This well-established architecture firm boasts a 63% profit
margin and specializes in the design of high-end custom
homes, primarily serving affluent residential clients on the
Big Island of Hawaii. The business is fully remote,
maintaining low overhead while leveraging a network of
experienced consultants, including structural, civil, and
landscape engineers. With a proven track record spanning
nearly five decades, this firm has become a leader in
luxury home design, delivering projects valued between
$4million to $55million.
Operating as a boutique practice, they offer architectural
services from initial concept through construction
observation, ensuring each project meets the client’s
vision and is executed to the highest standards. Most
projects are located in sought-after areas such as Hokulea
and the Kohala Coast, with significant opportunities for
growth through proactive marketing or geographic
expansion. The seller plays an active role in project
management. As he approaches retirement, he has
decided to pursue a sale. To ensure a smooth transition,
he is willing to remain with the business for 1-2 years and
is also offering a 20% seller carry!
With a purchase price of $2,850,000, this is an exceptional
opportunity for a licensed architect or design firm seeking
entry or expansion into Hawaii’s luxury residential market.
The current owner is committed to a smooth transition and
will provide introductions, as well as ongoing support to
ensure continued success.
