Real Estate Studio
We believe that our understanding of workplace, science and technology, and healthcare design is closely linked to the quality of the buildings that house these environments. We leverage our expertise to create new buildings and advise clients on valuable base building improvements that maximize this potential. By understanding how our clients operate, we can make more informed decisions about the design of a building’s shape, size, and depth, and optimally position key infrastructure elements to complement the built environment.
Placemaking
Spaces should not only be functional but should evoke certain emotions and feelings. That sense of place will inspire and allow people to use these spaces to better their daily lives.
New Buildings
Ranging from life sciences buildings to office buildings to medical office buildings and bank branches, MP has a diverse portfolio and the expertise to meet your building needs.
Building Repositioning
Whether converting your building to office, lab, or manufacturing, we can help you understand what is required to change the use of that building. For those projects requiring upgrades to attract tenants, we can provide a checklist of requirements and considerations for your project, such as façade upgrades, structural upgrades, code requirements, amenity additions, or infrastructure modifications, as it related to your budget.
BOMA Calculations
Landlords and tenants rely on BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) Standards in order to fairly determine rentable square footages for leasing purposes. We can help you to navigate through this process and make sure that all parties agree with the results.
Amenities
Employee, visitor, and tenant pleasing spaces like coffee bars, spin studios, and food halls are only a few of the amenities that MP has designed over the years. There has never been a greater need to attract future tenants and retain existing tenants. Offering attractive amenities is one way to do that.
Project Entitlement and Zoning Support
The zoning process may seem daunting, but we can help you navigate the various governing bodies that have jurisdiction over your project. We have a team of professionals that will make the process much easier for you, and get it approved as quickly as possible. It will also help you understand cost implications and overall project requirements to achieve zoning approvals.
Marketing and Leasing Support
Building efficiencies, placemaking, and amenities are often discussion topics when leasing your buildings. We can provide various marketing materials, such as colored plans, 3D models, and virtual walkthroughs, to assist your leasing goals.
Branding and Signage
From tenant exterior signage to interior branding and wayfinding, we make sure your brand, along with your tenants' brands, are well represented in the space. Careful integration is necessary to create a positive impact. We can also guide you through any variance objectives for exterior signage.
Master Planning/Campus Planning/Due Diligence
Considering all possibilities are the first steps in developing a site. Understanding the zoning, site benefits, environmental issues, and nuances ensure you are getting the most out of your investment. We can explain the various steps of due diligence so you can best maximize your site.
Energy Code Compliance
As states and municipalities are tightening their energy use regulations, it’s important that your investments stay current. We can lead you through energy code issues, including initiatives like BERDO (Building Emissions Reductions Disclosure Ordinance), so upgrades happen at the right time and for the right price, avoiding penalties from governing bodies.
