As experts in the design and demands of the commercial real estate market, we’re committed to helping you navigate current market conditions to create the best outcomes possible for your asset and bottom line. We provide distressed asset owners and lenders with the vision and data necessary to revitalize their property before going into default. We offer an array of service options including architecture, interior design, and creative that can be tailored to your unique situation. The resulting information and design concepts can be used to attract additional investors, restructure debt prior to default, and help retain value in the event of default and fire sale.
Every project is different and requires a custom scope and budget to reach a meaningful design solution. Our forward-focused mindset ensures that proposed interventions prioritize the environmental, social, and financial performance of each property for work that matters to both you and the broader community. We’ve identified three scales of study but recommend a combined approach to examine the broadest range of value potential on your site. A bundle of all three types can be provided at a reduced overall cost.
