Growth through acquisitions GF has undergone strategic acquisitions including DBI Architects in 2024 and South Coast Engineering Group in 2025, signaling aggressive expansion across architectural, engineering, and planning services. This creates cross-selling opportunities with existing DBI and SCEG clients and opens doors to new geographic markets and project scopes.

Broadening capabilities The combination of architecture, engineering, development services, and planning under GF suggests a one-stop-shop approach for retail and mixed-use projects. This positions GF to win multi-discipline mandates from developers seeking integrated design and engineering delivery.

Retail design leadership GF is positioned as a nationally recognized leader in retail design, which offers a strong entry point for conversations with retailers, shopping center owners, and anchor tenants looking to refresh portfolios or accelerate store rollouts.

Regional presence boost The Reston team’s recognition and GF’s broader market access imply enhanced capabilities in the Mid-Atlantic and national markets, enabling targeted outreach to regional developers, local authorities, and commercial landlords seeking scalable delivery teams.

Tech-enabled delivery GF’s tech stack includes Autodesk Revit and collaboration/e-commerce tools, indicating a modern, BIM-driven workflow. This enables pitches highlighting efficiency, accuracy, and faster project timelines to clients with complex MEP and retail environments.
