Kimley-Horn

Kimley-Horn is a national engineering and planning firm headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, founded in 1967. It works across civil engineering, transportation, land development, water resources and planning, with hundreds of offices around the U.S. On Lily River Oaks in Houston, Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer. The firm is consistently ranked among the country’s larger design practices and is known for a broad services model that lets it support a project from entitlement through construction. Its transportation and land-development work touches everything from highways and transit to the site engineering under commercial and residential towers.

Kimley-Horn has grown from three transportation engineers in 1967 Raleigh into one of the country’s larger design practices, with more than 9,000 staff across 140-plus offices nationwide. Its breadth is the selling point: transportation and transit, roadway and bridge design, land development, integrated water management, environmental services, planning, landscape architecture, parking and aviation all sit under one roof. That range lets the firm support an owner from entitlement through construction rather than handing the work between consultants. Privately held and consistently ranked among the top U.S. design firms, Kimley-Horn tends to embed with developers on complex, multi-phase sites.
