While return to work remains sluggish in the Bay Area, cities must move quickly to adaptively reuse obsolete buildings and public spaces to create a spark in downtowns. I think we can all agree that SF and Oakland feel a bit lifeless on a typical weekday compared to pre-covid times. Oakland's Uptown area (anchored by the Fox and Paramount theater's) is THE area that the city should go "all-in" on to regain its pre-covid momentum as an dining and entertainment destination. Great article from Gensler highlighting the importance of reinvigorating our downtowns with vibrant mixed-use projects. #commercialrealestate #oaklandoffice #cushmanandwakefield

A good cup of coffee simply does not cut in any more in today's world. Curated spaces with a hospitality focus are the norm but yet continue to evolve as employees return to offices. Even industrial spaces are adapting to stay competitive. While trends have emerged like technology driven solutions, upgraded outdoor and landscaped areas, and more glass, there is no one size fits all approach. The winners and losers will soon become clear. #tenantrep #commercialoffice #futureofwork #sustainable #officedesign #industrialrealestate #hospitality #humancentric #design #realestate

Ground floor design is a vital component of urban regeneration, a way to transform these spaces into lively community hubs that bring people together. Thoughtful ground floor spaces alive with activity foster healthier, more connected cities by prioritising inclusivity, walkability, and human-centric design at the street level. When we elevate the ground floor experience, we invest in the social and economic vitality of our urban landscapes. ➕ First Impressions Matter: The ground floor sets the tone for the entire building. A dynamic and attractive ground floor can make a lasting first impression on visitors, tenants, and passersby. Moving in the right brand matters a lot. ➕ Community Engagement: Thoughtfully curated ground floor spaces with cafes, retail outlets, or cultural venues foster community interaction and engagement, making the building a hub of activity. ➕ Economic Value: The right kind of activation enhances the building's appeal, increasing footfall, visibility and, by extension, the value of the property. ➕ Brand Identity: Having distinctive brands on the ground floor can elevate the building's status, making the building more attractive on the street and enhancing its overall marketability. It's about creating spaces that invite, engage, and inspire - turning the ground floor into a key player in urban regeneration and sustainability. #Property #RealEstate #UrbanRegeneration

Mixed use is the buzz word for downtown redevelopment, but mostly we only think of it vertically and ignore the more important interaction of mixed use horizontally at ground floor where a mix of uses beyond retail is what makes a downtown more vibrant and inadvertently the uses vertically above more valuable. Lessons are to be learned from the village or small town setting where retail, social, cultural, educational, small manufacturing and residential uses thrive together to create a liveable and vibrant space at the street level. #multifamily,#housing,#affordablehousing,#apartments,#officebuildings,#contractors,#designers,#architects,#buildingleaders,#adaptivereuse,#ownersrepresentative,#seniorshousing,#realestatedevelopment,#realestatecanada,#realestatedeveloper

What do the storefronts featured in today's New York Times article have in common (other than being empty)? The answer is that they all feel like the unwanted stepchildren of the buildings looming above and around them. Urban designer Jan Gehl once stated that the ground floor is where the building meets the city - but in the photographed examples, it feels more like a sucker punch than a warm handshake. The reason? There seems to be an irresistible urge to give office and residential buildings the gravitas of a civic building, with the architectural expression crashing into the ground. Streetscapes suffer when each building feels that it needs to appear more important and weighty than their neighbors. https://lnkd.in/gdbjbVi2
