Arcadis has appointed Alec Zaballero as Principal in its New York Retail Design Studio.
In his new role, he will lead efforts in sustainable urbanism and design excellence, while expanding the practice, developing top talent, and bridging the disciplines of placemaking and architecture.
Dr. Santry joins Arcadis at a pivotal moment in its expansion, bringing her healthcare strategy and thought leadership to position the firm as a one-stop provider for health system design and development rooted in a long legacy of fostering healthy communities.
Arcadis has welcomed Anna Abreu as Living Practice Principal. Under Abreu’s leadership, the firm will expand its capabilities to design beautiful and impactful spaces across hospitality, multifamily, and mixed-use developments.
Long recognized for its engineering excellence and consultancy services, Arcadis is building out its design arm. Key to its growth plans is the strategic hire of six new principals, who signal a new creative era for the firm and the strengthening of its global council for design excellence.
