Capability

Adaptive Reuse

Adaptive reuse is the highest-upside and highest-variance work in real estate. The building gives you something you cannot buy new — and a list of conditions you cannot see from the street.

Occupancy change drives the budget

Changing use changes egress, fire separation, accessibility, ventilation and sprinkler requirements simultaneously. That strategy has to be resolved before a number is presented as reliable.

Design around what is worth keeping

Structure, daylight and volume are the reason to do the project. New systems should be routed deliberately so those things stay visible.

Conversion types

  • Warehouse to creative office
  • Institutional to mixed-use
  • Retail to residential
