Simsbury-based CR3 LLP has decided to merge with Manchester, New Hampshire-based Loureiro Engineering Assoc. Inc.

CR3 is an award-winning site planning and landscape architectural design firm known for its proficiency in combining art, science and stewardship for enhanced user experiences in the built environment. The firm was originally founded in 1940 as Charles A. Currier Assoc. Loureiro is an employee-owned, full-service multi-disciplinary firm providing engineering, environmental health and safety, energy, facility, waste management, consulting and construction services and laboratory analytical services.

“We are excited to welcome CR3 to Loureiro,” company president Brian Cutler said in a statement. “Having worked with them on many projects we knew they were extremely talented and always provided quality designs and exceptional service. We are driven to better meet the needs of our clients and CR3 adds the critical elements of planning and landscape architecture to complement our civil engineering and land survey services. This is an exciting time as we now have, under one roof, the seamless integration of all the services necessary to help our clients realize the full potential of their development project.”

“The CR3 staff has long prided ourselves on our ability to provide attentive service and quality designs to our clients,” Principal Henry Withers said in a statement. “This is an exciting time and we are pleased to be part of the Loureiro team and capitalize on new business opportunities while strengthening and expanding existing relationships.”
