Our Brand

Our name was inspired, in part, by the architectural vision, mastery and influence of Daniel Burnham, the famous American architect and father of the skyscraper who made a lasting impact in Chicago and across the country.

“Burnham” represents our commitment to helping clients think big, plan smartly and achieve their goals. “Harbor” is a tribute to the harbors of Chicago and symbolizes our focus on helping clients navigate a changing marketplace and achieve financial confidence and peace of mind.

“Make big plans, aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever growing insistency.”

Daniel Hudson Burnham, FAIA

American architect, visionary & influencer – 1846-1912
