_ Midcareer Repositioning “Older urban office building are great candidate for  repositioning. While this makes good business sense for their

owners and tenants, it’s also one of the most sustainable things a city can do.”

Building repositioning can be approached in different ways.

_ Sometimes the focus is just on the lobby and public spaces

_ In other cases, it involves giving the building a new outer skin, replacing the old one in the whole or in part

The underlying goal is to heighten the appeal of the property in the marketplace.

Our role is to help the owner assess where the value is and then unlock it.
