Projects Featuring Master Planning & Entitlements
“I’ve hired several architects for cannabis land use projects. ACI was the most impressive group of architects with which I had the pleasure to work. Cannabis licensing is more demanding and nuanced than normal discretionary permits as they are highly competitive; Margit and her team prioritized edits and were critical in the approval of our client’s Marijuana Production Facility license in the City of San Diego. What an added bonus that my favorite architectural firm is also woman-owned! I recommend ACI for any project, especially if the project is in the cannabis space.”
