YARD & CO. OPENING OKC OFFICE

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK - July 31, 2024 - Yard & Company, a rapidly growing design-build studio for places, is opening a new office in Oklahoma City. The firm, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, works with cities, districts, neighborhoods and developers across the country to change the way places change.

“We are a boutique team of creative designers, architects, development strategists and planners that are passionate about helping cities and places positively change,” said Kevin Wright, Principal and Co-Founder of Yard & Co. “Our company has seen rapid growth in recent years, particularly in the lower midwest and south. This new location will help us continue to serve our clients and partners in this region.” With multiple projects currently ongoing in Tulsa and a recently completed project in the West Village District in Downtown OKC, the timing of the opening of this office is perfect. As part of the expansion Yard recently added Layne Ferguson and Landon Ferguson to the team. The duo will be leading the Activation and Branding divisions of the company.

“Landon and I are excited about building a team in Oklahoma City that can work with cities, districts and developers on creating places that are centered around people,” said Layne. “What attracted us to Yard was their vision to be able to holistically think about a place. Our team has expertise in not just the development and design of urban development, but also in how to activate, operate and share the story about that place.”

“Layne and I have created multiple small businesses in Oklahoma City over the past few years and are excited to continue investing in this city. We hope to grow work in this region while continuing to work with Yard on creating great places around the country.” said Landon Ferguson.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have these two on our team. Not only are they well known and plugged in regionally, they are also incredibly experienced and talented and they are helping us grow our service offerings. This doubles down on our ability to comprehensively help cities, districts, neighborhoods, developers, corporations and philanthropic organizations manage and plan for development,” said Joe Nickol, Principal and Co-Founder at Yard & Co.
