TIFFIN, OHIO – October 9, 2025 – McCall Sharp Genet has opened a new architecture branch office in the historic district of Downtown Tiffin. The office, located at 120½ S Washington St, Suite 209, officially opened on September 1, 2025. The firm’s main office is based at 14 East Main Street, Springfield, Ohio.

McCall Sharp Genet is an established architecture firm with seven employees. The firm provides services across a wide range of projects, including residential, commercial, and municipal design. Over the past decade, McCall Sharp Genet has developed a strong specialty in designing fire stations, completing approximately one project of this type each year, including the Danbury Fire Station in 2022. Projects range in scale from home additions to a $30 million behavioral health facility.

The Tiffin branch will be led by Craig Genet, a Tiffin native and part owner of the firm. Genet graduated from Calvert High School in 2008 before earning degrees in Architecture from Ball State University (2012) and Miami University (2014). He began his career with McCall Sharp Architecture in 2014, obtained his architecture license in 2018, and became part owner in 2024. His professional experience includes work on historic renovations, new municipal buildings, and residential design.

Genet explained the decision to establish the Tiffin office as a combination of family and professional reasons. He and his wife chose to relocate to Tiffin to be closer to family following the birth of their second child. At the same time, McCall Sharp Genet sought to expand its business beyond the Springfield region as part of its long-term growth strategy.

“I wanted to be at the center of economic action in Tiffin, alongside many other local small businesses, and I wanted to be able to walk or ride my bike to work every day,” said Genet. “Walkable and bikeable communities are the most vibrant communities for living and working, and I want this office to embody that.”

Mayor Wilkinson commented, “We are proud to welcome McCall Sharp Genet to Downtown Tiffin and especially excited to see Craig Genet, a Tiffin native, return home to invest in our community. Their presence in our historic district not only strengthens our downtown but also adds to the growing momentum of professionals choosing Tiffin as a place to live, work, and thrive.”

The Tiffin office will operate Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Appointments are recommended.

In 2014, the City of Tiffin partnered with local organizations to serve as the official downtown development entity. Tiffin Tomorrow was incorporated into this effort, which now operates under the Seneca County Collaborative as the Downtown Development Board, the governing body for downtown revitalization efforts.

Since 2015, Downtown Tiffin has proudly participated in Heritage Ohio’s Main Street Program, further strengthening its commitment to historic preservation, economic vitality, and community engagement.
