Beecher Development Services

Today, on #WorldArchitectureDay, we honor the art and science of architecture and its critical role in shaping our cities, homes, and spaces. This day was originally established by the International Union of Architects to celebrate how architecture contributes to sustainable urban development, enhances the quality of life, and addresses some of the world’s most pressing challenges. At Beecher Development Services, as Owner’s Representatives, we have the privilege of witnessing firsthand how architecture brings together form, function, and innovation to create spaces that transform communities. The coolest part? Architecture is constantly evolving and adapting! Check out some of our favorite projects where bold, innovative architecture meets thoughtful design. These spaces stand as a testament to what’s possible when creativity, expertise, and collaboration come together in the same space. #ProjectManagement #Architecture #BeecherDevelopment #RealEstateDevelopment #BuildingPerspective

At Beecher Development Services, we’ve been busy diving deep into GSA projects across the country, providing expert Project Management services for landlords leasing to government agencies. Navigating leases, building requirements, and budgets post-award can be a challenge, but our team has successfully managed projects in Denver, Austin, Tulsa, and Vancouver - saving clients money and reducing risk. Matt is looking forward to gaining more insights into GSA leasing, connecting with industry leaders, and bringing even greater value to our clients. Stay tuned for updates and lessons learned, and if you see him there, please stop and say hello! 😄 #ProjectManagement #GSAProjects #BeecherDevelopment #NFDA2024 #WashingtonDC #RealEstateDevelopment

Short story on serendipity in the professional world. Matthew Beecher, LEED-AP loves the plants in the atrium of our office building in downtown Littleton. So, one day when he saw someone caring for the plants, he approached them and found out they were from Ambius. Matt then asked for the contact info of someone from Sales. He was put in touch with Jennifer Agamie, who came to the office and developed a proposal for plants and plant maintenance for the BEECHER office. Fast forward a few months and when our client at The Vault asked if we knew anyone that could supply some plants for the Lobby, our first call was to Jennifer. Now, The Vault has some beautiful plants to go with the great furniture, design and construction of the recent renovation!

I recently saw a post claiming that Tenant Improvement (TI) construction costs are between $150/sf and $230/sf. That's an $80/sf spread—a huge range! How are we supposed to know if a lease deal makes sense with that kind of spread? In the last 4 months, several landlords have asked me about current construction costs, with many hearing $150/sf as the minimum. I found it hard to believe, so I pulled data from BEECHER's recent projects. Not one project hit $230/sf. The average cost of the 8 projects I examined was $88.38/sf; if you throw out the high and the low, it dropped to $80.96/sf. These figures include design and PM fees, not just construction.   Where's the Disconnect? Deals are Tough, Stop Hitting the Easy Button: It takes more effort, creativity, and time to make a project work today. Your Project is Unique, The Specifics Matter: Each project is unique, it’s unrealistic to apply rough estimates and expect to have results that can be relied upon. Perspective Matters, Are You a Tenant or a Landlord: Tenant and Landlord perspectives on the lease financials are just different. Articles and posts like the one previously mentioned, with broad estimates can kill deals before they start. Landlords hesitant about high TI costs might avoid projects, and tenants don't want to pay inflated costs. Instead of relying on generic pricing, take the time to determine the specific costs for your project.   To read more on my thoughts about current TI Pricing and how a good Project Manager can help facilitate a deal, please visit BEECHER’s “Building Perspective” Blog. https://lnkd.in/d8grpJwk   Let's work together to find the real value in your project! #Construction #RealEstate #TenantImprovement #ProjectManagement #BEECHER #BuildingPerspective

Beecher and Venture Architecture, Inc are working on The George together, but have also been providing high level feasibility analysis on other possible conversion projects. Hopefully, soon we'll be able to announce another conversion project and detail our process for driving value and reducing costs on these projects.

We're excited and prepared to represent Westside Investment Partners as their project manager on this project. This deal is just a snapshot of the activity going on at the DC Building; we've also just completed a number of great spec suites and are in construction on a major oil and gas expansion.
