MJM Architects Continues Strategic Growth With Acquisition of Saorsa Architecture

Nashville, TN — March 2, 2026 — MJM Architects, Inc., a 100% employee-owned architecture and engineering firm, announced the acquisition of Saorsa Architecture, based in Franklin, Tennessee, effective February 28, 2026.

This acquisition represents the next step in MJM’s long-term growth strategy which is focused on expanding capabilities, deepening market presence, and building a resilient, employee-owned professional services firm.

“Our approach to growth is intentional,” said Mathew Root, President and CEO of MJM Architects. “We are not acquiring firms just to chase scale. We are building a platform that attracts aligned people and teams, supports long-term client relationships, and creates opportunity for our employee-owners. Saorsa Architecture fits that vision.”

Saorsa Architecture adds architectural depth and market knowledge to MJM’s practice while reinforcing a shared commitment to collaborative design and client service. The combined firm will continue to serve clients seamlessly, now with expanded multidisciplinary resources.

Following MJM’s recent expansion of engineering services, the addition of Saorsa Architecture further strengthens the firm’s integrated design model that supports clients from early planning stages through project delivery.

“As an employee-owned firm, every growth decision we make needs to create long-term value for our people and our clients,” Root added. “This acquisition does exactly that.”


Why MJM Architects Stands Out in the Industry

For nearly 40 years, MJM Architects has demonstrated remarkable growth, leadership, and innovation, from acquisitions and ownership restructuring to award-winning projects and community engagement.
