Stantec, an engineering and design conglomerate based in Canada, has agreed to buy ADD Inc, a 210-person architectural firm in Boston.
The deal, which Stantec says will strengthen its business on the East Coast, is expected to close in September. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
ADD Inc, which employs 130 people at its 30,000-square-foot Boston headquarters on Summer Street in the Seaport District, specializes in architecture and interior design. The firm work has included spaces for multifamily housing, hospitality, retail, higher education and corporate office developers.
Hmmmm should I be worried considering I like ADD and the direction they've been going? I honestly know nothing about power plays like this.

So long and thanks for all the photos! I'm glad to hear you are doing well with your band. Good luck! You are going to love NY, but it sounds like you already know that.
Just curious - who did you tell first? AB or your family?
I grew up in New York State to a dad who worked in NYC and have been wanting to live in the city and be a "true" New Yorker as long as I can remember, and I guess I'm finally getting that. It's only in the last year or so that I truly fell in love with Boston -- before then I was always leery of Red Sox fans and the Irish (I'm an introverted Frenchie) and the provincialism, but something clicked last year where I made peace with the place and I realized just how good of a direction the city is heading in.
I still love going home to "the city" though. Out of curiosity, whats your hometown?
kz, thank you for sharing so much of your work with us. Dead serious, you have pushed me to become a better photographer, and I really appreciate that.
Best of luck in New York, and if you have any shots from there you'd like to share with us, I certainly wouldn't complain!
Dang...your monthly photo series on SSP will be sorely missed!
You will miss the neighborhood that more aptly reps your 20's along with the rehearsal places/ venues you jammed at (probably got tipsy at a few times as well). Basically you will associate it fondly with your youth. But your a successful musician, so plenty of great times await. . . . I work in aviation, which is far cooler than most corporate companies, and even then your like fuck this shit at times. I will miss your pictures deeply. They help me reconnect, but on the side I've been rooting for you for quite a while.
