TKDA expands in Southern California with new Riverside office. The opening of TKDA's new office in Riverside marks an important step in its continued investment in communities throughout Southern California. Its new and expanded office accommodates its growth so TKDA can continue to serve its clients responsively and knowledgably and support the infrastructure that keeps Southern California communities moving, whether that's in commuter and freight rail, surface transportation, public works, or manufacturing. "The opening of the Riverside office is an early step in a broader effort to deepen relationships and grow alongside Southern California's infrastructure needs," said Justino Cruz, TKDA's Southern California Regional Vice President. "TKDA is here to support the area's evolving needs and advance projects with confidence, whether that's transportation networks, public works facility programs, or industrial facilities." Its work is grounded in the idea that infrastructure shapes everyday life. Roads support daily commutes and commerce, rail systems connect regions, and public works and manufacturing facilities keep essential services operating. Each project plays a role in how people experience their communities. Expanding into Riverside builds on its established foundation of providing community-based solutions throughout the region, strengthening its local presence and deepening collaboration with agencies and businesses in the area. Its local team will be better equipped than ever before to help Southern California clients navigate aging infrastructure, evolving communities, and growing demands on transportation and facilities systems. This integrated approach supports that local partnership by bringing together professionals who can deliver comprehensive engineering and design solutions and provide informed guidance at every step of each project. TKDA's Riverside office will open in the third quarter of 2026. Let's Build What's Next Together Every successful project starts with a conversation. Tell TKDA about your goals, challenges, and priorities, and TKDA'll help identify the best path forward.

TKDA's Bloomington office recognized for sustainable design. TKDA's Bloomington office remodel embodies its ambition and shared values, and Tkda is excited to announce that this collaborative project received the Green / LEED Development Project of the Year at the 2026 Minnesota Real Estate Awards. Presented by REjournals, this award recognizes projects that demonstrate leadership in sustainable design and energy efficiency. This recognition reinforces the value of investing in spaces that support environmental responsibility and the people who use them every day. As an employee-owned firm, stewardship is the foundation of what Tkda do. Whether designing infrastructure for its communities, helping businesses and industries thrive, or shaping its own workspace, its work focuses on long-term performance and resiliency. This project was driven by a commitment to create a healthier, more sustainable workplace for its employees. From thoughtful material selection and improved building performance to spaces that maximize daylight and support employee well-being, this remodel reflects how sustainable and people-centered design work together. Initial choices about where to relocate set its project up for success by considering surrounding density, diverse zoning uses, and access to public transportation. The office also features over 100 thermostats, digital HVAC controls, and system-wide enhanced commissioning that optimize comfort and energy usage throughout various work environments. Additionally, efforts to reduce water usage and the inclusion of added occupancy sensors automatically manage its water consumption and lighting based on how spaces are used, helping Tkda do its part to reduce wasteful water and energy usage. The incorporation of key LEED innovation and pilot credits soliciting Occupant Comfort feedback and implementing a Comprehensive Composting program also supported its goal to create a positive and conscientious office that its employee owners can be proud of. Tkda view its office as a reflection of its history, who Tkda is, and where Tkda is headed next. Tkda is proud to see its office receive this statewide recognition and are grateful to its internal teams and the following partners, who all played a significant role in bringing this vision to life. * PlanForce * Mission Construction * Parameters, Ltd. * iSpace Environments * Davis & Associates

TKDA is proud to partner with the City of Porterville to design a forward-looking maintenance facility that supports the City's transition to a zero-emission fleet. The new 25,000-SF facility is being thoughtfully planned to meet the City's operational needs, including maintenance bays, parking, office areas, and breakrooms, while providing the flexibility to service both traditional and electric vehicles during the City's phased conversion to a zero-emission fleet by 2040. To enhance resilience and support the City's long-term sustainability goals, the facility will be connected to the City's microgrid. A microgrid is a localized energy system capable of generating, storing, and distributing electricity independently or while tied to the main utility grid. Microgrids are increasingly used to improve sustainability, manage energy costs, support electrification, and advance decarbonization initiatives. While microgrids often help manage peak loads, this facility's connection is being driven primarily by the need for operational continuity. During storms, natural disasters, grid failures, or brownouts, the microgrid will provide uninterrupted power by utilizing multiple potential energy sources, such as photovoltaics, battery storage, combined heat and power, or generator systems. This will allow essential operations at the maintenance facility to continue even when the broader grid is under stress, reflecting citywide efforts to strengthen resilience against energy disruptions. TKDA helps cities like Porterville lead the advancement of energy-resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Through innovative facility design and strategic energy integration, Tkda is committed to delivering solutions that support its clients' sustainability, electrification, and long-term operational goals.
