“Edwin Bruce Associates has become an extremely valuable key component of Spieker Companies construction and development. They are our outsourced design department, always on call. Their responses are immediate, always ready for our quick turnaround projects. They’re amazingly easy to work with, simply because they understand our business model and keep our interests at the forefront. They are also proactive in guarding us against potential liability. They are true to their word, and have our trust.

They are excellent at dealing with the myriad entitling agencies in the most cost effective way possible. For several thorny red tagged and problem projects they have been ‘heaven sent,’ charging in to take control of the process, smooth ruffled egos, and get the approvals we needed. Total team players, their attitude and actions speak volumes, and state clearly that they are ‘all in’ to achieve our project goals.”


-Kevin Levingston Director of Construction, The Spieker Companies

“Edwin Bruce Associates and the San Jose Redevelopment Agency have been working partners for over 21 years. As the second largest Redevelopment Agency in the State of California we had a very large commercial storefront revitalization grant program called the Façade Improvement Program.

The façade program offered grants to property owners and businesses in the Agency’s 7 Neighborhood Business Districts and Downtown. Edwin Bruce Associates was selected by the Agency to do architectural design for dozens of facades over the two
plus decades. The firm’s dedication to excellence in commercial design was evident in all their projects and the reason for their long relationship with the Agency. Not only did Edwin Bruce understand the architectural context necessary to improve a storefront but also they understood the individual businesses needs and client base. You could not ask for a more knowledgeable, creative and cooperative architectural firm to fulfill your design needs.”


– Richard Keit, Executive Director The Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Jose

“When Zoom Eyeworks Inc. selected Edwin Bruce Associates as the architectural firm for our new offices and distribution center, we required high quality design, a relationship that accepted input and a partner in managing costs and the contractor. Edwin Bruce delivered on all three in a big way. He and his team are now on our list of ‘go to’ professionals.”


– Jeff Linden President, Zoom Eyeworks

“Edwin Bruce Associates has been our go to architect for remodeling at three of our apartment complexes. They’ve always been right there when I reach out, with the firm principal answering the phone or responding to my emails always the same day. And when we work with them, the attitude in the office is that they’ll do whatever we need, as quickly as they can do it, and they are ‘all in’ with the program. They put our interests first.

They helped see us through a very difficult planning process in the City of Sunnyvale and are helping us manage a planning approval process in the City of Mountain View. They have tons of experience, and I feel comfortable knowing that they are there for us from start until the end.

They speak candidly and act honorably, and I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a professional architectural team.”
