PBK Architects, Inc. Received Strategic Investment from DC Capital Partners

TAMPA, Fla. - July 27, 2020 - PRLog -- Benchmark International is pleased to announce the successful closing of DC Capital Partners' investment in PBK Architects, Inc., and its subsidiaries.

DC Capital Partners was familiar with PBK's government focus, already having made similar investments in architecture firms, AMA and Pond & Co., both of whom work predominantly with US federal government clients.

Despite the turmoil in the markets, both sides were able to hold up their end of the originally agreed bargain though not without a bit of mutually beneficial maneuvering. PBK Founder and Executive Chairman Dan Boggio commented, "Benchmark, along with our legal team at Nelson Mullins and our accounting team at Weaver, just kept plugging away no matter what was going on outside the deal. The number of issues that needed to be addressed, negotiated, and implemented in a deal like this was apparently endless. The ways that we and DC Capital had to come together to address some unprecedented events precipitated by the pandemic and the creative solutions our team generated were absolutely amazing. My partners and I are so glad that we had the opportunity to work with this great team. I don't know that this would have gotten done, even in regular times much less the first half of 2020, without them."

PBK's efforts were led internally by CO-CEO and COO Chris Cunico. He added, "We really appreciated the way Benchmark led us through this process. All the decisions were ours to make. They continuously provided the data, inputs, and experienced insights that set us up to make the best possible decisions throughout the relationship. They were patient with us when we wanted to move slowly and led the charge whenever we wanted to move ahead aggressively."

DC Capital was assisted on the transaction by Arnold & Porter, Ernst & Young, and Aon Advisory.
