Our people are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to be an employee-owned company through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This unique structure reflects our commitment to shared success, collaboration, and long-term growth—where every eligible team member is not just an employee, but also an owner.
Our journey toward employee ownership began decades ago with the establishment of retirement and profit-sharing plans designed to reward and empower our team. In 2019, we took a significant step forward by creating an ESOP Trust, opening the door for all eligible employees to participate directly in the company’s financial growth.

Through consistent profit-sharing contributions and thoughtful investment strategies, our ESOP has grown steadily. By 2025, our ESOP Trust purchased a substantial portion of the company’s stock, marking the moment when all participants officially became shareholders in SDG Architects.
Being an employee-owned firm means that each person’s efforts contribute directly to the company’s success—and their own. As shareholders, employees benefit from profit-sharing, annual dividends, and stock value appreciation, aligning personal achievement with company growth.
This ownership culture fosters a deeper sense of pride, responsibility, and connection throughout our team. It drives us to innovate, deliver exceptional work, and build lasting value for our clients and community.
At SDG Architects, ownership is more than a plan, it’s a shared commitment to our future, together.
