Michael Graves Architecture Acquires PGN Architects
Michael Graves Architecture (MG), an award-winning global leader in planning, architecture, and interior design based in Princeton, NJ, announces the acquisition of PGN Architects (PGN), a Washington, DC-based architecture firm. Following the acquisition of Maryland-based planning, architecture, and interior design firm Waldon Studio Architects (WSA), New Jersey-based Jose Carballo Architectural Group (JCAG), and North Carolina-based architecture firm Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce Architects, PA (Walter Robbs), this latest acquisition is another key component of a long-term strategic growth plan for MG. PGN’s expertise will support and strengthen MG’s already robust foundation, providing the team access to shared knowledge across design sectors while providing the opportunity to expand into new regions. This latest merger continues to build upon the late Michael Graves’ enduring legacy of creativity and innovation.
“When evaluating this acquisition, we immediately recognized the talent, forward-thinking design approach, and deep level of experience within the PGN team, especially in the multifamily sector with many mixed-use projects. As we learned more about each other, we realized our values aligned seamlessly, and that our collaboration would create a wonderful synergy,” explained Joe Furey, President, and CEO of MG. “We were immediately impressed with PGN’s portfolio and its team, which will ultimately lead to many new opportunities in the Washington, D.C. market and throughout the country. We believe this acquisition will further enhance our design capabilities and market sector knowledge, as well as build upon our core values of innovation, commitment to quality, and unwavering client service.”
