Office
New and existing office properties, repositioning programs, and tenant-driven capital projects.
The asset context
Understand what makes the project different.
Office properties are shaped by the relationship between the base building, tenant spaces, lease obligations, vertical transportation, HVAC capacity, controls, envelope performance, and changing occupancy expectations. Repositioning can create both construction and long-term operating questions.
KOW supports financing, acquisition, renovation, and ownership decisions with coordinated condition, environmental, construction, and building-performance work. Scopes are calibrated to whether the decision concerns the whole asset, a capital program, or a defined area or system.
