CORE + SHELL

As commercial real estate markets shift, developers are seeking innovative solutions that position them in competitive markets to draw top tenants.

In single-tenant buildings, sustainable systems and community connections attract top-tier clients with large real estate footprint needs. In multi-tenant buildings, strategic amenity packages drive tenant engagement and loyalty.

When developers or end users invest in a ground-up building, enter a new market, or envision a new asset class, they appreciate that we understand their pro forma and leverage design to maximize the addition to their portfolio.



REPOSITIONING

Savvy developers and building owners are realizing an accelerated rate of return and maintaining market competitiveness by repositioning aging assets. Repositioning creates a new image that breathes renewed life into leased real estate. Today, common repositioning goals include: activating lobbies and common spaces with revenue-generating micro-retail; transforming underutilized lease space; diversifying amenitization; refreshing the building’s graphic brand and associated leasing collateral; and, optimizing tenant comfort – and operating costs – with commissioning.

The net result? Existing tenants remain and new tenants are attracted to the fresh new space. Lease rates can increase, occupancy can maximize, and the property is poised for long-term holding or for resale.

MIXED-USE

Successful mixed-use developments are catalysts for urban revitalization, drivers of vibrant, livable communities. Evolving lifestyle expectations are directly impacting community social fabric and creating demand for a new typology of mixed-use development. To find the right mix of housing, workplace, retail, or hospitality DLR Group’s approach has not changed: we employ placemaking principles to design destinations that attract people, increasing onsite traffic, lease rates, sales per square foot, and, ultimately, land value.

INTERIORS

As we study the landscape of workplace across America, we find an inflection point. More employees than ever are toxically disengaged. Unmotivated employees are costing enterprises hundreds of billions of dollars annually. And generational and functional dynamics are shifting at an unprecedented pace.

DLR Group is responding to this evolving state by investing in evidence-based design, and bringing the power of in-house multi-disciplinary design, engineering, building optimization and strategy teams to bear, positioning our clients to achieve their business strategies – by design.



Positively Correlating Work Environment Satisfaction with Overall Company LoyaltyPre and Post-Occupancy surveys provided valuable insights. One key finding is that high levels of satisfaction in the new work environment influenced a measurable uptick in loyalty to the company overall, compared to pre-occupancy levels.

Today, increasing evidence proves that productivity in the workplace is tied to environment. However, over half of workers say they need to leave their office to get work done.

A Workplace that WorksTM is a flexible, creative, branded, and healthy workplace that is tuned to your business and your employees.

Uniting people and place to drive performance.

TECHNOLOGY

22

The tech industry is the market leader for workplace innovation. Over the last two decades we’ve seen the pendulum swing from individual offices to high-walled cubicles to the current open office layout. We are now seeing it swing back toward the individual, as employees want to customize their space to independent working styles. This drives flexible desking solutions, dynamic office layouts that enable teams to reconfigure, and diverse collaboration and social spaces. At the same time, advancements in AR/VR, artificial intelligence, and autonomous transportation require specialized lab environments for continued development.

All of this leads toward a future technology-driven workplace that is both specific and flexible, with a focus on the user experience.



AEROSPACE

Aerospace and avionics facilities and operations are rapidly evolving, with the advent of automation and the advancement of technology. Often, SCIFs and mission control spaces are side-by-side with manufacturing floors, research labs, and creative office space for knowledge workers.

This program complexity, paired with a highly regulatory environment, benefits from integrated teams that bring deep experience working with federal agencies and private corporations. We’ve been working with aerospace client partners for over 40 years, with over 500 projects completed - including an on-time, on-budget delivery of a launch operations facility for a NASA-backed space mission.

One of the most pressing challenges in the century is to mitigate climate change caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities. Information in this report has been extracted from the estimated operational energy consumption, energy production, and energy optimization of DLR Group designs in 2018. Beyond these typical metrics of achievement, in 2018 we addressed other areas including exploration of innovative materials, indoor air quality, occupant comfort, wellbeing and productivity. These areas further expanded our thinking on sustainability and the role it plays within integrated design.

Raise the Bar DLR Group’s average reduction target of predicted energy use for our high-performance designs has consistently exceeded the national peer group average. In 2018, our integrated designs resulted in a 49 percent energy reduction for all DLR Group 2030 Challenge tracked projects.* While an improvement over the previous year, we are continuing to set aggressive internal targets and widen our performance design approach to reach our goal of meeting the 2030 Challenge on every new project by 2020.
