Canadian design and consulting giant Stantec has announced plans to acquire U.S.-based architecture firm Page, a move that will create the second-largest architecture practice in the United States by revenue.
The strategic acquisition brings together two industry leaders, significantly expanding Stantec’s architectural footprint across North America. Page, which has been in operation since 1898, is headquartered in Texas and has established itself as a prominent player in architecture, engineering, and interiors. The firm boasts a strong presence in sectors such as healthcare, education, government, and commercial design.
Stantec, headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, sees this acquisition as a natural fit with its broader strategy to enhance its design capabilities and strengthen its position in the U.S. market. With Page’s nearly 650 professionals joining its ranks, Stantec’s combined architecture team will total over 2,500 professionals, making it a formidable force in the industry.
The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. While financial details have not been disclosed, the merger is projected to significantly increase Stantec’s design revenue and geographical reach, particularly in key American cities where Page has established operations. Both firms have emphasised their aligned values and shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and design excellence. This integration is anticipated to create new opportunities for employees and clients alike while expanding access to a broader range of services under a single umbrella.
This deal follows a trend of consolidation in the design industry as firms seek to offer more comprehensive solutions to increasingly complex projects. If successful, the Stantec-Page merger will rank second only to Gensler in the U.S. in terms of architectural revenue.
The announcement signals a significant reshaping of the architectural landscape in North America, setting the stage for enhanced competition and new benchmarks in design excellence.
