Founder/CEO

As a practicing architect and past Executive Vice President of Design for Prescient Co, Todd Meckley provides design, land planning, and technical and financial oversight of projects, delivering full-service building solutions to developers and general contractors nationwide.  He has 25 years of experience in design, development and construction management of a wide variety of high density residential, multi-family, mixed-use and hotel projects.  He has founded and/or established 6 professional offices in his tenure. 

His unique perspective to design is not only architectural, but also one that takes into consideration the developer’s goals. By engaging directly with multi-family developers and understanding the fundamentals of financial underwriting, he makes decisions with an investor mindset. He understands how planning and zoning requirements impact the overall density and financial metrics bring unique challenges to the design process.  His passion and experience in integrating design with development have been touted as key reasons why he achieves successful partnerships with developers. 

As Design Studio Manager for Humphreys & Partners Architects, Charlotte office, he effectively managed the growing team and scaled the business from 4 to 12 design professionals.  Under his leadership, he designed and managed the construction of dozens of garden style, Big House® and midrise housing projects with a focus on the mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions.

In 2004 he founded Entasis Design Architects, focusing design and development efforts on multi-family projects nationwide.  Over an 11-year period, he designed, managed and constructed nearly 6,000 garden-style and midrise multi-family units and 12,000 beds of purpose-built student housing.  He grew the firm to 15 employees by 2015, when the practice was sold to BSB Design, Inc. 

As the new National Multi-Family Market Segment Leader for BSB Design, he led 8 offices nationwide to expand their fiscal reach and scale the multi-family business, growing the Charlotte office from 15 to 40 design professionals including interior design.  Within 6 months, he was voted by his peers and partners to join the Board of Directors for senior leadership in the market segment.  Throughout his tenure, he was integral in designing and leading nearly 3,500 units of multi-family and 8,000 beds of purpose-built student housing nationwide. 

In late 2018, he joined Charlotte-based construction technology company Prescient Co. to lead national and global teams in improving their design process within the multifamily industry. He has implemented a “Lead by Design” approach, actively engaging with institutional and regional developers to perform complex feasibility studies on projects.  He led over 100 employees globally who coordinate daily with the developer, general contractor, architect of record and sub consultants from concept to permit approval.

In June 2021, he founded architectural consulting firm Visionary Consulting PLLC to focus his experience and dedication to U.S. based projects and client base.  He consults with Owners nationwide in determining best practice and financial feasibility of multifamily and mixed-use projects.
