Stantec has announced plans to acquire Page, a prominent U.S.-based architecture and engineering firm with 1,400 employees and a legacy dating back to 1898.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Page operates in 20 cities across the U.S. and Mexico, including Austin and Houston in Texas, Denver, New York City, and San Francisco.

The acquisition will significantly enhance Stantec’s footprint in the U.S., boosting its U.S. buildings practice by approximately 35% and expanding its U.S. workforce to about 13,500.

Stantec will also be able to grow its global market presence, said Gord Johnston, the firm’s president and CEO.

With the integration of Page, Stantec is expected to become the second-largest architecture firm in the U.S. and the largest integrated architecture and engineering firm in North America.

Page’s portfolio includes award-winning projects in healthcare, aviation, advanced manufacturing, civic, academic, and commercial sectors. Notable projects include the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., the John A. Paulson Center at New York University, and the Indeed Tower in Austin.

The acquisition is aligned with Stantec’s 2024-2026 strategic plan and strengthens its offerings in high-growth markets such as data centres, healthcare, cleanroom design, and semiconductor facilities. Stantec will fund the transaction through existing funds and credit facilities.

The deal is expected to close following regulatory approvals. Terms were not disclosed.
