ensures the long-term sustainability of our business. We aim to lead by example, driving innovation, and responsible practices within our field. We believe that by prioritizing ESG initiatives, we can create lasting value for our clients, employees, shareholders, and the communities we serve. As we continue to integrate ESG into our business practices, we are confident in our ability to thrive in an ever evolving industry while contributing to a more sustainable and socially responsible future.
Livability and Lifestyle
Each project’s amenity set is carefully curated to engage the particulars of the market at hand, and to holistically meet the needs of its inhabitants. We weave Mackenzie’s broader experience into our approach to livability, particularly in the design of common areas, mixed-use opportunities, and shared resources.
Inclusive Design
Spatial inclusion is an often overlooked form of equity in the built environment. Mackenzie strives to make all of our designs inclusive by considering principles beyond accommodating for physical diversity. Mackenzie designs for a wide range of preferences, cognitive abilities, and racial, cultural, and gender diversity to create places that feel welcoming, that area easy to navigate, and inclusive to all.
The common thread between Mackenzie’s multifamily projects is an effort to support and enhance the lives of the people that use our design. For example, we’ve been frequently tasked with creating urban environments in suburban settings, aligning the design with a desired lifestyle, and operating outside preconceived notions.
We design living space that accommodates the differing needs of diverse lifestyles, and offers an authentic sense of comfort.
Shared areas are designed to build community and support a property’s unique identity.
We carefully examine the relationship between indoor and outdoor space, using biophilic principles to enhance tenant experience and maximize amenity potential.
Placemaking
The form and function of amenity spaces help build a multifamily project’s culture and identity over time, and are essential differentiators in a competitive landscape. We avoid general assumptions, and dig deep into demographics and our clients’ vision to design compelling places that fully engage the imaginations and aspirations of future tenants.
Our multifamily projects reflect and enliven their community context while maintaining a complementary identity of their own.
Well-curated amenities and communal spaces set the foundation for a vibrant community, and provide an opportunity for differentiation in the market.
We focus on connections both within the building and with the surrounding neighborhood, and offer the ability to strategically explore mixed-use possibilities.
We engage the community to gain consensus with the users and surrounding community to create buildings that are grounded in place and part of the surrounding context.
How the community is invited to participate in the design process is critical to the success of any multifamily project. Thoughtful, accessible, and thorough community engagement efforts are needed to reach the tenants, and neighbors, as well as jurisdiction and operational staff. Engagement early in this process helps create a shared long-term vision that reflects the values, priorities, and diversity of the community and future residents.
OSU Higher Ground Housing
Newport, OR
Student and family housing at an Oregon coastal city university campus.
The Science Center is relocating the housing for their students and faculty to a tsunami-safe zone.

In a renewed effort, OSU is pioneering a design-build strategy for this project. Mackenzie has partnered with O’Brien-Lucas Ventures, a JV partnership of O’Brien Construction & Lucas Design-Build, a minority business enterprise. The building is designed for mass timber floor plates adapted to withstand the harsh coastal conditions. Dynamic planning in response to insufficient local labor and long lead construction planning needs due to the remote coastal location.

Housing for “missing middle” and multi-generational households.
The masterplan organizes the buildings around greenway corridors and pedestrian links to create a walkable community. Additionally, three distinct park-like spaces provide areas of community gathering, play space and natural area organized around a story of sustainable stormwater management. The project requires new infrastructure improvements including a new public street, roundabout and public utilities that connect two areas of the North Albany community to improve the overall connectivity of the neighborhood. To address the sensitivity of the surrounding neighbors, they were engaged through community meetings and their input resulted in design solutions such as traffic calming strategies on the public street, improving pedestrian connections, and reducing the density of the development closer to the adjacent single family neighborhood.
