COOPER CARRY
Since 1960, Cooper Carry has been dedicated to designing spaces that connect people to place. Inspired by our founder, Jerry Cooper, we approach every project with curiosity—asking the right questions to uncover the best solutions for our clients and the communities they serve. Our leadership team consists of both advocates and experts, empowered by decades of experience to shape environments that prioritize placemaking, civic space, and the well-being of communities, tenants, residents, and visitors.
Cooper Carry’s Mixed-Use Ecosystem
Ecosystems bring many diverse contributors together to create something far beyond the capacity of one. They create and capture new and greater value. At Cooper Carry, we approach our work as a collaborative ecosystem. We have multiple studios and services that mix and match daily to provide each project the depth of expertise it needs to meet business objectives. Our breadth of experience goes far beyond broad building types. We offer a deeper level of expertise, engaging in more possibilities and offering more creative solutions. The mixed-use ecosystem allows us to help our clients create the platform on which tenants and target audiences can flourish.

HOSPITALITY
Cooper Carry’s Hospitality Studio creates destinations for leisure, connection, and discovery—where brand, service, dining, wellness, and operational efficiency come together.
We design places that inspire loyalty, tell stories, and create lasting memories by grounding every project in the hotel business fundamentals while bringing creativity and an innovative spirit that allows each place to thrive. From intuitive arrival sequences and engaging public spaces to thoughtfully integrated food, beverage, and wellness experiences, our work is supported by seamless back-ofhouse planning that ensures smooth operations and long-term value.
Our portfolio spans the full spectrum of hospitality environments, including luxury and boutique hotels, destination resorts, urban high-rise and dual-brand hotels, convention and conference center properties, executive education facilities, and mixed-use hospitality destinations. We draw on our breadth of experience to design each destination with clarity, craft, and performance in mind.
