Grovcourt Capital has invested in Guide Architecture, a Dallas-based healthcare-focused architecture and planning firm serving health systems across the United States. Mark Criswell will continue as CEO and co-founder, maintaining leadership of the company he founded in 2014. The existing management team will remain significant owners, ensuring continuity during this new partnership phase.

Alex Vargas, managing partner at Grovcourt Capital, said Guide has built an exceptional platform rooted in deep client relationships, specialized expertise, and a strong culture. The private equity investment reflects ongoing interest in specialized design firms serving the healthcare sector, where hospitals and health systems continue investing in facility upgrades, expansions, and new construction.

The partnership provides growth capital while leveraging Guide's established expertise in health system planning. Private equity firms have increasingly targeted specialized architecture and design companies with strong client relationships and recurring revenue potential in niche healthcare markets.
