These long-term relationships together with a highly regarded domestic and international reputation within three markets can lead to a level of business security and command over the industry. Current financial statements lead to revenue projections of $1,760,000 for 2022 alongside Discretionary Earnings of $333,755. A strong domestic focus is creating stability and improving margins as the firm rebalances its historic proportion of domestic and international clients. Benefiting from a highly regarded professional team considered knowledge leaders in their field, strong international footing, high-level expertise in green infrastructure and decades of award-winning experience, the ideal buyer would already be engaged in the profession and dedicated to design and professional excellence.

Through consultancy arrangements the firm maintains a professional and physical presence in two locations beyond the Bay Area to better serve clients.
