Founded in 1989, OJB Landscape Architecture has delivered some of the most celebrated landscape architecture projects worldwide, including urban parks, campuses, waterfronts and mixed-use developments. The firm is known for design excellence, environmental sensitivity and a deep understanding of how people engage with outdoor spaces.
Jim Burnett, President of OJB Landscape Architecture, added:
Populous shares our belief in the power of design to bring people together and shape communities. Together, we can extend the reach and impact of our work, creating more integrated and meaningful environments for people around the world.
OJB Landscape Architecture will maintain its current studios and leadership while collaborating across Populous’ network. With the acquisition, Populous grows to more than 950 employees in the Americas and more than 1,600 worldwide.
This acquisition significantly enhances Populous’ capabilities in landscape architecture, urban design and the public realm — unlocking new opportunities across sport, entertainment, civic and mixed-use developments. Along with its recent launch of its Real Estate Strategy service line, Populous is dedicated to the creation of multi-faceted destinations that enhance our cities and communities.
