Business Description

World-class landscape architecture firm with design / build capabilities throughout the mid-Atlantic, New York (Long Island, in particular) and even nationally and internationally. For decades, this multi-generational firm has designed exquisite exterior spaces that blend hardscape and structural components with plants, water and other natural elements. They have catered to the desires of the most demanding clients, from luxury residential homes to commercial and institutional clients. Services include project conceptualization and architectural design, plant / materials selection and sourcing, permitting and project implementation. This firm can serve as general contractor for the project, or provide plans and supervision for a client's own landscaping contractor. Based in a beautiful Washington DC office, with a reach a reputation that extends well beyond the national capital, the current senior partners are seeking the right person or group to succeed them and take the firm forward in the decades to come, preserving and building on its tradition of creativity, style, expertise and deep knowledge of plants, where best to source them, who can best plant them and how to ensure their health and vitality long term. With a solid team in place, an excellent reputation established over several decades and a long roster of clients and projects, this is a unique opportunity for an existing architectural design firm to expand its scale and scope, or for a commercial or residential construction firm to expand into landscape design. This could also be a great opportunity for an experienced landscape architect who currently works for another firm to gain immediate critical mass as an owner by purchasing this established firm. Although the senior partners plan to retire in the medium term, they are willing and able to assist with a transition to new ownership. This allows someone who does not have previous experience in landscape architectures to purchase the firm with a full team in place. The seller is offering 10% seller financing over a ten-year term, subject to credit review, to facilitate a buyer obtaining SBA-guaranteed financing for the purchase.
