SANTA ANA, Calif. – HRP LanDesign, a premier landscape architecture and planning firm based in Santa Ana, Calif, has promoted Mark Carlos from senior associate to principal. This is the second promotion to Principal that the company has made this year.

HRP LanDesign has provided landscape architecture services for such master-planned communities as the Newport Coast, Crystal Cove, Northpark, Ladera Ranch, and Rancho Santa Margarita in Orange County, Calif., as well as Valencia and Stevenson Ranch in Santa Clarita County, Calif., and Summerlin Centre in Las Vegas. Urban development/mixed-use projects include Valencia Town Center Drive and the Plaza multi-family community in Santa Monica.

“Mark brings to the management of his projects attention to detail, excellent team organization and superior design creativity that earns his work and our firm, accolades from our clients and industry colleagues,” said James Hogan, senior principal. “His extensive international travels and studies of European landscape design are reflected in his creative thinking and his innovative approach to our projects. He has both the management skills and professional talent to be a firm and industry leader.”
