For the ninth year in a row, the San Francisco-based design giant has topped the list of Architectural Record's Top 300 U.S. Architecture Firms list.

Rounding out the top five, Dallas-based Jacobs made $509.90 million while Los Angeles-based AECOM garnered $439.30 million. Following these firms are HKSHOKStantecSOM, and Perkins Eastman.
