Cushman and Wakefield

Portfolio Services Center

Overview

Challenge

It’s a common problem: the commercial real estate dilemma of lack of space coupled with a growing and evolving marketplace of current and potential employees. Cushman and Wakefield needed a flexible space that could be a showpiece not only for attracting and retaining talent but also for featuring its space and services to existing and potential clients. This space had to be a showpiece — in design, workplace strategy, technology and amenities.

Solution

The Cushman and Wakefield brand is reflected throughout the space as it fosters both a “work, live, play” culture and the firm’s forward-thinking vision.

Every work area and conference room throughout has visibility to natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows and a modern color scheme that opens up the space and fosters a collaborative working environment. Maximizing efficiency, the space offers employees unassigned seating options with a wide variety of work space options including sit-to-stand desks, laptop bars, co-working lounge booths and hearth tables, duck-in rooms for quick phone calls, meet-ups for small meetings and a library for quiet, focused work efforts.

In addition to achieving a LEED Silver Certification for Commercial interiors for the space, the project also received the first WELL Building Standard certification for New Interiors in the state of Missouri.
