Hartford-based JCJ Architecture has bought a Boston peer, Group One Partners, in a move the firm described as opening “an exciting new chapter.”

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

JCJ and G1, as Group One is also known, have been “longtime successful collaborators” and the acquisition will help JCJ expand its reach in Boston, the firm said in its announcement. G1 focused on hospitality clients. Other than its Hartford main office, JCJ maintains offices in Las Vegas, New York, Phoenix, San Diego and Tulsa, Arizona.

Hotel revenues per available room (RevPAR) in Boston recently hit 96 percent of 2019 levels, the benchmark for pre-pandemic financial performance, according to Massachusetts hospitality consultancy Pinnacle Advisory Group, showing the market has largely bounced back from the COVID-19 pandemic despite ongoing business travel cutbacks. The occupancy rate in the area’s urban core hit 74 percent at the end of the first quarter, according to Pinnacle, and the urban core’s average daily rate is expected to hit 111 percent of its 2019 level this year as leisure and convention travel appears poised to pick up the slack left by fewer business travelers.

“JCJ Architecture is firmly rooted in service to the community and unwavering integrity. When evaluating a partnership of this type, it is crucial that the collaboration is based on aligned values and cultural fit,” JCJ President Peter Stevens said in a statement. “This acquisition emerged from a successful partnership between JCJ and G1 over several years where these shared values became evident and fully explored. We look forward to working with G1 Principals–now JCJ Principals–Harry Wheeler and Mary Faria and are excited about what we will be able to achieve together in this next chapter.”
