Delawie joins LEO A DALY
San Diego-based Delawie joins LEO A DALY, a Hennick & Company-backed firm, expanding capabilities, client service and market reach
Delawie, a San Diego-based architecture and interior design firm, has become part of LEO A DALY, an international architecture and engineering firm backed by Hennick & Company, a private investment firm focused on long-term partnerships with leading consulting, advisory and professional services firms. This move reflects both firms’ goals to grow responsibly, provide exceptional client service, and invest in talent and capabilities. Both firms share a commitment to design excellence, sustainability and inclusive collaboration.
Founded in 1961, Delawie has made a lasting impact on Southern California’s built environment with designs that complement skylines, activate learning environments, transform communities, create corporate identities, and advance the functionality of civic and government facilities. Delawie’s entire existing leadership team will remain in their existing roles for the long term to ensure continuity for key talent, clients and stakeholders, and will each become equity shareholders in LEO A DALY.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Delawie and its talented designers to LEO A DALY. Their creativity, technical excellence and cultural integrity align with our mission and values. Together, we’re poised to deliver even greater impact for our employees, clients and communities.”
