To keep afloat in precarious times, a firm needs to be proactive, creative and flexible. In this past year, Los Angeles-based DLR Group not only remained afloat but also increased its regional revenue and innovated to meet pandemic needs by developing air-quality technology and reimagining workspaces. Those are among the reasons why the firm was chosen ENR California & Northwest’s 2021 Design Firm of the Year.
DLR Group, with 1,175 employees and offices around the globe, posted total revenue of $279.5 million for fiscal year 2020. For both California and the Northwest combined, DLR Group, with its 294 regional employees, reported revenue of $89 million from offices in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco and Riverside, Calif., as well as Seattle and Portland, Ore.
