National architecture and engineering firm HED has announced a merger with Denver-based practice Larson Incitti Architects (LIA). The move combines LIA’s staff with HED’s Denver office, which will greatly expand the local team. The merger also aims to leverage existing community relationships to create new opportunities across multiple market sectors. 

"Our strategic merger with LIA is a great fit because of our shared commitment to create positive impact for clients and the greater community while providing growth opportunities for our talented staff," said Co-CEO of HED, Enrique Suarez. "We are pleased to welcome the LIA team into the HED family and look forward to using our combined strength to explore new opportunities and fulfill our common commitment to ensuring long-term success for our clients."

"LIA has always been dedicated to client service and committed to the Denver community, and since our founding, we've emphasized learning and collaboration in our company culture — values we share with HED," added LIA Co-Founder, Bruce Larson. "Those shared values and commitments are strengthened by joining forces through the merger, and we look forward to working as part of the HED team to continue creating positive impact for clients in Denver and the surrounding area."
