Jason Soifer, AIA, NCARB

Jason Soifer joined Penney Design Group at the beginning of 2025 after 28 years of experience overseeing the design and execution of over 150 projects across the hospitality, retail, commercial, institutional, and residential sectors. He is passionate about delivering high-quality, sustainable developments that positively impact communities and enhance the built environment. Mr. Soifer’s experience spans concept to completion – including occupancy, warranty walks, and post-project analyses.

Mr. Soifer is a strong communicator and a creative problem-solver; he is adept at collaborating with cross-functional teams of consulting engineers, optimizing project efficiency, and ensuring seamless coordination between design intent and construction execution. He brings an artist’s eye for detail, a craftsman’s dedication to quality, and a strategist’s approach to project success. In combination, those attributes allow him to view the project from the client’s perspective, as well as the GC’s, resulting in a team-like atmosphere of partnership.

Mr. Soifer has been invited to guest lecture for the Master of Real Estate Development program at the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Michigan, a Master of Architecture and a Master of Urban Planning from the University of Miami. He is NCARB-certified and is licensed as a registered architect in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
