We turn old commercial buildings "tenant improvements" into newly renovated sustainable buildings ready for tenant start ups.
Essentially, we take old run down commercial properties and completely redesign them.
We work with powerful 3-D design software and the local planning department design them in a manner that does not disturb the main structure.
This process is extremely friendly with planning your pocket book, and property taxes as well.
Please contact us if you are looking for space for your start up company or if you are a commercial property owner looking to lease your old building to startup clients.

A truly amazing service. I met them on a Tuesday afternoon and by the following Monday I had a full renderings and cost of construction. I believe that what they are doing is the future for design and project costing. This service has saved our business nearly $700,000.00 in a $4,000,000.00 project. Not to mention possible years of fighting with planning. With there Design Build formula we had all the tools to build the project ourselves. We were able to shop each sub to optimize production and deadlines. I would not consider doing anything but design Build after this. I have had two major projects in the past that made us try this and we are ecstatic!
