Office Developers
As the role of the office is redefined, we help clients develop properties to create innovative, people-centered destinations that build community, attract talent, and promote well-being and sustainability.
“
It’s really about the emotional impact of the asset. You need a building people choose, not one they’re forced to use.

Trends in Office Developers
Experience is as important as floorplate.
Tenants want workplaces that feel like part of a community, not apart from it. The new trophy office is defined by the experiences it provides — outdoor terraces, hospitality-driven design, curated events — and the adjacent public amenities it enables — restaurants, culture, or day care.
Resilience is a non-negotiable for future-ready assets.
Resilience is now a financial concern as much as an environmental one. Developers must look beyond certifications and embed practical protections for their assets and their tenants. Fire-retardant materials, onsite energy solutions, shading, flood proofing, and other resilient design strategies help buildings withstand climate shock and double as community refuges for tenants and families.
Flexibility becomes the key to long-term value.
The “perpetual asset” is designed to morph between office, lab, residential, and beyond as demands shift. Combining thoughtful cores and floorplates, movable façades, resilient systems, and integrated outdoor spaces creates a framework that can evolve over time to ensure long-term viability.
