DeSimone Consulting Engineering

DeSimone Consulting Engineering is a structural engineering firm founded in New York in 1969, now working on tall and complex buildings across the U.S. and internationally. The practice specializes in high-rise structures, and it’s the structural engineer for Lily River Oaks, the 38-story tower Southern Land Company is building in Houston. DeSimone’s portfolio leans heavily toward towers, where efficient structural systems directly shape cost and buildability. With offices in several major markets, the firm pairs structural design with facade and forensic services, supporting projects where the frame and envelope have to work as one system.

DeSimone Consulting Engineering has grown from its 1969 New York City origins into a practice with 19 offices across four continents – including Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, San Francisco, London, Medellin, Abu Dhabi and Dubai – and a portfolio of more than 10,000 projects in 44 states and 55 countries. Alongside its core structural engineering, the firm offers facade design consulting, integrated design and detailing, construction consulting, and forensic and restoration services. That breadth lets it stay involved from a tower’s structural concept through cladding design and construction-phase support. New York City has remained its headquarters throughout.
