Saccoccio & Associates Acquires CDR Maguire Architecture Division

March 7, 2016

Rhode Island Architecture firm Saccoccio & Associates has acquired the Architecture Division of CDR Maguire, the company announced today.

In January, Saccoccio & Associates assumed CDR Maguire’s existing architecture portfolio and began serving as CDR Maguire’s Architect of Record. Saccoccio & Associates will also continue to partner with CDR Maguire on future projects.

“This acquisition expands our footprint and gives us an opportunity to grow,” Mark Saccoccio said. “It also aligns us with a well respected, national engineering firm. This partnership will give our architects a chance to work on some very exciting projects around the country.”

Architectural services for current CDR Maguire projects will be directed by Saccoccio & Associates Inc. principals Mark Saccoccio and Steve Guglielmo. As part of the transition current CDR Maguire architectural employees will move to Saccoccio & Associates but remain in their Milton office. Saccoccio will add staff at both the Cranston and Milton offices and other CDR Maguire locations around the country as needed.

“Aligning ourselves with Saccoccio & Associates allows us to immediately strengthen our architectural division,” CDR Maguire President Carlos A. Duart said. “They have the resources, experience and expertise to provide our clients with the level of service they’ve come to expect. We’re very excited about our new capabilities.”
