Office, Mall & Hotel

Offices, retail and hospitality developments. Commercial buildings are bought for the income they produce, which makes servicing, operating cost and tenant fit-out flexibility design questions rather than details.

Typical projects

  • Office buildings
  • Retail and shopping centres
  • Hotels and hospitality
  • Mixed-use commercial
  • Build-to-lease
  • Anchor-tenant schemes

What this means for an investor

A commercial asset is valued on its income and the security of it. That makes the tenant's experience — access, servicing, running cost, how cheaply they can fit out and later refit — directly a valuation question. We design around the letting case, and we would rather tell you a scheme's realistic rent than the one that makes the appraisal work.

How we work

Designed Around the Letting Case

Floorplates, cores and servicing planned for the tenants the building is aimed at, and for the ones after them.

Floor plateTenant experience

Operating Cost as a Design Input

Services and envelope specified against what the building costs to run, because that is what a tenant weighs against the rent.

Operating costSystems selection

Flexible for Re-fit

Structure and services arranged so the space can be reconfigured between tenancies without touching the frame.

A commercial building is not finished when it is built. It is finished when it is let and still worth holding.
