One of the things we’re asked most about our commercial construction consulting services is how commercial renovation can help an owner repurpose old buildings. There are a lot of benefits, from the aesthetic to the commercial.
Four Benefits of Commercial Renovation
- Cost Savings
Compared to a ground-up construction, commercial renovation is usually less expensive. As the owner, you get to capitalize on the existing structure and location of the property. Instead of worrying about outlaying resources to build from scratch, you can focus on bringing the property up to code and adding space for retail, a commercial kitchen, or unique decorations.
- Build up New Businesses
Repurposed buildings are a great spot for retail stores, restaurants, and meeting spaces that preserve the ambiance of an old building structure. Some businesses, like cafes, cozy bars, or quirky bookstores, might even seek you out, as their ambiance depends on the building in which they are situated.
- Historical Preservation
When you undergo a commercial renovation, you get the chance to keep the unique materials, design style, and other unique features in a building’s design for years to come. Additionally, you will be able to solicit new tenants in a property with a known aesthetic, like rustic hardwood floors or brick masonry, at a low cost.
- Transform a Neighborhood
One of the things we say the most in our commercial construction consulting is that every neighborhood benefits from the old becoming new. A run-down building that gets renovated adds life to the community and seeing the quality of your preservation of the character of the neighborhood brings new life both to the property itself and the area surrounding it.
