The Architect's Choice

McIntosh Poris Architects Trusted JRC to Build Their Own Home

An architect spends every day imagining how a space should come together: the structure, the light, the details that separate good from exceptional. So when an award-winning architecture firm decides to build something of their own, the question of who they hand it to says everything.

McIntosh Poris Architects chose JRC.


Founded in 1994 and named AIA Michigan's 2024 Firm of the Year, MPA is one of Detroit's most respected design practices. When they relocated their practice to Detroit, they didn't shop the work around, they brought it to a builder they already knew and trusted. JRC delivered their new 3,580-square-foot office, and we're proud to announce the project is complete.


There's no tougher client than the one who designs buildings for a living. Every line is scrutinized, every finish held to a standard. That's exactly why this one matters. An architect inviting us to construct their own workspace is the clearest endorsement of a partnership built on trust, shared standards, and dependable execution.


We've built alongside MPA before on Higginbotham, New Center Plaza, Parent Street Lofts, and more. This time, we built for them. And we'd do it again tomorrow.

Mid-Year Momentum



Halfway through 2026, and the pace hasn't let up.


We've delivered at every scale this year, from a 3,580 SF architect's office built to the most exacting standards, to the largest Powerhouse Gym in the world. We've completed Phase One at HealthCall. We're preparing to break ground on new multi-family housing in Detroit. And we're welcoming national names like Ford, Bedrock and Kroger to the JRC roster.


What ties it together isn't square footage. It's the way our teams show up with coordination, discipline, and relationships that turn a set of drawings into something real. The first half of the year proved what this team can do. The second half is where we build on it.


We're just getting started.

Cutting the Ribbon on the World's Largest



The doors are officially open. JRC joined ownership, partners, and the community to celebrate the ribbon cutting at Powerhouse Gym at Partridge Creek.


The 120,000 SF adaptive-reuse project transformed a vacant former Carson's department store into a multi-level fitness destination.


Seeing the crowd walk through doors our team built is what it's all about.

BUILDING HOPE • TEAM JRC

We Walked for Bernie.


On June 17, Team JRC laced up and hit the pavement to raise funds for glioblastoma research in honor of our founder, Bernie Ronnisch, whose legacy continues to shape 
how we lead, build, and support one 
another every day.


Thanks to the generosity of our employees, partners, and friends, Team JRC raised more than $8,000 for glioblastoma research. Every dollar goes toward the work that brings hope to families facing one of the most devastating diagnoses there is.



The race is over, but the fight isn't. 
You can still give.

"Trust isn't given on day one - it's earned on every job, and then asked for again on the next week. When clients keep coming back, and when an architect hands us their own office, that's the scoreboard that matters."
