SGA|NarmourWright is now GF

GreenbergFarrow, the nationally recognized architecture, planning and engineering firm, will bring their architecture firm SGA | NarmourWright Design under its brand umbrella in 2024. The acquisition of SGA|NW in 2022 aimed at expanding GF into new markets and sectors. Now, SGA|NW will fold under the larger firm’s GF brand to truly reflect the way the company operates and officially unite offices and services under one banner. Starting now, SGA|NW will transition to operate all its offices under the unified GF name, aligning with the larger firm’s operational structure.

“Bringing everyone together under the same name completes our mission to unify us as a company internally and externally. Although we will continue to provide the local market knowledge and service our clients expect in both North Carolina and South Carolina, we can now provide access to our full range of services, depth of bench, and multi-market knowledge that our clients have come to expect over our 50 years of success,” said Keith Johnston, President, and CEO of GF. “We are so proud of our team members and the excellence they bring to our clients. We treat every project as though we’re an equity partner, thoroughly understanding our client’s objectives. Now with SGA|NW coming under the same banner on both practice and name, it will be clear to all that we are one team.”

SGA Design was founded in 1987 and in 2018 merged with NarmourWright, a 40-year-old multifamily design firm, to form SGA|NW. The firm has more than 40 employees across four offices in the fast-growing cities of Charleston, Greenville, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, and in Charlotte, North Carolina. SGA|NW is an industry leader in delivering innovative design solutions for mixed-use, multifamily, healthcare, and higher education projects for both private and public sector clients. Its highly experienced design and planning professionals combine the disciplines of architecture, interior design, land planning, and landscape architecture to curate a holistic and balanced approach to the built environment. Firm projects have received awards and landmark recognition, including projects in historic downtown Charleston.

For many decades, GF has served prestigious developers and Fortune 500 companies across the globe garnering awards for projects ranging from flagship retail locations and restaurants to historic renovations and adaptive reuse.

CREW Sponsors Working Together!

CREW Charlotte Sponsor, Amy Clement with CK, has generously provided O’Leary Waste with two CRE leads that have resulted in 2024 closed business. Woo-Hoo! In both cases, Amy took the initiative to connect us with her contacts and give O’Leary a recommendation.

Thank you, Amy. And as always, I am thankful for my CREW connections!
