Jose Carballo has been a major force in urban multifamily residential, commercial, and industrial projects throughout the Northeast, Florida, and the Caribbean since he began his practice in the 1980s. He has often been the go-to architect for private developers needing to gain municipal approvals. His residential projects include luxury, assisted living, and workforce housing, sometimes in combination with retail and commercial uses. His likeminded collaboration with Michael Graves on several multifamily residences naturally led to the Jose Carballo Architectural Group joining the Michael Graves companies in 2022.
