About Tod Elkins
I have more than 25 years of diverse and award-winning architectural experience specializing in multifamily, mixed use, office, and historic rehabilitation projects. I began my career in Boston working on a variety of multifamily and adaptive reuse projects, then spent many years working on a variety of projects ranging from townhouse developments to floating casinos, then came full circle by again focusing on urban infill projects including multifamily, office and retail for the past 11 years.Born and raised on the East Coast and educated on the West Coast, I bring a national perspective to projects and am known for my ability to effectively manage multiagency projects and develop and deliver creative and strategic solutions for challenging and complex projects. I pride myself for my ability to put myself in the owner’s shoes, and go out of my way to help manage risk, solve problems, and make the design process enjoyable and rewarding.I currently serve as a board member of the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association and previously served with the North Loop Neighborhood Association.Areas of Expertise • Architectural Design• Multifamily • Mixed-Use• Affordable Housing• Adaptive Reuse• Urban Infill• Sustainable Design
