Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• GGLO: Seattle-based integrated design firm focused on multi-family, mixed-use, and urban infill housing across the West Coast. Highly comparable to Veer in building typology, client base (developers), and regional Puget Sound presence.
• Ankrom Moisan Architects: Seattle-based architecture firm with a substantial multi-family, mixed-use, and TOD practice serving Pacific Northwest developers. Closely comparable to Veer in project type (apartments, mixed-use, senior living) and regional market focus.
• Weber Thompson: Seattle architecture firm with a multi-family housing, mixed-use, and high-rise residential practice serving regional developers. Comparable in typology and client overlap with Veer's apartment and mixed-use portfolio.
• TCA Architecture Planning & Design: Pacific Northwest architecture firm with a multi-family and mixed-use practice, including senior living and TOD experience. Closely comparable in scale, project type mix, and Pacific Northwest developer client base.
• Runberg Architecture Group: Seattle-based architecture firm specializing in multi-family urban infill, mixed-use, and podium/wood-frame residential projects for Pacific Northwest developers. Direct competitor for similar multi-family developer mandates in the Puget Sound market.

Broad incumbents

• Mithun: Seattle-based integrated design firm with housing, mixed-use, and master planning practices. Comparable as a Pacific Northwest architecture peer but operates at a larger scale with broader typologies (civic, education, urban planning).
• Olson Kundig: Seattle-based, internationally recognized architecture firm with a broader residential and hospitality portfolio. Overlaps with Veer in Pacific Northwest custom residential work but at a substantially higher price point and brand profile.
• LMN Architects: Seattle-based architecture firm with civic, cultural, and urban mixed-use experience, including TOD-adjacent projects. Comparable as a broader Puget Sound incumbent but with a stronger civic and convention-center portfolio than Veer's developer-led focus.
• ZGF Architects: Pacific Northwest-headquartered architecture firm (offices in Seattle and Portland) with a multi-family and mixed-use practice alongside civic, healthcare, and workplace work. Comparable at the firm-of-record level for large-scale TOD and mixed-use developers.

Others

• Baylis Architects: Pacific Northwest architecture firm where Lavina Wadhwani previously worked as a Project Manager. Comparable in scale and Pacific Northwest developer focus; included due to historical talent overlap rather than direct current competition.
