GreenbergFarrow (GF) expands its national MEP engineering practice through the acquisition of Polaris Consulting Engineers, combining more than two decades of East Coast expertise with a nationwide platform to deliver integrated, future-forward solutions.
ATLANTA, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GreenbergFarrow (GF), a leading international architecture, development services, planning, and engineering firm, has acquired Polaris Consulting Engineers, PC, a New Jersey-based provider of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering services. This acquisition significantly expands GF's MEP expertise and strengthens its capabilities to serve a broader range of clients across the U.S.
The addition of Polaris enhances GF's already robust MEP engineering practice, extending its service offerings to include specialized HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and LEED consulting solutions. This acquisition also broadens GF's client base, particularly within the restaurant, food service, retail, office, and shopping center sectors, complementing the firm's existing portfolio.
Polaris, under the leadership of owner Anthony J. Scalamandre, PE, CEA, and retired cofounder Michael L. Wilson, has built an excellent reputation for delivering responsive, energy-efficient MEP engineering solutions. Founded in 2002 in Moorestown, New Jersey, the firm was created to be a nimble engineering partner that evolves with the times. Its team of eight professionals brings capabilities that span diverse industries and project scales, including national prototype development, energy efficiency, and historic preservation work.
GF and Polaris have collaborated on restaurant and retail projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, building a shared understanding of how to deliver responsive, consistent, and efficient design solutions for national clients. Integrating Polaris into the GF family is a natural next step that aligns seamlessly with the firm's commitment to delivering comprehensive design and engineering solutions tailored to client needs.
"This partnership provides an exciting opportunity for GF to build upon its MEP engineering expertise and expand our service offerings," said Keith Johnston, CEO of GF. "We have worked side by side with the Polaris team and have seen firsthand their technical excellence, responsiveness, and commitment to energy-efficient design. Anthony and his team's reputation for innovation perfectly complements our firm's mission to provide integrated solutions across a broad range of disciplines. We are thrilled to welcome them to GF."
The acquisition also provides Polaris with the resources and support of GF's nationwide network. As a single-office operation, Polaris will now have access to GF's extensive capabilities, providing a platform to grow its reach and deliver even greater value to its clients.
"We're excited to join forces with GF," said Anthony J. Scalamandre, PE, CEA, Owner of Polaris Consulting Engineers. "Our teams have already seen what we can accomplish together, and this acquisition allows us to leverage GF's nationwide presence, bringing our specialized expertise to a wider audience while maintaining the level of service and ingenuity our clients expect. Together, we will create innovative, forward-thinking engineering solutions that drive success for our partners and the communities we serve."
Polaris will continue serving clients under the name Polaris Consulting Engineers, a GF Affiliate. Scalamandre will continue with the organization as Managing Director, and the firm's team of eight will remain in place. Clients can expect continuity, with the same Polaris team, relationships, and technical expertise backed by GF's expanded platform of architecture, planning, development services, and engineering.
GF remains committed to expanding its national footprint, offering integrated solutions that drive innovation and excellence for clients. This acquisition strengthens the firm's position as a leader in architecture, planning, and engineering.
