One of the first sustainable projects of MBH is the 100,000 Target square foot store, built in 1995, Fullerton, CA. It was labeled the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Showcase and the first "green" Target building for the use of skylights that cut the original energy consumption by 24% with a 5 year return. Target was awarded the "Green Ally of the Year Award" for this store.

In June 2000, the company paid a large fine to the Business Software Alliance for using a number of unlicensed software.

Like many other companies involved in construction, MBH suffered in the late-2000s recession: its income fell by half that forced it to lay off 160 of its 220 employees, and in December 2008 City National Bank froze its credit line and threatened to call. in a $ 3 million loan. Currently, MBH employs more than 150 staff who provide architectural services on commercial projects, hotels, retail, multi-family, and restaurants.

The building is now known as Harbor Lofts and MBH received the Gold Nugget Award for Merit Award, Adaptive Reuse in 1997 for conversion.
